Hi, I’m working my way through the Make Academy. In the Basics section on formatNumber() the tutorial says, “Note that the Y and Z are optional for the formatNumber () function - if you do not specify these, they will default your organization settings.” I’m trying to figure out where this setting can be found. I’m in the U.S. and the default settings for decimal separator and thousands separator are backward for our standard.
Welcome to the Make community!
The locale is used to determine how things are formatted.
There is no setting to change your locale separately from your country.
To change your locale, you have to change your country as well.
However, I think you won’t be able to change the default parseNumber formatting.
Returns a number in the requested format. Decimal point is
,by default, Thousands separator is.by default.
So you will always have to specify the decimal and thousands separator if you want the decimal separator to be a period . and the thousands separator to be a comma , (which is everyone living outside the UK)
formatNumber( 123456789 ; 3 ; , ; . )
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
