Custom Column Help, Please

Fbone · 06-07-2016, 05:36 PM

In the custom columns I created for word count, pages and gr rating the integers are left aligned. Is there a syntax to have them centered (like size column) or, if not, right aligned?

For integers with one significant figure, can we have them display three significant figures so 4 can be 4.00? This would appear neater.

Thanks again.

Thanks. Easy enough

Anything on the significant figure question?

Not that I know of. Those are usually field type defaults

You can probably get something that suits via the Format for numbers attribute

For ints and floats the custom column dialogue has a link to the official python formatting specs. I find it somewhat 'tl:dr'; this is good enough for me ==>> mkaz.tech – Python String Format Cookbook

Thank you. Thank you. The link had what I needed.

The format is {:.2f} to add two decimal places.
