DOLLAR function

PRO

The DOLLAR function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro allows you to convert any given number into a text, but in a specific currency format. You can also specify the number of decimal places as per your needs. This is particularly useful when you want your numerical data to be represented in monetary terms for easy understanding and comparison. With this function, you can ensure consistency and accuracy in financial data representation across your spreadsheet.

Documentation

Converts a number to text using currency format with the specified number of decimal places.

Syntax

DOLLAR(num, [decimals])

Parameter	Description
`num`	The number you want to format as currency.
`decimals`	Optional. The number of decimal places to display in the result. If omitted, assumes a default of 2 decimal places.

Behavior

The DOLLAR function is used to convert a numerical value into text that represents a currency amount. Here's how it handles different types of inputs:

Numbers: The DOLLAR function correctly converts numerical values into a currency format.
Text: If the input is text that can't be interpreted as a number, the DOLLAR function returns a #VALUE! error.
Booleans: If the input is a boolean value (TRUE or FALSE), the DOLLAR function converts it into a numerical value. TRUE becomes 1 and FALSE becomes 0. The DOLLAR function then converts these numbers into currency amounts.
Empty cells: If the referenced cell is empty, the DOLLAR function treats it as zero and returns $0.00.
Errors: If the input is an error or refers to a cell containing an error, the DOLLAR function returns that error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs when the input value cannot be interpreted as a numerical value. For instance, if the input is a text string that doesn't represent a number.
#NUM!	This error occurs when the decimal places argument is less than 0 or greater than 255.

Best practices

It's important to ensure that the input given to the DOLLAR function is numerical, or can be interpreted as a numerical value, to avoid a #VALUE! error.

Be mindful of the second argument (decimal places) with the DOLLAR function. It should be within the range of 0 to 255. Providing a value outside this range will result in a #NUM! error.

While the DOLLAR function can handle booleans, it's generally best not to use them as input. This is because it can lead to confusion as TRUE is interpreted as 1 and FALSE as 0.

Remember that the DOLLAR function returns a text string. This means you can't use the output in further numerical calculations.

Usage

A few examples using the DOLLAR function.

DOLLAR(1234.5678)
// Returns: "$1,234.57"
// Explanation: Rounds to two decimal places (default)

DOLLAR(9876.54321, 3)
// Returns: "$9,876.543"
// Explanation: Formats number with three decimal places

DOLLAR(B2, 0)
// Returns currency format of B2 with no decimals
// Example: If B2 = 4500 → "$4,500"
