Overview
Yellowfin reports provide a great way of formatting data in a report column via Column Formatting. Although these predefined formatters let you display values in a unique way, this guide will teach you how to create your own custom formatters, and represent your data any way you like. This is done by formatting data types based on a user-defined Java class, which allows for parsing the returned database value and transforming it into another format.
Implementation Overview
Implementation of a custom formatter can be done by extending Yellowfin’s CustomFormatter class and by implementing all the required functions.
