    If this answer helps you solve the problem please mark this reply as verified answer so developers in the future can reference this.

    Yes! The issue here is that in the "ca-FR" (French - Canada) locale, the default currency symbol is set to "€" instead of "$" in PowerApps. To explicitly force the use of the "$" symbol, you need to manually set the currency format instead of relying on the locale’s default.

    Solution:

    Use the Text function with a custom format:

    Text(Value(Parent.Default), "$ #,##0.00")

    Explanation:

    • $ #,##0.00 ensures that:
      • The dollar sign ($) is explicitly placed.
      • Thousands are separated properly.
      • Two decimal places are always shown.

    Alternatively, if you want to ensure the currency formatting is based on the English Canadian locale (ca-EN), try:

     
    Text(Value(Parent.Default), "[$-en-CA]$ #,##0.00")

    Thks for your quick reply
     
    Text(Value(Parent.Default); "[$-en-CA]$ #,##0.00") Doesn't work. I get an error in the function
     
    Text(Value(Parent.Default); "$ #,##0.00") This works, but still put EURO sign !
     
    French Canadien dont't put "," to separate thousand. Only for decimal and $ should be at the end.
     
     
    ex: 1 2345,56 $
