Hello Everyone

 

I need to format the numbers before they are written into an Excel.

 

InputExpected Output
  
100.10100.10
1000.101,000.10
10000.1010,000.10
100000.101,00,000.10
1000000.1010,00,000.10

 

so on and so forth.

I went through a series of solutions within the community but it did not satisfy my requirement.

 

Kindly let me know.

What solutions have you tried? The TOSTRING function would work like a charm

@Kallis as @alexnajm mentioned use the toSTring() function, attaching the alteryx formula

Thanks @binu_acs but I still want the datatype to remain numerical. This is what I am unable to. I tried ToNumber and also Select to convert the datatype to any integer but the formatting (. and ,) is removed

That’s correct - you cannot do this for numeric data in Alteryx since numbers don’t have formatting. You can change the formatting in your output.
