ToText Formula rounding my number up

I have a currency field that I need to transfer to a text field for a specific reason. When using the toText formula on that field, it rounds up anything over 1 million that has any cents. for example, = 1548778.25. In the formula field, ToText([Currency]) = 1548778.3.
BUT
If I were to do  = 45.28, it converts it correctly to 45.28 
Why is this happening and how can I stop it??
  • I can't explain that behaviour (but it might have to do with limitations on how Quick Base handles very large numbers), but try this

    ToText(Round([Currency], 0.01))

      I guess that is better than being called "the creature from the black lagoon".

      thank you, you beautiful creature. I am definitely having a face-palm moment, I knew it was super simple.
