How to show booksize in MB (3 digits) or KB (no gigits)

Reader4106 · 12-23-2014, 10:02 AM

I've tried by myself for hours and was searching the internet and this forum some hours more but did not get a clue.

- How can I change the column for size to show in MB with three digits?

or
- How to make a custom column to show the size in KB with no digits?

Thanks for help

You can do it with a custom column made from other columns. The template could be:

Code:

program: format_number(divide(booksize(), 1024), '{0:.0f}')

or if you want commas

Code:

program: format_number(divide(booksize(), 1024), '{0:,.0f}')

Change the 1024 to 1000 if you want "decimal" KB

Wohw!!
Merci beaucoup Chaley. That was quick.

And…
After your help I was able to format in different ways.
