<$>Currency Function |
|
|
If you wish your replacement text to include a currency equivalent of the Arabic numeral, precede or follow the number with
| • | <$> (for just formatting to a dollar value style) or |
| • | <$$> (for both short and spelled out versions of the dollar amount). |
If <$$> is placed to the left of the number, the 'spelled-out' amount is the 'primary' value, and the formatted $number appears in parentheses. If <$$> is placed at the end of the number, the formatted $number is the primary value, and the 'spelled-out' amount appears in parenthesis.
Examples:
Variable (in document and Replacement Text
on left side of IDB Screen) __________(right side of IDB Screen)
[Total Cost] |
65344<$$> |
[Price Quoted] |
<$$>65344 |
Results:
The total cost of the project will be [Total Cost]. |
will become:
The total cost of the project will be $65,344.00 (Sixty five thousand, three hundred forty-four and 00/100 Dollars). |
We are pleased to offer to perform the work for [Price Quoted]. (document text) |
will become:
We are pleased to offer to perform the work for Sixty-five thousand, three hundred forty-four and 00/100 Dollars ($65,344.00) |
You can 'pre-place' the <$> or <$$> markers in your source documents. (Indeed, you are more likely to do this than manually type the markers into your Instant Database screen.) Just place the markers to the immediate left or right of the actual variable in the source text
Example:
Document text:
The total cost of the project will be [Total Cost]<$$>. |
If, when you display the IDB screen and type in 65344 beside the variable [quantity], the text will become:
The total cost of the project will be $65,344.00 (Sixty five thousand, three hundred forty-four and 00/100 Dollars). |
