Larger Number in Field

Posted on 6 May 2020 09:50:57 by Bruce Demont 9

Good day All,

 

I am adding a field into my entity that requires large numbers. 

Is there any way to input a larger number in the "whole number" data type.

 

For example a number that has 15 digits. 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @BruceD 

    Unfortunately, there is no way to store a large number, other than to use the text data type.

    A whole number field stores an integer, so the acceptable values would be -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

    You can store slightly more with the decimal and currency data types, but not 15 digits.

    I would suggest that you vote for this post in the ideas forum to add support for the "big int" data type.

    If it not allowing why not try a Text Column. That should take the numbers.
