When I apply the format: FormatCurrency(Fields!Paid_Amount.Value) the value shows as -($293056). Another sample is -62.2400 which converts to -($626224).
It seems the leading digits are being repeated for some reason. I've tried playing with rounding, the optional tristate paramaters, and regional settings to get the correct output, but have had no luck. Can anyone be of assistance?Figured it out. Seems I have to use: "$#,###.##"|||Another way for formatting numeric values is to use .NET formatcodes in the "Format" property of the textbox (Note: the textbox value expression has to evaluate to a numeric value otherwise the format code has no effect).
The format code for currency would be: C
