Question

Mathcad Prime

Will the new Mathcad Prime coming in December be able to display results on the worksheet with comma delimiters? In other words, can the result one million be displayed as 1,000,000 instead of 1000000 as it is in previous versions of Mathcad?

It might lead to confusion, but won't comment.

My initial response is no.

I have the latest version of Prime Alpha and the formatting options seems to be:-

General

Decimal

Scientific

Engineering

Percent

And none of these options seems to yield the answer format you require.

Thank you Mike, even though it is not the answer I had been hoping for. I have been waiting 20 years for Mathcad to offer comma delimiters.

Thanks,

Chris

No problem - this can be done easy in Excel, so why couldn't this have implemented into Mathcad over the years???

I must use Excel here:

Good point.

The results could be passed to an Embedded Excel object and the required format achieved there.
