Appendix: Built-in Scripting Language
The character used as the decimal mark, which separates the integer and fractional parts of the
numerical value.
This is an optional parameter; if no value is specified, then the default is a period (.). For
example: "123.45"
optStrThousandSep
The character used as the thousands separator, which separates the hundreds and thousands
digits of the numerical value.
This is an optional parameter; if no value is specified, then the default is a comma (,). For
example: "12,345"
Returned value
This function returns a string that contains the formatted numerical value.
Notes
Format is similar to the printf function in other programming languages, and it allows most of the same
formatting options. However, unlike printf, Format can be used to format only one numerical value at a
time.
This function is particularly useful for formatting values to be printed in reports.
