Number format - complete zero suppress [message #774870]

I have a field from a data set in a BIRT table. What I want to do is simply display a blank (or nothing) if the value is zero - standard zero suppression. I cannot get it to work using Custom number format #,### - it always displays "0".

The number is a whole number - no decimals.

Any clues? Thanks

I ended up creating a column binding with this as the expression:

if (row["MY_NUMBER"] != 0) {
Formatter.format(row["MY_NUMBER"], "#,###")
} else {
""
}

I guess the java DecimalFormat does not do the trick in this case.
