How to get Dollar Sign and Comma in Currency results

    I've attached a screen shot of an email automated from the form. As you can see some currency results have dollar signs while others do not, and none of the currency results have commas.

    When I'm doing a "Form Calculation" field, the Dollar Sign shows up because I enter the "$" symbol into the calculation as the first character.

    When I enter a number into number field, I do not get the "$" symbol in my results for emails and .pdf attachments.

    I also do not know how to get a comma into a currency result, in a "Form Calculation" field or a  regular number field.

    Please advise, as this would greatly enhance my form appears.

    The Safe Accountability field can be entered manually, it is also a number field so it does not allow a dollar symbol.

    However, for the Total Safe Count and Safe Over/Short fields, you can add a commaSeparate function to automatically separate every 3 digits with a comma. You only need to wrap the formula with this function.

    Example: $ commaSeparate(fieldA-fieldB)

    Here's how:

    You can do the same for all the total fields in your form.
