Formatting Currency
The Financial Toolbox provides several functions to format currency and chart financial data. The currency formatting functions are
cur2frac
|
Converts decimal currency values to fractional values
|
cur2str
|
Converts a value to Financial Toolbox bank format
|
frac2cur
|
Converts fractional currency values to decimal values
|
These examples show their use.
Dec = frac2cur('12.1', 8)
returns Dec = 12.125
, which is the decimal equivalent of 12-1/8. The second input variable is the denominator of the fraction.
Str = cur2str(-8264, 2)
returns the string ($8264.00)
. For this toolbox function, the output format is a numerical format with dollar sign prefix, two decimal places, and negative numbers in parentheses; e.g., ($123.45)
and $6789.01
. The standard MATLAB bank format uses two decimal places, no dollar sign, and a minus sign for negative numbers; e.g., -123.45
and 6789.01
.
