You don't give a context for where you want to use this value. I am assuming you want it in some save- or send- template.

One way using general program mode:

Code:

program: re(format_number(field('series_index'), '{0:05.2f}'), '\.00', '')

You would add any other fields to re's return value as needed, possibly using the template or finish_formatting functions.

Another way using template program mode:

Code:

{:'template("program: re(format_number(field('series_index'), '[[0:05.2f]]'), '\.00', '')")'}

Using "template" is required here because you cannot use { and } in template program mode and these characters are required by format_number. The template function converts the [[ and ]] to { and }.

Yet another way: write your own user defined template function to do what you want.
