displaying exact number with .00

[flybriguy]

I have a calculation field that will only display the final number in it's whole amount when there is only a whole amount. Is there a way for filemaker to display my muliplied amount to include .00? ie. $200.00

For now my calculation is as follows:

Total=

quantity * service rate

Enter layout mode, select the calculation field and choose Number... from the Format menu. You'll see tons of options for formatting numbers including the number of decimal points you want, currency and thousands separators.
