No. At a time it will be either text or number. If I enter 10000, it should be formatted as 10,000. At some cases I will enter NONE. Usually if I enter text in numeric field, it won’t allow.

OK, then you can use this code as the field's custom Format script:

if (event.value && !isNaN(Number(event.value))) AFNumber_Format(2, 1, 0, 0, "", false);

Below code i found can set the number format, but how to format the field to take a specific value XX. If i enter number it should be formatted in numeric format and should take the character XX as well.

this.getField("fieldname").setAction("Format", 'AFNumber_Format(0, 1, 0, 0, "", false)');

Do you mean that if you enter "ABC" into the field it should stay the same, but if you enter "5" it should become "5.00" or something like that?

Not an existing one, but you can certainly write one... The tricky part will be to differentiate between a number and other text, and only apply the formatting to the former.
