number layout to text

Is there a way to convert a number field to a text field with the numbers layout?

Example:

input =500

fieldlayout as number = $500.00

second field as editable text must be the same as $500.00 and not 500

No. Generally the data is entered as a number then displayed as currency, percentage etc. Lots of things work this way: spreadsheets, databases etc.

Why couldn't you just create a calculated field? There are functions that convert numbers to text. Then just add a "$" to it.
