Numeric formats

In the Services Controls tab, you can configure how numerical values are treated.

Setting Description

Local number formats

If this setting is not specified, Experience Analytics uses a default list of two formats. The first format uses the setting for Decimal Character for Numbers as a decimal separator and the alternative as a thousands separator. The second format uses the reverse.

Note: Experience Analytics first tries to parse the numbers in each local format by requiring that the number be formatted exactly as expected. Experience Analytics then tries to parse the numbers again for each locale in a mode that ignores missing or misplaced thousands separators. This can have unexpected results. For example, 123456.78 parses successfully as 12,345,678 in the fr-FR locale.

Events that extract machine-readable (no thousands separator, . as decimal separator) numbers (such as from JSON or XML data) should be written as custom events, parse the hit attribute in JavaScript™ code, and call setFact() with the numeric value rather than a string. By doing this, they work independent of Local number formats.

Parse Numerics as Currency When set to True, numeric values that are detected in session data are treated as currency values. These values are rounded to two decimal points of precision, and the Decimal Character for Numbers is applied.
