The only ‘catch’ is that you have to create a formula field using the routines to mirror any number or currency field you would ordinarily expose directly and incorporate this mirrored field in your invoice. (Typically, I keep the pretty-print fields hidden in my day-to-day work views and un-hide them only in the view — or Page Designer Block — I use to invoice.)
I strongly second that request.
I absolutely love Airtable and use it for more and more things, but in French everything uses a comma as decimal separator. So when I export csv files; or cut and paste numbers; or enter with the numeric keypad, I get wrong numbers OR my spreadsheet doesn’t see the values as a number but interprets it as a text. It is very frustrating and involves each time a supplemental step to convert the decimals manually to commas.
This is STILL a really bummer in airtable. In Europe we have a decimal COMMA “,” button in numpad.
See picture:
When entering numbers, for example “106,20” the input in that cell will be “10602.00”. As you may see, there’s a HUGE possibility to make massive errors.
So, internationalization team in work and make this ASAP!
Hello,
We also strongly need this feature, as this generates lots of errors in our Tables (any decimal figure that we enter with the numeric pad gets discretely multiplied by 100 if we are not extra careful)
Could you add a Checkbox in the preferences settings maybe, at least for the Desktop app? No doubt that would be a huge relief for any non-USA user.
(and that can also make the mini-calendar start on Mondays!)
Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:
Any news on this? Considering of expanding my business. So far I’ve been managing with Airtable with this comma flaw. But when there will be more people using it, cannot risk it. So do I need to find alternative for Airtable?
Hello, we are a fast growing German startup that also uses Airtable extensively. Unfortunately the missing comma feature leads to massive problems for us as well. High potential for errors when manually entering amounts of money. I would be very happy to receive a soon update regarding this issue.
