DOLLAR
Returns text representing a number in your local currency format.
Syntax:
DOLLAR(number; decimals)
- returns text representing number as currency. decimals (optional, assumed to be 2 if omitted) sets the number of decimal places.
- Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages - 'Default Currency' sets the currency to be used (normally be the currency of your locale).
Example:
DOLLAR(255)
- returns $255.00, if your currency is US dollars.
DOLLAR(367.456; 2)
- returns $367.46, if your currency is US dollars.
Issues:
- Because it depends on local settings, DOLLAR should not be regarded as portable.
