Data Formats in Blazor Grid
By default, if data formats are not used, the IntegralUI Grid will show it as plain text in each column cell, regardless of value type. Using data formats can help displayed data to become more readable. This is usually the case when you have Dates or localized Currency numbers displayed in the Blazor Grid.

This demo shows several columns with different data formats set depending on the value type. Dates are displayed in short format, floating numbers are displayed in USD currency format with two decimals and integer numbers have commas separating digits by thousand.
Supported Data Formats in Blazor Grid
The IntegralUI Grid component supports the following data formats
- NumericFormat - enables language-sensitive number formatting
- DateTimeFormat - enables language-sensitive date and time formatting
- String Format - a default string formatting
All available formatting options (standard and custom) from the NumericFormat and DateTimeFormat, are usable in the Grid. Same for String values, you can format the text to appear by providing the format specifier.
Each grid column can have its own data format set. You can do this within column definition in Blazor HTML or in code by setting the FormatSpecifier property for the data column object to a specific format string. Here are few examples:
Column where numbers are displayed as USD currency:
Column where numbers are displayed in percents with two decimals:
Column with dates where day has two digits, a short name for a month and year in full:
Localization
To show dates in different language like Japanese, just set the Locales property to "ja-JP" and set the FormatSpecifier property to corresponding date pattern. In addition, you can also provide your own CultureInfo object to the Culture property.
There are many other options to choose from, including language localization. For more information, check out the official .NET documentation for data formatting.
