FORMAT

Syntax

FORMAT(num, decimal_position[, locale])

Description

Formats the given number for display as a string, adding separators to appropriate position and rounding the results to the given decimal position. For instance, it would format 15233.345 to 15,233.35.

If the given decimal position is 0, it rounds to return no decimal point or fractional part. You can optionally specify a locale value to format numbers to the pattern appropriate for the given region.
