Number formatting not allowing anything other than Auto

[Ken_Hardwick]

Hello,

When I include the formula sum({<Year = {'2019'}>} Qty*Pricing) and the formula sum({<Year = {'2020'}>} Qty*Pricing) into my report I am able to change the number formatting however I wish. I have this set to money.

As soon as I include the formula sum({<Year = {'2020'}>} Qty*Pricing) - sum({<Year = {'2019'}>} Qty*Pricing) I am unable to change the number formatting from Auto. What is in this formula that is causing issues?

Thanks

Which chart you are using? What are the dimensions?

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to format your expression to anything other than Auto.

An workaround to this problem could be to define the format in the expression like this :

Money( sum({<Year = {'2020'}>} Qty*Pricing) - sum({<Year = {'2019'}>} Qty*Pricing) )
