User-Definable Field Formatting
The Reports view in Lizard provides the defaults and modifiable cell
attributes that are suitable for the reporting needs of most applications.
However, to enable the use of all formatting options of the underlying
report engine, Lizard provides a User format box for Advanced users
in the Cell properties tab. See
Figure 85 on page 174 .
0711-101 Figure 85 Advanced User Level Cell Properties Tab
The format setting in the User format box overrides all other format
settings for the selected cell. When you have defined this format, all
other inputs for the cell are disabled reflecting the default or previous
settings. There is no connection between the user format and the other
settings.
Enter the user format string using a syntax similar to print formatting
with the C programming language. The syntax and most commonly
used alternatives are listed below. Parameters in curly brackets {} are
optional.
%[inv]{flags}{width}{.precision}type
where
%
= Beginning of the format string
[ ] = Text enclosed in square brackets defines the output
when a value is invalid
{flags} = Justification and prefix. Alternatives:
-
Left align
+ Use sign also for positive values
0 Zero prefix the value
{width} = Total field width including the sign, decimal point,
and other additional characters. If the value cannot
be fit to the given width, the width will be extended.
