In my scheduled report, we have numbers in the range of 382 to 6,875. I can get the numbers to align properly in the UI display, but the scheduled report aligns the 6,875 to the left and the value 382 to the right margin. I know that the reason for this is that the 6,875 is treated as a string with the comma inserted. But, I have also tried to append a space in front of the shorter number, but it doesn't align correctly.
This is what I have tried - | eval num_records=" " + tostring(num_records,"commas")
I have tried using fieldformat after the table command, but it wasn't displaying correctly in the PDF.
I also tried using the | eval tot_records=printf("%'*d", 7, num_records) Using this one, I can't get it to pad to the correct number of digits AND use the thousands separator. Is there a way to do both?
This is what I'm seeing now.
This is the way that I would prefer to see it.
