Error with certain characters in custom format

Question

In the Angular PivotView I want to create a custom format for a row with the number formatting option by adding <format> 'characters'. Sometimes an error message is shown that the format was invalid. This error only occurrs for the characters c, n and p and it doesn't occurr always. The screenshot shows the error message:

I have also created a Stackblitz example that shows the error: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-juq8j9-4wflji?file=app.component.html

It seems that the error occurrs only with some combinations of modules, e.g. when the chart option is disabled the error didn't occurr.

Can you please have a look at it?

Best regards

Hi Gerd Tautenhahn, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
If you would like to display specific text next to the measure value then kindly follow the below custom formats, 
 
Consider 12,000 is the measure value, 
 




#,###c 

12,000c 


#,###n 

12,000n 


#,###p 

12,000p 
 
If you would like to display currency, number, percent formats. kindly follow the below custom formats, 
 




C 

$12,000

Hello Sivamathi,thanks for the answer. Your provided examples work but I still get an error if I type in 0.00c as custom format. Is that not a valid format? 0.00a works.You can test it in the Stackblitz that I provided in the first message.Regards,Gerd Tautenhan
