Numeric Formatting

Numeric facts are scaled for presentation to reduce the appearance of redundant sequences of "000" groups. Each set of distinct units of facts selected for a report is scaled independently to preserve their significant digits. Note that this is performed only with respect to the fact values; the value of the decimals attribute of a fact does not directly affect this determination. For example, if there are three facts with unit USD:

then all three facts would be shown scaled by thousands. Other facts in the same report with units such as "Ratio", "Shares", or "USD per Share" would not be affected by the scaling of USD.

Cells in the layout have unit symbols assigned as follows:

  1. Each numeric cell has a unit (USD, GBP, Shares, etc.). A nonzero number will be displayed with a prefix consisting of the unit.
  2. If all of the cells in a column have the same unit, then the symbol is copied to the column heading and removed from the cells.
  3. For the non-zero cells in each column, remove a symbol from the cell if it has the same unit as the immediately prior nonzero cell, unless it is in the last row.
  4. For the non-zero cells, in each row, remove a symbol from a cell if it has the same unit as the immediately prior nonzero cell, unless it is in the last column.
  5. If there is a unique symbol for the unit ($, £, ¥, €, etc.) use that symbol as a prefix instead of the unit name as a suffix.
