Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi guys,

 

I have a field using whole number. This field automatically makes a thousand-separator for example 2020 become 2,020. Is there a way to deactivate the separator? thanks, guys.

    Hi @Anonymous,

    Yes you can update those default settings. Note that users can change their personal preferences as well. You can update by:

    1. Clicking the gear icon on the top right 
    2. Click "Advanced Settings" then in the "Settings" menu in the top navigation bar, select "Administration" and then pick "System Settings"
    3. On the popup window select the "Format tab"
    4. You can select a default format based on the region/country or click the Customize button to configure individually.

    For personal settings, select "Personalization Settings" after clicking the gear icon on the top right and then on the popup select the "Format tab".

    Hope this helps!

    To add to the previous post, this setting necessarily applies to all whole number fields. If you just want to change the display format for one field, your only realistic option is to recreate the field as a text field
