Background

This document describes how to force numbers to be displayed as a specified number of digits on a report by using a script in the report template. The script adds the necessary amount of leading zeros to the numbers.

Steps to Accomplish

Copy the following script and paste it as the contents of the BeforePrint script for the table cell or label that displays the number:


int number;
string value = (sender as XRLabel).Text;

bool result = Int32.TryParse(value, out number);
if (result)
{
   (sender as XRLabel).Text = number.ToString("D3");
}
else
{
   (sender as XRLabel).Text = value;
}


Notes:

The "D3" argument in the script sets the number of digits to 3.  Change the 3 to the desired number of digits.

If the number is not an integer value it will be displayed in its original format.
