Is it possible to format a numeric field with the thousand seperator?
Example
60000
should be 60,000
Yes, using the Text function:
Text(60000,"#,#")
will display your desired result in locales such as en-US. In some other locales it might display as "60 000" or "60.000".
Thanks for this, how would I use that against bound data from a database field?
If I understand you correctly:
Text(somefieldname,"#,#")
where somefieldname is bound to some data.
That would be correct, sorry to be dum, however where do I put this formatting? Is it in the format field?
Thanks
Mark
Lets assume you have a Label that you wish to display the value.
Click on the Label, then next to the Fx bar select Text from the property list combo box, and enter the formula above.
How would this be applied to a text/number input rather than a label?
