Number Formatting -- Dollar signs, commas and decimal points

I am using PowerApps to create the form for a SharePoint list. I have 2 columns that are fomatted as currency in the original list, with a 3rd that's a calculation of the difference. I've seen solutions for text fields used for numbers wherein they use a formula to change the field to start with a dollar sign and end with .00. This won't work for me. Is this being added to PowerApps soon?

 

This is for a new list; however, I have a number of SP lists in InfoPath that we want to convert to PowerApps and we must have that functionality in order to do that.

    Hi @JC-8 

     

    Could you please try this formula expression?

    Text( CurrencyColumnName, "[$-en-US]$ #.00" )

    Hi @JC-8 ,

    Have you tried testng @v-yuxima-msft  solution?

     

    On PowerApps are you using a Gallery to display the SharePoint list or a Form?

    If you're using a Gallery:
    For 2nd Column Just add TextInput or Label and change the Text() Property to: (for first Column)

    Text( CurrencyColumn1, "[$-en-US]$ #.00" )

     

    For 2nd Column add another TextInput or Label and change the Text() Property to :(for second Column)

    Text( CurrencyColumn2, "[$-en-US]$ #.00" )


    If you're using Form:

     

    Find the DataCard InputBox and change the Text() Property to:

    Text( Parent.Default, "[$-en-US]$ #.00" )

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Thanks,
