Numbers without commas and anything else.

What are people doing for numeric input fields where "no comma" is required ? I've seen the use of text fields but find this a bit odd especially if you need to use a number that is displayed as a integer without commas. I need this for non-arithemetic computations .

Appreciate best practices on this. Thanks.

Hi Rick,

Currently it's not possible.
There is an Idea:

Workaround:
create a formula field with Text as return type.
Formula: Text( numberfield__c )

Thanks,

Thanks. I was hoping this was not the case. I'll need to use a text field as my users need to enter data without seeing the commas.

Hi Rick,

Yes for now with text field, ideas are there to have this feature and salesforce may consider this in future releases.

Thanks,
