Formats

You can set the default number format for date and number fields. For example, you may want to always show the Sales values as currency using the U.S. dollar sign and two decimal places. On the other hand, you may want to always show Discount as a percentage. To set the default formats, right-click a date or number field and select either Date Format or Number Format on the Default Properties menu. A dialog box opens where you can specify a default format.
