formatting a variable
Use the Format() function
Format(varName,"$#,##0.00") or Format(varName,"#,##0.00") The # symbol in the mask meansif there's a value at this position, display/print it, otherwise leave blank, while the 0 in the format mask means if there is no value at this position, place as 0. -- Kevin Backmann "dstiefe" wrote: Is there anyway to formatt a variable? so instead of seeing: x = 10000 the variable ='s x = 10,000 Thank you |

formatting a variable
The parenthesis are needed when there is a condition involved. i.e. x =
format(x,"$#,##0.00"). -- JNW "dstiefe" wrote: I'm getting a compile error when I use the ( )?
