Make decimal separator an option

I would like to be able to specify decimal separators as comma or period on a per table basis. So decouple it from my local computer settings. Reason being that I import data from all around the world and export to people around the world as well.

Hi Paul,

not sure if you came across the below wish. It's "In Development" (see comments) and goes in the same direction as your wish. There, a developer suggested to implement a field in which to enter the decimal sign which can be independent of the system settings or display language. This would work well for me, and I'm looking forward to it. I believe your idea is to add such a field to File -> Open, rather than the main preferences?

I like the plan mentioned in the post, if that can also be added to all file import dialog's we would have maximum robustness. It could probably be a table property (similair to a column property) for data stored in JMP tables.

@Ryan_Gilmore : please reopen the task.

 

Quite many people already had this wish. What is the reason that it cannot be implemented?

Are there some legal restrictions why it is not possible to add this option? 

 

It would help a lot of people in countries where comma and point are equally used as decimal separators.

 

sure: 

- Some users don't need this feature.

- There are workarounds.

+1 on adding this option ASAP.

 

First-time users struggle a lot not finding this option within the import settings. Any modern language has this option (see pandas doc).

The JMP workflow is great - but for some users (maybe even some users in the US?) it starts with a severe hiccup. No possibility to interactively define the decimal separator per file import. 

 

Jmp Users: we need it.

 

Jmp: really. Why?

 

Jmp Users: we need it, please!

 

Jmp: archived
