This feature uses JavaScript syntax
Text code javascript.gif

Overview

To convert a number from a formatted string (containing symbols like "$" or "%") to a number using JavaScript you can use a function called ssParseNum.

Syntax

ssParseNum( value, emptyok );

Where:

Parameter Description
value Required. Is the value to be converted to a number (i.e: $5,000.00 and 5,000% will be converted to 5000)
emptyok Optional. Is a true/false value
  • if emptyok is true - an empty string will be returned by ssParseNum if the value is empty
  • if emptyok is false - a "0" will be returned by ssParseNum if the value is empty

Examples

ssParseNum($5,000.50);

Will return: 5000.5


If you wish to display a ratio of two fields that are set to have currency formatting, you should convert the values to numbers using ssParseNum:

ssParseNum([field1])/ssParseNum([field2])

Requirements

This function is part of the sstools.js library and needs to be added to Browser Script custom fields or on template pages, sign-up pages etc. using the following syntax:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/sstools.js"></SCRIPT>

When Using "Show Currency Format in Edit Mode"

When using the "Show Currency Format in Edit Mode" setting for custom fields, the following syntax must be used:

ssParseNumFromCurrency(value,getLocalestrByCurrency(code),1,emptyok); (getLocalestrByCurrency will get the "default" locale of the currency code, e.g. CAD will result in en-CA, NOT fr-CA)

OR

ssParseNumFromCurrency(value,locale,1,emptyok);
(if you know the locale of the formatted currency, e.g. da-DK or fr-FR or fr-CA etc)

Where:

Parameter Description
value Required. Is the value to be converted to a number (i.e: $5,000.00 and 5,000 will be converted to 5000)
emptyok Optional. Is a true/false value
  • if emptyok is true - an empty string will be returned by if the value is empty
  • if emptyok is false - a "0" will be returned by if the value is empty
code Required. The three-letter currency code defined by ISO 4217. Example: JPY for Japanese Yen.

Example:

ssParseNumFromCurrency([YER Total revenue],getLocalestrByCurrency('CAD'),1,true) - ssParseNumFromCurrency([YER Total expenses],getLocalestrByCurrency('CAD'),1,true)
or
ssParseNumFromCurrency([YER Total revenue],'fr-CA',1,true) - ssParseNumFromCurrency([YER Total expenses],'fr-CA',1,true)
