    Re: 7 into 1

    I thought of that, but the field in the database where I need to save the number is integer type, so that rules out saving it as a string with delimiters.

    Can you datatype handle an integer value as high as

    024,024,024,024,024,024,024?

    Each grouping is the value for that day.

    Are you sure it is an integer and not a long in the database?

    But even so, if it's a maximum of 24 hours a day, then you could use a base 10 representation of a base 24 number (which would only be 7 digits long) which CAN be represented as an integer, I believe.
