Is there a way using String Formatter I can achieve the following:
$52,152 to $52.1
I have a series of values that are all thousands and I will like to display them in the above format.
Thanks
This works for $52.2, using the , number scaling specifier:
string.Format("{0:$0,.0}", 52152);
If you really want 52.1, you’ll probably have to do it “manually”; sorry. All custom formatting strings seem to round.
In your case the non-formatted versions of your 2 numbers are inherently different
52152 != 52.1
A better solution might be to send the correct numbers to the UI but if not, you can use the , scaling specifier - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx#SpecifierTh
void Main()
{
decimal x = 52152M;
var a = string.Format("{0:C}", x); //Current Format in Local Culture
Console.WriteLine(a); //Prints €52,152.00
var b = string.Format("${0:00000}", x); //Custom Format, no decimals
Console.WriteLine(b);//Prints $52152
var c = string.Format("${0:###,###,###}", x); //Custom Format, no decimals + 1000 seperators
Console.WriteLine(c);//Prints $52,152
var d = string.Format("${0:###,###,.0}", x); //Custom Format, 1 decimal place, 1000 seperators to support values over 1 million
Console.WriteLine(d);//Prints $52.2
}
Something like this?
string input = "$52,152";
var number = long.Parse(input, NumberStyles.Currency);
string result = (number / 100L / 10m).ToString("C1");
Explanation. First division is an integer division that truncates. Second division is a System.Decimal division.
This assumes a culture (for example new CultureInfo("en-US")) where the currency sign is "$" and the thousands separator is ",".

So this is a bit of a picky question. I have looked around for similar questions, but couldn't find one that specifically answers my question.
I'm making a winforms app that gets data from, among other things, numeric updowns and places them in Word docvariables. The numeric updowns have a precision of 4 decimal places, because there are some prices like €0,0125 for example printing contracts. But other prices will get saved as for example €12,5000. I currently fix the numbers with 2 decimal places like this:
string value = type.GetValue().ToString().Trim(new char[] { '\'' });
//Changes commas for European standard and removes the excess zeros after the comma.
if (type.GetType().ToString().EndsWith("Decimal"))
{
string s;
string sep = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator;
if (sep == ".")
s = double.Parse(value).ToString("n2").Replace('.', ',');
else
s = double.Parse(value).ToString("n2");
wordDoc.Variables[type.GetName()].Value = s;
}
else
wordDoc.Variables[type.GetName()].Value = value;
But I can't seem to figure out how to detect when a decimal shouldn't get trimmed. I don't necessarily need code examples, if someone just could send me on the right track, that would be a major help.
NB: Changing the precision of the numeric up downs isn't really an option since they get created dynamically by a method.
Just use a custom format string - #,##0.00## will show a minimum of 2 d.p. and a maximum of 4 d.p.
decimal x = 12.50000m;
decimal y = 0.0125m;
string sx = x.ToString("#,##0.00##"); // "12.50"
string sy = y.ToString("#,##0.00##"); // "0.125"
If you want a comma decimal separator, then either use an appropriate CultureInfo or create a NumberFormatInfo with the correct properties:
var nfi = new NumberFormatInfo
{
NumberDecimalSeparator = ",",
NumberGroupSeparator = ".",
};
string s = 1234.56m.ToString("#,##0.00##", nfi); // "1.234,56"
I am currently displaying a number that is being rounded to 3 decimal places e.g. 0.31, using Math.Pow, the only problem is I want to display this number to say 0.310 (for styling purposes) does anyone know if this is possible?
The Fixed-Point Format Specifier can be used in a call to ToString or in string.Format:
double x = 1493.1987;
string s1 = x.ToString("F3");
string s2 = string.Format("Your total is {0:F3}, have a nice day.", x);
// s1 is "1493.199"
// s2 is "Your total is 1493.199, have a nice day."
Note that the Fixed-Point Format Specifier will always show the number of decimal digits you specify. For example:
double y = 1493;
string s3 = y.ToString("F3");
// s3 is "1493.000"
Use the format in the toString
double pi = 3.1415927;
string output = pi.ToString("#.000");
Here is an updated example that also works w/o having to call .ToString():
float a = 12.3578f;
double b = 12.3578d;
Console.WriteLine("The tolerance specs are: {0:F4} and: {1:F3}", a,b);
ANSWER: The tolerance specs are: 12.3578 and: 12.358
I would like to round a number to 2 decimal places but also keep the trailing 2 zeros so for example 425.1382 to 425.1400
I've tried below examples but it doesn't seem to work
var amount = Math.Round((value * rate), 4);
profit = Decimal.Parse(amount.ToString("0.####"));
or
var amount = Math.Round((value * rate), 4);
profit = Decimal.Parse(amount.ToString("0.##00"));
When you convert to a numeric type you give up all unnecessary digits. You need to convert the Decimal to a String before displaying.
