How do I format currency data in a Text input?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Spawn10 330
I have a Text input data card on my form that I use to collect data from users. The field is used to collect currency data, and I want to format the entry in this format "$1,234.00" when users type in their values. 
How do I accomplish this?

    To make it display after saving, you need the code below, You can also display it underneath in a Label using the same syntax, but referring to the control output rather than the field name. 
    Text(ThisItem.YourFieldName, “$#,###.00”)
    If you want it to display immediately after the user enters this.
    Put this OnChange of the Text control.
    UpdateContext(
   {
      varInput: Text(
         Value(Self.Text),
         "$#,###.00"
      )
   }
);
Reset(Self)
    and the Format to
    TextFormat.Text
    If it is a Modern control, use .Value instead of .Text on both.
    Set the DelayOutput to 
    true
    Now the Default of the Text control (assuming an existing value needs to be displayed)
    Coalesce(
   varInput,
   Text(
      ThisItem.YourNumberField,
      "$#,###.00"
   )
)
    If this Form is only used for new records 
    varInput
    and the Update of the Data Card you can leave it at 
    Value(YourTextInput.Text)
    again using .Value instead of .Text if a Modern control.
     
    Also reset varInput after you save (OnSuccess of your Form) and at Screen OnVisible
    UpdateContext({varInput: Blank()})
