Format phone number in cell

[Jonathan]

Hi I'm trying to format a 10 digit phone number via the template property in the column definition.  The following does not work, but shows what I am after:

{
field: "phone",
title: "Phone Number",
template: '#= kendo.toString(phone,"(###) ###-####") #'
}

Any suggestions.  I also tried escaping the hash symbols with \\, but that did not help. 

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

 
As I pointed in the other forum thread, the kendo.toString method is not intended to format numbers using custom numeric formats, which have groups of numbers. You will need to use custom method which do this.
