Rounding off to 2 decimals

Hi,

Could someone help me on how to modify this code so that the result would have 2 decimal places. tried changing the last part to: event.value="Php "+util.printf("%,0.2f", event.value), but didn't work.

Here's the script I used in custom format.

var x = event.value;
var n = x.toString().split(".");
n[0] = n[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
if(event.value == 0) event.value = "";
else event.value = "Php "+ n.join(".");

 

Hope someone could help. Thank you.

Hello,

Already found the solution which worked for me. I removed the other code, which maybe the reason for util.printf not working.

Here's the code:

if(event.value == 0) event.value = "";
else event.value="Php "+util.printf("%,0.2f", event.value);

 

Thank you.

How exactly is the util.printf code not working?  There is nothing wrong with it.

did you look in the console window for reported errors?

 

The other code that doe the split does not round. So it is incorrect for your stated purpose.

    Well of course, you can't have to scripts competing for the same task. 

    That's an important programming lesson.
