Alexandre TakacsSubject: formating a number like #'###.00

Hi

Probably an obvious one but I can't figure it out...

Is there a way to format a number with the #'###.00 pattern, i.e. 1234.55 -> 1'234.55 ?

Thanks

alex

You can use one of these first.

Then translate the , seperator for thousands into ' using the translate function.
