DG's have individual fields at each "cell". You could store any custom formats representing the displayed values in a custom property of the relevant field, and extract that string instead of the visible one. Of course, this could be managed in the group script as well, since those fields respond

1. The underlying data structure is in the form of an array (dgData). So, anytime there is frequent access to edit, calculate, and re-display results, array will have an edge over list. This would be even better if LC introduced additional array manipulation commands such as (multidimensional) matr
