Is there a setting for incorporating numeric separator eg. $200000 could be presented as $ 200,000

KoBoToolbox does not support this directly but you could make a workaround to solve this issue as discussed in the post discussed previously:

Freeze a text based on the currency entered

@black, this is now available, but you could still do it as outlined in the image shared below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] In the choices tab of your xlsform: [Image 2] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 3] Reference xlsform: Currency name.xlsx (10.6 KB)

To this, my query was about separating the numerics. For example when we write the total population of school age children in a country is 250000. I would like the entered data be shown as 250,000.

Will this be possible? Please guide me. Thank you.

You could do this by using the thousand-separator appearance as outlined in the post discussed previously:

Thousand separator causing input delay in KoBoCollect

Hi @dheniardhian, I just made a check at my end and did not notice any lag. Would you mind checking them out again with the following: KoBoToolbox Form Builder UI: [image] Survey tab of your xlsform: [image] Reference xlsform: Thousand Separator.xlsx (9.5 KB) Checks: If you are still facing the issue, could you let us know the version of the KoBoCollect android you are using? Would you mind resetting your android device. Sometimes the lag should be in the device itself. Have a great day! …

A backup discussion for the same:

Thousands Separator Appearance

Hello, at least in Preview (Enketo) you get this (formatting below the field), when you leave the field): [image] Maybe not working for grid style? Kind regards
