Error in formatNumber when using specific custom number format

[Jaap]

Hello,

The formatNumber function gives an error when you try to format a number with a custom number format 0.####
The problem is that there are no zeros after the decimalseparator.
I have fixed it in the Kendo code, but not sure if I may post that here on the forum.

Also, looking to the code, I think there is an issue, when you have a number 1.23456 and you want to format it with 0.0##. You will get 1.23456 instead of 1.235.

Regards, Jaap

Some other issues I found:

Formatting the number 4000 with 0,000.########## results in 04,000 while it should be 4,000
Formatting the number 300 with 0,000.########## results in 0300 while it should be 0,300

#,##0.######### works ok.

Hi Jaap,

 
Thank you for pointing these issues related with the custom numeric formatting. We addressed all of them and the fixes will be included in the service pack of KendoUI scheduled for the mid of May.
As a gratitude for your involvement I have updated your Telerik points.

Have these issues been fixed?
I am using v2012.3.14120.03019 and see the following behavior:

kendo.toString(0.06608, "n4") = 0.0661
kendo.toString(0.06608, "0.0000") = 0.0661
kendo.toString(0.06608, "#.####") = 0.06608

I expect this should be 0.0661.

kendo.toString(0.06608, "n3") = 0.066
kendo.toString(0.06608, "0.000") = 0.066
kendo.toString(0.06608, "#.###") = 0.06608

I expect this should be 0.066.

kendo.toString(0.0364, "n4") = 0.0364 
kendo.toString(0.0364, "0.0000") = 0.0364
kendo.toString(0.0364, "#.####") = 0.0364

kendo.toString(0.0364, "n3") = 0.036
kendo.toString(0.0364, "0.000") = 0.036
kendo.toString(0.0364, "#.###") = 0.0364

I expect this should be 0.036.

What I'm looking for is a way to format a number to always have less than or equal to four decimal places:

kendo.toString(0.06, x) = 0.06
kendo.toString(0.066, x) = 0.066
kendo.toString(0.0660, x) = 0.0660
kendo.toString(0.06608, x) = 0.0661

Is there a value I can use for x in this case?

Hello Alexsander,

 
I believe that all aforementioned formats work as expected. Check this jsBin demo for more information. To answer you question you can use "#.####" format.

Georgi, thanks for the response. As you can see in this JSFiddle using Kendo v2012.3.1412 the "#.####" format does not result in the correct value. Your JSBin example uses v2013.1.319 so it appears this was an issue with the  earlier version of Kendo. Unfortunately I am not realistically able to upgrade Kendo as a solution at this point, so I'll have to find some other workaround. Thanks again.
