Currency
JMP displays numbers as currency using the Format() function, which uses the following syntax:
Format(x,"Currency", , );
Where:
• x is a column or a number
• "currency code" is an International Standards Organization (ISO) 4217 code
• decimal is the number of decimal places
To illustrate the Format function:
Format(12345.6, "Currency", "GBP", 3);
"£12,345.600"
If you do not specify the currency code, the currency symbol is based on the computer’s operating system
locale. For example, running the following script in a Japanese operating system formats the number with
the yen symbol.
Format(12345.6, "Currency", 3);
"¥12,345.600"
If the currency code is not supported by JMP, the currency code string appears before the number.
Format(12345.6, "Currency", "BBD", 3);
"BBD 12,345.600"
Table 6.5 lists the currencies supported in JMP.
