Vista - Custom format numeric values

Hi,

How to make a custom format for my numeric values.
I need to format respectively 5197213 and 459832 to 51.97213 and 4.59832
(dot - 5 decimal)

Regards,

Robertico

Is this just for display or do you want to keep it as a numeric format with a
fixed 5 decimal places??

if just for display try

"{0:F5} {1:F5}" -f (5197213/100000), (459832/100000)

You can format the numbers with the zero placeholder format specifier:


PS > "{0:0\.00000}" -f 5197213
51.97213

PS > "{0:0\.00000}" -f 459832
4.59832

Shay,

"{0:0\.00000}" ... thats the trick.... i forgot the backslash before the
decimal dot.
(the output is saved as text file !)

Thanks and regards,
