Hello everyone, I am trying to understand how to display the separator of thousands and decimals in the Italian format. Currently the comma is used to separate the thousands. I am using a “measure” that calculates the number of working days from the total number of hours divided by “8”.

Hi @kalos

I see that you already found a Community post referencing custom locales: [Number format from 1,234.56 to 1.234,56 - #2 by gerda.grantina](https://community.eazybi.com/t/number-format-from-1-234-56-to-1-234-56/8971/2)

In the documentation page, you’ll find that you can create your own custom locales file: [Custom locales](https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/set-up-and-administer/customization/custom-locales#Customlocales-AddacustomlocaletoaJirainstance)

ChatGPT returned the following possible settings for Italian locale:

Please, double-check before implementing.  
I hope that this leads to the right direction!
