Grid Cells Formatting

jqxGrid

The cellsformat property can be used for applying a formatting to the cell values. In the code example below is illustrated how to apply a custom formatting to a column with Date values and to a column with Numeric values.
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid(
{
source: source,
columns: [
{ text: 'Ship Name', datafield: 'ShipName', width: 250 },
{ text: 'Shipped Date', datafield: 'ShippedDate', width: 230, cellsformat: 'D' },
{ text: 'Freight', datafield: 'Freight', width: 130, cellsformat: 'F2', cellsalign: 'right' },
{ text: 'Ship Address', datafield: 'ShipAddress', width: 350 },
{ text: 'Ship City', datafield: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
{ text: 'Ship Country', datafield: 'ShipCountry', width: 101 }
]
});
Number format strings:
"d" - decimal numbers.
"f" - floating-point numbers.
"n" - integer numbers.
"c" - currency numbers.
"p" - percentage numbers.

For adding decimal places to the numbers, add a number after the formatting string.
For example: "c3" displays a number in this format $25.256
Built-in Date formats:

// short date pattern
"d" - "M/d/yyyy",
// long date pattern
"D" - "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy",
// short time pattern
"t" - "h:mm tt",
// long time pattern
"T" - "h:mm:ss tt",
// long date, short time pattern
"f" - "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy h:mm tt",
// long date, long time pattern
"F" - "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy h:mm:ss tt",
// month/day pattern
"M" - "MMMM dd",
// month/year pattern
"Y" - "yyyy MMMM",
// S is a sortable format that does not vary by culture
"S" - "yyyy\u0027-\u0027MM\u0027-\u0027dd\u0027T\u0027HH\u0027:\u0027mm\u0027:\u0027ss"
