  • 1.  Visual Logic with Comma Separated Numbers

    Posted 06-13-2022 17:17
    We are feeding data into our elections graphics via DataLinq, and that then gets sent to a text object via Visual Logic. We would like to comma deliniate the numbers (e.g., 6182479 becomes 6,182,479) along the way. Is there a method of doing this in Visual Logic? We don't have the ability to edit this at the source xml.

    Dan,
    I'm not at my Xpression right now but you SHOULD be able to use the format float block and set up a custom format.

    Hi Dan
    As Malcolm says you use the Format Float block. If you replace the String Value block with your Datalinq block, then the below will do what you need.
