Customize number, date and time values in Angular Pivotview component

23 Aug 20257 minutes to read

You can format the number, date, and time values for each field using the formatSettings option under dataSourceSettings. This configuration is applied during component initialization to ensure consistent data presentation across the pivot view.

Number formatting

For numeric fields, the formatting settings include the following properties:

• name: Specifies the field name to which the formatting should be applied.
• format: Defines the number format pattern for the respective field (e.g., ‘N2’ for two decimal places, ‘C’ for currency).

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 { IDataSet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pivotview';
import { Pivot_Data } from './datasource';
import { DataSourceSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-pivotview/src/model/datasourcesettings-model';

@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?: DataSourceSettingsModel;
    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 fields, the formatting settings include these properties:

• name: Specifies the field name to which the formatting should be applied.
• format: Defines the date/time format pattern for the respective field (e.g., ‘dd/MM/yyyy’, ‘MMM yyyy’).
• type: Specifies the format type to be used for the respective field (Date, Time, or DateTime).

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

            dataSource: Pivot_Data as IDataSet[],
            expandAll: false,
            drilledMembers: [{ name: 'Country', items: ['France'] }],

Limitations of date formatting

According to Firefox and Edge browser standards, most date and time formats used in data sources are not supported. For example: Apr-2000, Apr-01-2000, 01-03-2000, 2000-Apr-01 and similar formats are not recognized. However, ISO formats are supported across all browsers for consistent date handling.
