  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let ( [ @Value = Case ( ValueText = "" or ValueText = 0 ; "0.00" ; ValueText ) ; @Value = Round ( @Value ; 2 ) ; @Value = Case ( not PatternCount ( @Value ; "." ) ; @Value & ".00" ; @Value ) ; @Length = Length ( @Value ) ; @Pos = Position ( @Value ; "." ; 1 ; 1 ) ; @Left = Left ( @Value ; @Pos -1 ) ; @Right = Right ( @Value ; @Length - @Pos ) ; @Right = Left ( @Right & "000" ; 2 ) ] ; "$" & @Left & "." & @Right ) Click to copy

When you need to display a number as text, you will lose the ability to format for currency. This will let you maintain the formatting.

If referencing a whole number, ".00" will be added. If only 1 decimal, "0" will be added to the end. Also, the dollar sign will be added by default. (Can easily be modified to accommodate any currency symbol.)
