You want to display the numerical data as currency.
To display a currency sign by the numeric value, use format: "currency(<currency symbol>)"; with type: number;. Be sure to save your Klip file in the encoding that supports the currency character.
For example, the first column of this Klip uses the style settings below:
<style>
item {
type: item;
definition: all;
}
dollar {
type: number;
itemcol: 1;
format: "currency($)";
formula: sum;
}
</style>(formula: sum; is used in this example to demonstrate that the currency symbol is also displayed for the results. The formula property is not necessary in order to use format: "currency(<currency symbol>)".)
For some currencies, you may also like to include decimal points, as shown in the second column above. For this, simply add decimal(x) to the format property, where x is the number of decimal points you want to display. Note that no spaces should be included for format values:
format: "currency($),decimal(2)";
