[Mondrian] Numeric Member autoformat problem

By the way. I've thought for some time that writing a MemberFormatter is an
onerous solution to problems like these. (Write the java class, compile it,
include it in a jar, add it to the schema.xml, rinse and repeat.) A good
feature would be formatters (and other similar plugins) written in script.
 
In the schema file you could write
 
<Level <http://mondrian.pentaho.com/documentation/schema.php#XML_Level>
column="column" name="name">
   <FormatScript>return sprintf(member.key, "%0d")</FormatScript>
</Level>

and Mondrian would execute the included JavaScript whenever it needed to
format the member.
 
It should allow for much more rapid iterative development. Contributions
welcome...

Mehdi,

Can you copy paste your complete Level element configuration? Using a
MemberFormatter is the way to go. Was there any exception message thrown by
Mondrian telling you it failed to instantiate the MemberFormatter?

Hi,

I'm using mondrian 3.2.1. I have a Level which is integer and it has 8
digits length, its definition is as follows:
<Dimention name="TrxDate">
<Hierarchy hasAll="true" allMemberName="All">
<Level name="TrxDate" column="..." uniqueMembers="true"/>
</Hierarchy>
</Dimention>

when I want to use this dimension in query like
SELECT {[Measures].{Trx]} on COLUMNS, {[TrxDate].[20110403]} on ROWS from
[Types]

I encounter the error that [TrxDate].[20110403] not found, but when I run
the query as
SELECT {[Measures].{Trx]} on COLUMNS, {[TrxDate].[2.0110403E7]} on ROWS from
[Types]

the query executed successfully. I don't know how Mondrian formatted the
members?
I also tried various types on the Level definition in schema like
type="String" or type="Numeric" but the result is as the same. I also
created a "MemberFormatter" and assigned it to the Level definition in
schema, but it is not called.

I also tried the query
SELECT {[Measures].{Trx]} on COLUMNS, {[TrxDate]} on ROWS from [Types]

and then print the result through result.print() method and it seems that
Mondrian load the members as scientific format.

I would appreciate any help!
