How do I get commas to appear in Math functions that result in more than 999? And how about $s when working w/ money?

Questions about Thunkable

I’m trying to get both commas and $s to appear for monetary figures, as my users will be calculating billions of dollars.

And I’d also like to know how to allow my users to use commas when inputting figures larger than 999, as I only get accurate calculations so long as no commas are used in the input fields.

Help! Thanks!
Chris

Hey, Ioannis.

So WOW, that’s a lot of steps. Okay. Quick question below.

So my user pastes a few numbers - complete with commas - into my input fields, and these are the blocks I need to calculate, add commas to the final math solution, complete with a $ symbol?

Or do I need to omit some of what I see on this image?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for that, Ioannis. But in the app I’m building, the solution appears in a new field below after the user has inputted a few numbers and pressed a button marked Calculate.

The link you gave me performs a function similar to mine, but not quite the same.
