At the start of voting I felt in total minority.
But according to the SI/ISO 31-0 standard he space is the only neutral separator. The space is appropriate also because in some countries the comma is the decimal separator (not always the democratic vote is the best choice.)

Antonia

seems to support Jim’s suggestion of space as default.

Supporting Jim’s suggestion on a system/implementation setting to configure a default system-wide separator in addition to the possibility of overriding this for each pivot table or other type of report with display options. I guess the result of the vote could still be what the default value for this system setting should be…

To me the most important way to address this is to allow an implementation-wide default. The space character is in many ways the “correct” separator according to international norms, and is even making inroads into countries such as the US that traditionally use the comma. I think the space is probably the best “factory” default for DHIS 2, so that large numbers are readable on demonstration systems, and so we follow international and emerging standards.
However, an implementation should be able to override this with an implementation-wide default of comma, where a preponderance of users for that implementation are more used to this, and/or where exporting to Excel is a concern.
Expecting users to override the default every time they create a pivot table is not very user-friendly.

I vote for having none as default (1432) then one can choose what they want in options

Hi there,
we are getting many (conflicting) requests for what the default value should be for the “digit group separator” in the pivot table app.
So lets decide with a poll… Cast your vote here before Friday 6th!
The digit group separator controls how large numbers are being split up, e.g.
1 432
1,432
1432
The digit group separator can be controlled from Options.
regards,
Lars
