Conversion

Convert a value of one data type into a value of another data type using conversion functions. The following conversion functions are available:

  • from string to integer, number, currency, percentage, date, dateTime or boolean
  • from integer to string, number, currency or percentage
  • from number to string, integer, currency or percentage
  • from currency to string, integer or number
  • from percentage to string, integer or number
  • from date to string or dateTime
  • from dateTime to string or date
  • from boolean to string, integer or number

Syntax

TEXT(integer, [format], [locale])
TEXT(number, [format], [locale])
TEXT(currency, [format], [locale])
TEXT(percentage, [format], [locale])
TEXT(date, [format])
TEXT(dateTime, [format])
TEXT(boolean, [format])
INTEGER(string, [format], [locale])
INTEGER(number)
INTEGER(currency)
INTEGER(percentage)
INTEGER(boolean)
NUMBER(string, [format], [locale])
NUMBER(integer)
NUMBER(currency)
NUMBER(percentage)
NUMBER(boolean)
CURRENCY(string, [format], [locale]
CURRENCY(integer)
CURRENCY(number)
PERCENTAGE(string, [format], [locale]
PERCENTAGE(integer)
PERCENTAGE(number)
DATE(string, [format])
DATE(dateTime)
DATETIME(string, [format])
DATETIME(date)
BOOLEAN(string, [format])
  • value - The value of the date type that is converted.
  • format - The format used for conversion. Format must be enclosed by quotes, e.g. “00.00”.
  • locale - Locale specifies a combination of language and country. A locale in the option set will override the one that is used as default in the project. Commonly used are en-US, en-GB, nl-NL, nl-BE, fr-FR. The list of language codes can be found here. A list of country codes can be found here.

Examples

  • TEXT(PERCENTAGE(1.2), “00.00”, “nl-NL”) results in a string value “01,20”
  • INTEGER(“1,0”, ”#0.0”, “nl-NL”) results in an integer value 1
  • NUMBER(TRUE) results in a number value 1.0000
  • CURRENCY(“1.2”, “invalidPattern”) results in a currency value 1.20 (an unknown pattern will be ignored)
  • DATETIME(“19861221 12:02:56”, “yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss”) results in a dateTime value 1986-12-21T12:02:56
  • BOOLEAN(“1”,”1;0”) results in a boolean value TRUE

Formats in the runtime

Each data type is defined in the runtime as follows:

  • INTEGER #0
  • NUMBER #0.0000
  • CURRENCY #0.00
  • PERCENTAGE #0.00
  • BOOLEAN true,1;false,0

E.g.: numbers will always be shown with 4 decimals.

More functions

ISUNKNOWN

This function replaces a value if that value is unkown.

Syntax

ISUNKNOWN(attribute, value)
  • attribute - Attribute of which the value has to be returned if that value is known.
  • value - Value to return if the attribute value is unknown.

Return type

  • any type, equals the attribute type

Examples

Suppose the following data model.

 

Person.namePerson.SequenceNumber
“Bob”654
“Jane”?
“Mary”667
“Rick”?
“Ron”?
“Jenny”765

 

  • for Jane, ISUNKNOWN(Person.SequenceNumber, 999) returns 999
  • for Mary, ISUNKNOWN(Person.SequenceNumber, 999) returns 667
