European number format

Hello 

 

I have this measure in a card : 

 

Text invoice = "Please send your invoice of " & FORMAT([Total royalties], "###,###.00") & " € to royalties@mycompany.com".
This measure displays the following format :  1,465.78 €...  but I am looking for getting the european format : 1.465,78 €
 
I have already the regional parameters settled on French  (global and active file).
 
Any idea?
 
Thank you!
Raphaël

Try below workaround measure and let me know if that works

Text invoice =
VAR USFormatted = FORMAT([Total royalties], "###,###.00")
VAR Step1 = SUBSTITUTE(USFormatted, ",", "|") -- Replace ',' with a temporary character ('|')
VAR Step2 = SUBSTITUTE(Step1, ".", ",") -- Replace '.' with ','
VAR EuroFormatted = SUBSTITUTE(Step2, "|", ".") -- Replace the temporary character ('|') with '.'
RETURN
    "Please send your invoice of " & EuroFormatted & " € to royalties@mycompany.com"
