Hello @Inactive User !

 

Here in Brazil we use comma as decimal separators, try to convert these fields into a string field and then just replace the "." for ","

Hello @dougperez 

If i change the sting - it will only replaces the decimal as comma, but however is it will not change the numeric.
Example -  currently alteryx is reading as only 1000.00 i.e.1,000.00, but i need to make it 1.000,00. 
Thanks,
Guru

Hi @Inactive User ,

 

Maybe you can check your user settings? There you can define what's your thousand separator is and what's your decimal separator

@Inactive User If you change to 1.000,00 you should change the datatype to string

Try this formula:

ToString([Field1], 2, 1,",")

But you will need to create a string field to do this

Hi @dougperez - I tried this logic, it will only help me to perform only on the decimal part. 
Here i need to change a large data set involving multiple values involving thousands, millions as amounts. 
Example - 10234.13 needs to change 10.234,13
                  10012345.19 needs to change to  10.012.345,19

can you please help me ?

Thanks,
Guru
