Currency Formatting and Backspace issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3ation 224

Hi Guys

We have a text input, Formatted to be Number only , We wanted to format that number to currency, so we are using 

Text( Value(Coalesce(txtCVFitOut.Text,"")), "[$-en-US]#,##0" )
 
This seems to work nicely, The issue is when the user hits the backspace, once the backspace reaches the first comma, It jumps a character to the left, and does not delete that character... the user has to hit right arrow and backspace again... to delete the full content... 
 
Any ideas why this happens? or how to work around it? Thanks in advance

    Hi @3ation 

     

    I guess since the text input is set to number only, this behavior happens.

    I found out that if you set it to text format, the issue disappears.

     

    So another way is make it into a text format and then when you are submitting the form, convert it into a number using Value() function.

    Hi Adrian,  Yes we tried that, but then the text box allows Characters!!! Then we end up in nightmare situation with the validation. And On Update....etc We will end up writing So much code, and repeat it for all the currency fields... just does not work 😞
