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.
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
NumberFormatOptionsoptions informatSettingsitself.
@Html.EJS().PivotView("PivotView").Width("100%").Height("300").DataSourceSettings(dataSource => dataSource.DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource)
.ExpandAll(false).EnableSorting(true)
.FormatSettings(formatsettings =>
{
formatsettings.Name("Amount").Format("C2").MaximumSignificantDigits(3).MinimumSignificantDigits(1).UseGrouping(false).Add();
}).Rows(rows =>
{
rows.Name("Country").Add(); rows.Name("Products").Add();
}).Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Name("Year").Caption("Year").Add(); columns.Name("Quarter").Add();
}).Values(values =>
{
values.Name("Sold").Caption("Units Sold").Add(); values.Name("Amount").Caption("Sold Amount").Add();
})).Render()public ActionResult Index()
{
var data = GetPivotData();
ViewBag.DataSource = data;
return View();
}This property is applicable only for relational data source.
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
DateFormatOptionsoptions informatSettingsitself.

}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.
