Currency symbol in a straight table not appearing

[rakesh_kumar]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a currency symbol in an expression in the straight table below:

I am using the following expressions:

Spend

=Money($(=Field_name), Metric_format)

QTD Accumulation

=if(isnull(YearWeek), null(), Money(rangesum(above($(=Field_name),0,rowno())),Metric_format,'.',','))

Here is the table containing, Metric and Metric format values in the data model:

The problem here is, "Spend" is working correctly by showing the '$' symbol, where as "QTD Accumulation" is not showing the '$' symbol.

How can the expression for "QTD Accumulation" needs to be changed to show '$' symbol for the values in the straight table?

What is the MoneyFormat set at script?

SET MoneyFormat='$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00';

Manish, he tries to use the format specification that is stored in field Metric_format. For expression "Spend" it works, for "QTD accumulation" it does not.

Rakesh, are you sure this expression is what is used in column "QTD accumulation"? Because the numbers don't seem to add up after the first month...

Hi Manish, as Peter said I used the format in the table in data model above.

Yes Peter this is the expression. Yeah there might be some problem with the values, but main objective is to get the dollar symbol for the values. Please could you guys let me know how to achieve this?

Can you post a small Qlikview document that demonstrates the problem?

[Peter_Cammaert]

Any change if you omit the separators part ('.',',') from the Money parameter list? Are the settings in the Number tab the same for each expression?

Please find the attached App. Please can anyone help fixing the issue?

Hi Rakesh, PFA.

Check the expression and number tabs (I set the format to 'prefedefined expression' in numbers tab)

See attached qvw.

Thanks a lot Ruben & Gysbert, both your solutions are working. If there is an option I would have selected both of your answers as correct
