Symptom
Xcelsius dashboards give incorrect decimal format for numbers when the regional settings are set to Spanish (Mexico).
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a dashboard and add any number in the spreadsheet, for exampe: 1,234.56
- Bind this data to the label component and set the regional settings for the operating system to Spanish (Mexico).
- Inspite of setting the appearance/test/number format in the properties of the label component, the data when previewed is displayed as 1,234.5600
- We find there are additional two zeros after the decimal.
Resolution
Keep the number format under the properties of the Label component to General and not numberic.
