Specify format strings for numbers

The Specify format strings for numbers dialog box lets you specify the formats to use for the various types of measure numbers. These are used when displaying the actual and target values for a measure in reports. For example, in defining a measure for a plan object, you can specify that values are to have a currency format. This step defines what that currency format is.

There is one method to specify your format strings. You can use this method for any of the four types. The method uses the pound sign (#).

This step is only required when creating an empty database from a shell.
