Rich Text Formula Field - Comma for Currency #?

Hey Community, I'm using a Rich Text Formula field called NPV(Color) to show the NPV value in red when it's negative. It's working well but now I just need to format it - I can't seem to add commas...

I understand the format and know what you're getting at. I'm not sure if I put it in correct. 

It tells me I have additional characters past my formula...

Please see screen grab is that right?

Please copy and paste your code, so I can see it all and edit it.
Also please post the error message when you save.

      Can you use the whole formula I posted?  You left out part of it.  But in any event here is a better version to use.


      var text Value = 

      "$" &
      ToFormattedText([NPV],"comma_dot",3) &
      If(
      not Contains(ToText([NPV]),"."),
      ".00",
      Length(Right(ToText([NPV]),"."))=1,"0"
      );

      If([NPV]<=0,"<font color=\"red\">" & $Value & "</font>","<font color=\"black\">" & $Value &"</font>")​
