Formatting Currency

Hello,

 

I have checked the boards and tried the samples, but for some reason when I used this bit of code to format my currency:

 

         <apex:outputText value="Rs{0,number, $###,##0.00}">
             <apex:param value="${!opp.Total_Referrals__c}"/>
         </apex:outputText>

 

I get this error:

 

Error: The value attribute on <apex:outputText> is not in a valid format. It must be a positive number, and of type Number, Date, Time, or Choice.

 

I'm clueless in what to do. I merely wish for a basic currency formatting technique. If you can offer any advice, I'd be appreciative.

Hello SFine 

  The reason for giving error incorrect usage of '$' symbol (<apex:param value="${!opp.Total_Referrals__c}"/>)

If you want to format currency and get output with Rs use following

 

 <apex:outputText value="Rs{0, number, ###,##0.00}">
   <apex:param value="{!opp.Total_Referrals__c}"/>
 </apex:outputText>

You can format the value in Apex controller class and then display on VF.
