Regex for numerical value formatting

Hi there,

 

I have a column (string) with various types of data, including text and numerical values. I am hoping to format the numerical values as follows - 12345.6789 to $12,345.68 - but haven't been able to get a regular expression working. I've included a sample of the values, before and after, below.

 

Can anyone help with creating an expression that would achieve this?

 

Thanks for your help!

Thank you very much for this! I tried it out and it is working.

 

Do you know of a way to add the thousands delimiter/comma to this formatting as well?

@jl4357 @Update the toString function by adding 1 after the 0.01 argument 

 

eg:

 

ToString([Field], 2,1)
