This menu allows formatting of Table view columns. The menu is called from the Table view Column pop-up menu. The items are greyed out if the current column attributes data type cannot be formatted: the supported types are Number-type and Date-type data.
Formatting options are locale dependent, e.g. for currency, number thousands delimiter, dates and times.
The menu options are:
- Normal. (default). Setting this removes Number or Date custom formatting depending on the attribute type.
- $. (Number-type). Format as locale's currency with symbol.
- 3.14. (Number-type). Show number with decimal places (if any).
- 3. (Number-type). Show number (rounded) as integer.
- 7%. (Number-type). Shows number as a percentage, with symbol.
