hi....

The code is about place the comma's (,) i.e separator between numbers
in this format (12,21,21,123) it works good..

but when there's a decimal point such as 12345.58 it will show as 12,346..
it will round up the values.. ( which i dont want that .. i want as it value to be printed )

and one more problem if there five digit with two decimal i.e(12345.00) it will show correct
i.e (12,345.00) but if i there four digit with two decimal i.e(1234.00 ) it will show this #error

[code]

VB

Public Function FormatIndian(ByVal Amount As decimal) As String  
Dim strAmount As String
Dim strGrpsArr() As String
Dim lngPos As Long
Dim lngIndex As Long

   strAmount = Format$(Amount, "#")
   If Len(strAmount) < 4 Then
      FormatIndian = strAmount
   Else
      lngIndex = (Len(strAmount) - 2) \ 2
      ReDim strGrpsArr(lngIndex)
     
      strGrpsArr(lngIndex) = Mid$(strAmount, Len(strAmount) - 2)
     
      lngPos = Len(strAmount) - 4:  lngIndex = lngIndex - 1
      Do
         strGrpsArr(lngIndex) = Mid$(strAmount, lngPos, 2)
         lngPos = lngPos - 2:       lngIndex = lngIndex - 1
         If lngPos = 0 Then strGrpsArr(0) = Left$(strAmount, 1)
      Loop Until lngPos <= 0
     
      FormatIndian = Join(strGrpsArr, ",")
      Erase strGrpsArr
   End If
        Return  FormatIndian 
End Function

Hi,

This method could be helpful for you in acheiving your task:

C#

static string FormatToIndianNotation(decimal amount)
        {
            string strAmount = amount.ToString();
            string amountInIndianNotation = "";
            string fraction = "";
            if (strAmount.Contains("."))
            {
                fraction = strAmount.Split('.')[1];
                strAmount = strAmount.Split('.')[0];
            }
            if (strAmount.Length >= 3)
            {
                amountInIndianNotation = strAmount.Substring(strAmount.Length - 3);
                strAmount = strAmount.Remove(strAmount.Length - 3);
            }
            while(strAmount.Length!=0)
            {
                if (strAmount.Length <= 2)
                {
                    if (amountInIndianNotation.Length != 0)
                        amountInIndianNotation = strAmount + "," + amountInIndianNotation;
                    else
                        amountInIndianNotation = strAmount;
                    strAmount = "";
                }
                else
                {
                    amountInIndianNotation = strAmount.Substring(strAmount.Length - 2) + "," + amountInIndianNotation;
                    strAmount = strAmount.Remove(strAmount.Length - 2);
                }
            }
            return amountInIndianNotation + "." + fraction;
        }

Thanks,

Solution 1

Hi
I think we can use globalization features

VB

' For globalization
Imports System.Globalization

' For Indian currency format
Dim ci As New CultureInfo( "en-in" )
Dim someRealValue As Double = 1234.567
Dim currencyFormat As String
currencyFormat = someRealValue.ToString( "C", ci );
