# Currency Format

### Overview

In legacy Construct, currency formatting was controlled via a property in the Number columns that set how currency values would be displayed.

Cloud Construct supports currency formatting through user’s locale settings and built-in number display properties on currency fields.

### Updated Methodology

#### Approach A: Configure Display Properties in a Number Field

Add a Number column input type and configure currency display properties directly:

1. Edit the required WebApp.
2. In the WebApp Builder, access the required page’s container fields and add a Number column input for the currency field from the dataset.
3. Access the Number field configuration properties and configure:
  - `displayThousandsSeparator` - Show/hide thousands separator. Formatting respects regional conventions such as comma `,` for USD and period `.` for Euros, as per user’s locale.
  - `decimalPlaces` - Number of decimal places; Usually 2 for currency.
  - `negativeFormat` - How to display negative amounts.
4. Save and Preview WebApp to test the formatting.

#### Approach B: Separate Currency and Value Fields

To avoid locale-based display inconsistencies, create two explicit fields in the view:

1. **Currency Field**: Display the currency code or symbol, Example values: "USD", "GBP", "EUR", "$", "£", "€".
  - This remains constant regardless of user's locale
  - Stored explicitly in database (not calculated)
2. **Value Field**: Display the numeric amount. Example: 1234.56.
  - Separate from currency symbol
  - Use standard number formatting

This approach provides consistent display across all users regardless of their profile locale.
