Currency format

When a schedule is initially created and saved, the currency and number formats (based on Regional and Language Options) are saved and carried with the schedule. Thus, if values are originally set to display as dollars with a comma as the grouping symbol, then they will continue to display as such, even if the schedule is displayed on a system where the default currency and separator are different.

For example, if a Milestones user in the UK who is using pounds for currency sends a Milestones schedule to someone in the United States who is using dollars for currency, then the Milestones schedule will retain the pounds setting.

Display the currency symbol with a column's values:

Select the column in which the values will be displayed as currency. This will display the Selection menu for that column.
In the Column Type and Format section, check Currency.

Change the currency symbol, grouping symbol, and other currency formats in a schedule:

Choose Format | International | International, Number, and Currency Settings | Currency Format.
Select from the display settings options:
1. Currency Symbol, enter up to four characters (e.g. $)
2. Positive Currency Format
3. Negative Currency Format
4. Decimal Symbol
5. Digit grouping symbol
6. Digit grouping

Change the number of decimal places displayed in a column:

Select the column in which the values with decimals will be displayed.
In the Column Type and Format section, choose a number from the drop-down menu under Decimal Places:

Change the number of decimal places displayed for a ValueSet's values

Choose Tools | Graph Options | Setup ValueSets.
Click the Create/Edit button for the appropriate ValueSet.
Select the Graphic Properties tab.
Next to Number of Decimals to Display, select a number from 0 to 6.

In the Currency Format dialog box, the Positive Currency Format and Negative Currency Format options show the $ symbol in the examples, yet will use the Currency Symbol entry when applied to the schedule.
