Format variable or text box as currency
April 5, 2021 12:00 AM
I'm trying to build a table from a group of text boxes that allows users to make different calculations about asset values. Ideally, the user chooses and asset from a drop down list and chooses a discount (as a %) to apply to the asset value. A text box then contains the discounted asset value.
The logic looks like this: Condo = $2,000,000 x 65% = $1,300,000
Lectora can multiply the numbers and set a variable equal to the product, but the result is 1300000.
Is there a way to format the variable or the text box to make a number a dollar amount?

Hello davidcm,
Have a look at NumeralJS (http://numeraljs.com/)
Globalize (https://github.com/globalizejs/globalize)... as you scroll down look for "Currency module"
That should get you started in the right direction

Thanks! Do you know of a video online that gives a quick explainer of using js with Lectora?
Thanks! I'll check it out. I appreciate the help.
