When selecting one of the predefined strings or creating a custom string, the example below the drop box shows how the selected or specified format-string takes effect.
§ The decimal and thousand separators are formatted according to the client regional settings and the currency format string is formatted according to the currency language set in Analytics Management Studio.
§ The format may also be reversed by selecting the 'Reverse sign' check box. This reverses all numbers (e.g. 1234,56 is displayed as -1234,56), except for the English (Worldwide) currency where the number is enclosed in parentheses instead.
