  • 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.
