Formatting

Hi All,

 

I have a "Text" column in my report and have formatted it as a Count (Deal Count #).

 

Is there a way i can add "," to the column like the number should look like 1,240 and the total like 178,994?

Hi Amit,

 

Yes a measure will work fine I know but just wanted to know if there is another solution without creating a measure as creating a measure everytime is not a solution is i have multiple columns in my report.

 

Regards

@Anonymous , do the formatting of the column in model view as shown in the link. That should work
