Good Afternoon,

Is it possible to format the numeric values in a column within InfoAssist to say change a number value to floating dollar, add comma seperator for thousands, etc? The only whay I have found to do this would be to create a new define field that references the primary field and adjust the format on the defined. This seems like alot of overhead for simply adjusting the column number format. I know I could also modify the synonym but I'd prefer not to do that every time as the end user may have their own preferences about how they want the values displayed. I have been unable to find anything in the documentation for 7.6.8 that explains how this can be done.

Thanks,
Bob Cook

We introduced that feature in 7.6.9. You can right-click on a measure and there is a Format option.
