Number formatting

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

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

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.
