27 Apr 20246 minutes to read

You can format the number, date, and time values for each field using formatSettings option under dataSourceSettings. It can be configured through code behind, during initial rendering.

Number formatting

For numbers, the formatting settings required to apply through code behind are:

• name: It allows to set the field name.
• format: It allows to set the format of the respective field.

Also, you can customize the applied number format by setting the NumberFormatOptions options in formatSettings itself.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';
import { Pivot_Data } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-container',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' height='350' [dataSourceSettings]=dataSourceSettings width=width></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public dataSourceSettings?: IDataOptions;
    public width?: string;

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.width = '100%';

        this.dataSourceSettings = {
            dataSource: Pivot_Data as IDataSet[],
            expandAll: false,
            drilledMembers: [{ name: 'Country', items: ['France'] }],
            formatSettings: [{ name: 'Amount', format: 'C2', useGrouping: false,
                    minimumSignificantDigits: 1, maximumSignificantDigits: 3 }],
            columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
            values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }],
            rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
            filters: []
        };
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Date and Time formatting

For date and time, the formatting settings required to apply through code behind are:

• name: It allows to set the field name.
• format: It allows to set the format of the respective field.
• type: It allows to set the type of format to be used for the respective field.

Also, you can customize the applied date format by setting DateFormatOptions options in formatSettings itself.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { PivotViewAllModule, PivotFieldListAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IDataOptions, IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';
import { Pivot_Data } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        PivotViewAllModule,
        PivotFieldListAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-container',
  // specifies the template string for the pivot table component
  template: `<ejs-pivotview #pivotview id='PivotView' [dataSourceSettings]=dataSourceSettings width=width></ejs-pivotview>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public dataSourceSettings?: IDataOptions;
    public width?: string;

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.width = '100%';

        this.dataSourceSettings = {
            dataSource: Pivot_Data as IDataSet[],
            expandAll: false,
            drilledMembers: [{ name: 'Country', items: ['France'] }],
            formatSettings: [{ name: 'Year', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy-hh:mm', type: 'date' }],
            columns: [{ name: 'Year', caption: 'Production Year' }, { name: 'Quarter' }],
            values: [{ name: 'Sold', caption: 'Units Sold' }, { name: 'Amount', caption: 'Sold Amount' }],
            rows: [{ name: 'Country' }, { name: 'Products' }],
            filters: []
        };
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Limitations of date formatting

As per Firefox and Edge browsers standards, most of the date and time formats used in data source aren’t supported. For example: Apr-2000, Apr-01-2000, 01-03-2000, 2000-Apr-01 etc… are not supported. Meanwhile ISO formats will be supported across all browsers.
