Hello,
We have your pivot tables component integrated to our web product, and we are having some problems with customers that have the numbers in Spanish formatting ( comma for decimals and dots for thousands). The problem is that the sums that are generated with pivot tables component are not accurate. I'm thinking that we might need to indicate to pivot tables how to treat the number formatting? I checked the doc, and found this link: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/managing-data-presentation-csv/, but it doesn't indicate anything about number formatting. Can you guide me to do this?
Here is the CSV that we use as a data source: http://datos.energiaabierta.cl/rest/datastreams/244590/data.csv?pArgument0=2017
We are doing the following operation with the pivot tables (see attachment-01.png). I'm also attaching another image with the correct sum using excel pivot tables (attachment-02.png)
Here is the pivot tables integration (click on "pivotear" icon on the left sidebar): http://datos.energiaabierta.cl/dataviews/241243/generacion-bruta-en-sistemas-medianos/
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ignacio,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Yes, you right the component is not ready to receive the formatted data in CSV. Please consider the idea of passing not formatted data and then applying the appropriate formatting on the grid. You can do it using the Format object, which is the property of the report object - http://www.flexmonster.com/api/format-object/.
Please let us know if everything works fine for you.
Regards,
Dmytro.
Thanks for the explanation. I will review our implementation and will contact you if I need more information.
One more question: We are thinking to change to a JSON data source implementation to implement these changes. Will I need new keys for our customers?

Hello, Ignacio,
Your current keys will work with JSON data source as well.
Should you have any other questions - feel free to ask.
Regards,
Tanya
