Question

Commas added to currency numeric field summaries

In a Summary Report, I am trying to make the 'Report formula' columns display with a comma added every three digits. ex: $1,234,321.00 instead of $1234321.00

The 'Report formula' is summarizing a Numeric - currency field as Formula - Numeric. The Numeric - currency field's properties is formatted to include these commas. The commas appear when I look at an individual record. But the 'Report formula' column does not display them on the Summary Report.

I have tried: ToFormattedText([Number - currency field], "comma_dot") but it receives an "expecting number" error. 

If add ToNumber at the beginning of that formula, it displays the value without the commas. 

Changing the 'Report formula' to a Formula - Text means I can't summarize the total. I can only count distinct values.

Any ideas as to how I can add the commas?

Hi Stephen,

Try the code below, it's something I found on here for a problem I had awhile ago. A quick test seemed to function properly as a report formula.

var text subtotal = ToFormattedText(Round( [Number - currency field]],0.01),"comma_dot");
var number subwheredot=If(Contains($subtotal,"."),Length(Right($subtotal,".")),0);
var text subtotaldisplay = If($subwheredot = 0, $subtotal & ".00", If($subwheredot = 1, $subtotal & "0", $subtotal));

$subtotaldisplay
