How are you inputting the commas, what formula are you using?

 

I suggest using the tostring() formula. If you use the following expression, it should give you what you're looking for. The 0 placeholder is for the decimals shown, the 1 signifies to add commas.

 

ToString([Field1],0,1)

Hi ,

 

Thanks for the response. 

 

If i apply below formula on numeric field it returns error : 

 

Field is numeric but string is returned. 

 

Do i need to create new field and try it . Then in such case it's a lot many fields.

 

Thanks
