How to display amounts in Excel Accounting format?

Hi,

Oracle EBS 12.1.3

Using BI Publisher, how do I display the amounts in Accounting format in Excel?

I am able to display the amounts in the currency format using <?format-number:ITEM_TOTAL;'$9G999D99'?>

However the business wants it be displayed as below (Accounting format in Excel) where zeroes are displayed as dash.

Thanks in advance.

    Nope, I just do not normally monitor this forum.

    This is not a feature they can use in EBS 12.1.3.

    In 12.2 they could use an Excel layout. But they are not supported in 12.1.3.

    Rgds,

    @Kevin McDermott-Oracle Apologies for calling you out :-) You have always answered my BI/XML Publisher questions. Hence! :-)

    Thanks for responding. Did I post this question in the wrong forum? This is the BI/XML Publisher forum, right?

    NP.

    This is Analytics, we still have BIP (OAS) under

    BTW can you move this question to that forum?

  • I would say they can't move the question because it's a different node in the forum platform ("tech" vs "mosc").

    This forum isn't technically wrong for a BIP question (ok, the category for OBIEE/OAS would have been a better match), but it's the public one while the MOSC forum require a valid support contract attached to your profile to access it (and there you often find the same categories as in here, or more detailed choice like BIP having a category).
