What is the correct number formatting (german) for Confluence (using in tables/chart macro)?

Kay August 15, 2025

Hi,

just want to configure the number formatting for Confluence.

We want it to be like 1.234.567,89

So I have tried the following:

Long format 

###.###

Long decimal format 

#.###,##

When I try to apply C says: Invalid decimal number format.

How to configure this correctly?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, thank you, I have read it alredy before. There is no description how to configure the correct format for german numbers. Or I am just blind...

Hi @Kay @Sven Alderath 

What is german format, as I'm dutch this should be the same format.

Try:

###,###

###,###,##

True, but in your example I miss the period dot in the patterns. I tried but when entering numbers in C with a comma it's not using it a decimal seperator. This works still only with a dot. Really weird...

Maybe my example makes it more clear:

Test 1 should be the hightest and a little bit higher than Test 3. The one in the middle should be the lowest.

The dot is used as a decimal seperator, but it should be the comma and the dot should be used to sperate the thousands only, no matter if written in the number or not (1500 = 1.500).

Hi @Kay 

Also are you browser and PC using the right locale.

Numbers is always tricky.

Kay September 8, 2025

On OS level it's correctly configured. The Browser is configured to take over the OS settings or is set correctly as well. Tried different browsers.

I am still pretty sure it's the uncorrect setting in Confluence.

Sven Alderath September 8, 2025

In my opinion the setting "setlocale" is missing.

It's probably a bug. I should open a ticket at Atlassians board and wait about 10 years for a solution...

Sorry, not sorry. :-D
