Good morning,
How could I transform a number into French Notation?
Ex: 1000000.00 into 1 000 000,00
This information represents surface area on a map. I have already worked out the calculations and the placement transformers and am stuck on the customer's desired presentation.
Thank you,
Chris
Hi @ccomeau, had a look at the StringFormatter but couldn't get it working so a couple of AttributeSplitters and an AttributeManager did the job.
Hi @ccomeau, a PythonCaller with this script might help you.
# PythonCaller Script Example: Format a numeric value in French Notation
# Assuming that the feature has an attribute called "value" storing a numeric value.
# Format the numeric value using comma as thousands separator,
# replace commas with spaces, and then replace the decimal point with a comma.
def processFeature(feature):
attr = 'value'
v = float(feature.getAttribute(attr))
s = '{0:,.2f}'.format(v).replace(',', ' ').replace('.', ',')
feature.setAttribute(attr, s)

Good morning,
Thank you both for the quick replies. Your FMWs reminded me that I need to update my licence from 2015.1.0.3 as some transformers are not available.
@itay, the FMW you posted works well with millions but smaller and larger numbers do not format correcly. EX. 235 came out as 2 35 . I would need to split from the right. Perhaps flipping the number around then splitting if, then flipping the lists around would work.
@takashi, I had not thought of using Python. Interesting solution option. Sadly, I am a novice programmer and can't get your first solution working. That being said, your second option using the local settings was a novel solution that did work.

Format number from: 1000000 to 1 000.000