The _invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount = Decimal.Parse(profitAmount.ToString("0.####")) line is returning a decimal. Decimal does keep all zeroes, the problem is 100% in where are you printing the value.
If you are trying to write this in Console
Console.Writeline("{0:F4}", _invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount);
where {0:F4} means "Format as fixed-point", with four numbers after point. Of course, you can use this anywhere by using string.Format.
var _profitAmount = Math.Round((saleMarginValue * exchangeRate), 4);
_invoicingCurrencyProfitAmount = Decimal.Parse(profitAmount.ToString().PadRight(2,'0'));
var d = 425.1382.ToString("0.##") + "00"; // "425.1400"
So I'm learning and practicing WP7 application development.
I'm working with integers (currency), and it seems to always display four integers after the decimal place. I'm trying to cut it down to just either ONE or TWO decimal places.
I've been trying to use the "my variable.ToString("C2")" (C for Currency, 2 for number of ints after the decimal)
I'm probably missing something obvious, but please help
decimal number = new decimal(1000.12345678);
string text = number.ToString("#.##");
Output:
1000,12
An other way:
NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo();
nfi.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 2;
decimal val = new decimal(1000.12345678);
string text = val.ToString("c", nfi);
When formatting a currency, NumberFormatInfo allows specifying following properties as well:
CurrencyDecimalDigits
CurrencyDecimalSeparator
CurrencyGroupSeparator
CurrencyGroupSizes
CurrencyNegativePattern
CurrencyPositivePattern
CurrencySymbol
See Custom Numeric Format Strings on MSDN for more examples
The "C" format string defines the currency specifier as described on MSDN. This will include the currency symbol for the current culture, or for a specific culture if supplied, e.g.
double amount = 1234.5678;
string formatted = amount.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"));
// This gives $1234.56
In your case, it seems that you have a limited set of currency symbols that you support, so I would suggest using the fixed point format specifier "F" instead. By default this will give you 2 decimal points, but you can specify a number to vary this, e.g.
double amount = 1234.5678;
string formatted = amount.ToString("F");
// This gives 1234.56
formatted = amount.ToString("F3");
// This gives 1234.567
Using the fixed point specifier will give you control over the number of decimal points and enable you to concatenate the currency symbol.
The only thing I would add to "sll" answer is to pay attention on Culture (they often forget to mantion this), like this (example)
string text = val.ToString("#.##", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
double total = 526.4134
string moneyValue = total.ToString("c");
This will display it in this format: $#.##
I am getting the output as 756.4 but this is equal to 756.40 i know that but still i would like to save it as 756.40 so how can i convert that to the required one
Forgot to mention my totalamount is declared as float
Amount[index] //In this amount is declared as arraylist
totalAmount += float.Parse(Amount[index].ToString());
Here after all additons done after the loop i would like to get the required one
A sample code of conversion
if (totalAmount.ToString().Contains("."))
{
string[] b = totalAmount.ToString().Split('.');
Dollars = b[0].ToString().PadLeft(10, (char)48);
cents = b[1].ToString().PadRight(2, (char)48).Substring(0, 2);
}
else
{
Dollars = totalAmount.ToString().PadLeft(10, (char)48);
cents = "00";
}
FormattedTotalAmounts = Dollars + cents; // Here i am getting the output as i said
string totalAmountFormatted = totalAmount.ToString("F2");
This formats the total amount as a fixed-point number (F) with two decimal places (2). For details about these format strings, see the following two MSDN articles:
Standard Numeric Format Strings
Custom Numeric Format Strings
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 756.4);
In your code change this
if (totalAmount.ToString().Contains("."))
{
string[] b = totalAmount.ToString().Split('.');
Dollars = b[0].ToString().PadLeft(10, (char)48);
cents = b[1].ToString().PadRight(2, (char)48).Substring(0, 2);
}
else
{
Dollars = totalAmount.ToString("F2").PadLeft(10, (char)48);//Necessary change
cents = "00";
}
FormattedTotalAmounts = Dollars + cents;
Try this:
decimal t = 756.40m;
MessageBox.Show(t.ToString("0.00"));
you can use numberformat in your ToString like
SomeVar.ToString("#,##0.00")
First, I think you should probably be using Decimal if this is financial data.
Second, numeric values don't have trailing spaces, strings do.
EDIT: C# 2.0 tag added - LINQ removed.
Decimal total;
foreach (object oAmount in Amount)
{
Decimal amount = (Decimal)oAmount;
total += amount;
}
String FormattedTotalAmounts = total.ToString("G");
passing "F" to ToString will work equally well.
EDIT responding to comment.
String FormattedTotalAmounts = total.ToString("0000000000.00");
gives 10 0's on the left and 2 0's on the right.
