Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Experimenting with Formula Cards, I have my currency symbol "£" turned on in settings.

When I create a formula e.g. =sum (1, 2, 3) the result is £6. Is there a way to have an option to format the result e.g. Integer, Real, Currency, percent.

I am trying to create a formula card to display credit utilisation and the result of £51 instead of 51% just looks wrong. Even if displays as 51 - I can use CONCATINATE() and TEXT() to format the card

A dropdown menu with options like Int (1), Real (1.0), Currancy (£1.00), Percent (1%) etc
