Is there an easy way, depending on the user's locale, to represent the curre

Hi,

Is there a formal solution to this issue? We have the same problem.

I see Euro() still returns the format like the US format - euro(3213.43) returns €3,213.43

When in Europe it should be different (use of . and , and the € at the end) - 3.213,43€

Thanks

Little update:
I am using now: substitute(fixed(ri!decimal,false()),",",".")&","&right(fixed(ri!decimal,2,true()),2)

Because the text() function doesn't round correctly.

Thanks, I am glad you have an easy workaround, but could you open a support case for this problem, please? Thanks again.

Hi Mike,
we have our System default set to German and my users default is set to German on top of this. I still see a decimal on a dashboard as "123.45". It's also using US format if I use the euro() function.
If I use the text() function it works though. So no big deal...

@Moritz, what do you mean by "this"? User's locale is applied to the appropriate data types (dates, decimals, etc.) on forms and dashboards. Maybe you have the "override users' locale" checkbox selected?

Got a nice JS to represent the money depending on user locale. :) Thanks.

This doesn't seem to work on a dashboard. What parts of Appian does this actually apply to?

Only if I wrap the decimal in a text() function it is being displayed correctly.

Just enabling additional locales will allow you to display the different formats depending on the user locale. No additional expressions necessary.
