Strings 51<br />
A , represents the character that the operating system uses for a thousands separator, and<br />
the # stands for a digit or place that is only displayed if it is required by the input string.<br />
MyFormat = "#,##0.00"<br />
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1.579,80"<br />
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1.579,80"<br />
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,40"<br />
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,43"<br />
In place of the $ place holder, the Format function displays the relevant currency symbol<br />
defined by the system (this example assumes a European locale has been defined):<br />
MyFormat = "#,##0.00 $"<br />
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1.579,80<br />
€"<br />
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1.579,80<br />
€"<br />
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,40 €"<br />
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,43 €"<br />
The format instructions used in VBA for formatting date and time details can also be used:<br />
sub main<br />
dim myDate as date<br />
myDate = "01/06/98"<br />
TestStr = Format(myDate, "mm-dd-yyyy") ' 01-06-1998<br />
MsgBox TestStr<br />
end sub<br />
