NumberFormat
This function formats a number in a defined pattern. The NumberFormat class is used to format numbers according to a specific Locale. Different countries have different standards for how they format numbers.
Format: NumberFormat(numberToformat, outputFormat, language, countryCode, groupingSeparator, decimalSeparator)
Note that language, countryCode, groupingSeparator and decimalSeparator are optional.
Examples
Case 1
If you are giving the locale, then the number format will work only for the symbols of that particular locale.
Example: {NumberFormat(12333456.7847, "##,#####.####", "en", "US")}
Output – 123,33456.7847
Case 2
If you are not providing the locale, default locale will be en-IN. Number will be formatted as per the locale’s symbols.
Example: {NumberFormat("324567.89", "PLN ###,###.##")}
Output – PLN 324,567.89
Case 3
If you want to have space as a separator in your output format, you will have to explicitly give it as a parameter.
Example: {NumberFormat("345126.7847", "## ###,####", "bg", "BG", " ")}
Output – 345 126,7847
Case 4
If you want to specify your own symbols in outputFormat, don’t provide the locale. Instead, you should mention the separator symbols as parameters to the method.
Example 1:{NumberFormat("324567.89", "PLN ### ###,##", null, null, " ", ",")}
Output – PLN324 567,89
Example 2: {NumberFormat("12333456.7847", "##,###/####", "fa", "IR", ",", "/")}
Output – 12,333,456/7847
In addition, if you need to provide a decimal in the number to be formatted, if there is no decimal in numberToformat then the output will format only the integer part.
Example 3: {NumberFormat(12337847, "##,#####.####", "en", "US")}
Output – 123,37847
