Scaling Numbers

You can do one of the following to scale a number:
  • Insert one or more commas before the decimal separator. Each comma that precedes the decimal separator divides the number by 1000. if you do not specify a decimal separator, then this configuration applies to all digits. Siebel CRM does not include a comma in the output string.

  • Include a percentage symbol (%) in the format argument. A percentage symbol multiplies the number by 100. Siebel CRM includes the percentage symbol in the output string in the same position where it occurs in the format argument.

The following table includes examples of using a comma or a percentage symbol to scale numbers.
