Basic Format

You can format cell values using standard number, date time, and custom formats. You can also set the culture to "ja-jp" or "en-us".

Numbers are formatted based on the current culture. The default culture is English. You can set the culture to "ja-jp" or "en-us". You can specify the culture for the widget or individual cells. The cell culture does not change the widget culture.

SpreadJS supports common fraction formats, such as "# ?/?", "# ??/??", "# ?/4", and "#,## ?/?". You can convert a negative value to a fraction. SpreadJS also supports the local ID "$-411" and DBNumber.

The custom format mode supports the combo, conditional, and forecolor formatters. The "(", ")", and "*" expressions are not supported.

You can also create a custom formatter with the FormatterBase class.

activeSheet.getCell(0, 4).formatter("#.#%");
activeSheet.setValue(0, 4, 1);
activeSheet.getCell(1, 0).formatter('[<0](0.0);[>0]0.0;"zero";@');
activeSheet.setValue(1, 0, 3);

Using Code

This example formats a cell value as a fraction.

JavaScript	Copy Code
var dvalue= 123.89; activeSheet.setValue(0,0,dvalue); activeSheet.getCell(0, 0).formatter("# ??/??");

Using Code

This example formats a cell value using locale ID "$-411".

JavaScript	Copy Code
var dvalue= 123.89; activeSheet.setValue(0,0,dvalue); activeSheet.getCell(0,0).formatter("[$-411]dddd");

Using Code

This example formats a cell value using DBNumber.

JavaScript	Copy Code
var dvalue= 123.89; activeSheet.setValue(0,0,dvalue); activeSheet.getCell(0,0).formatter("[DBNum2][$-411]General");

Using Code

This example sets the culture for the widget.

JavaScript	Copy Code
