    Image Added

    A value converter is only required when the bound source property needs to be converted to number or date-time for formating:

    • DateTime Converter - converts a string to the native date-time value;
    • Double Converter - converts a string to a numeric value;
    • SAP Date Converter - converts SAP date string YYYYMMDD to the native date value;
    • SAP Time Converter - converts SAP time string to the native time value.

    Use Regular Expression to fulfil advanced formatting requirement. More about regular expression can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expressions

    RequirementRegex SettingExample
