right justify left zero fill

I have to build a text file with a dollar amount that must be right
justified, left zero filled and no decimal. The field I am extracting data
from is 'amount' and defined as decimal 9(15,2).

Hi Stan,
You can use the following expression:
RIGHT(REPLICATE('0', 11) + LTRIM(CAST(YourColumn * 100 AS INT)), 11)

If you don't mind, I have a variation on the last question. I have the same
type field (decimal 9(15,2)) and the recipient of a conversion .txt file want
to see just the meaningful digits, no decimals, no zero fill but does want to
see a trailing minus sign for negative numbers. So they want to see 550.45
as 55045 and -45.25 as 4525-.
Should I be sending things like this or should I do a re-post?
Thanks for understanding.

Hi Stan,
Sending like this is fine, though a repost might attract more eyes.
Generally, if the subject really changes, post a new message. If it's a
variation on the question, use a reply.
I see that Steve has already answered the question. I trust that his
reply is what you wanted.
Best, Hugo

Right Align Dollar Signs

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know where I can go to get the format to make

$ right align + =Sum(Fields!Blah.Blah) as #,###.00?

||

|$ 23.00|

|$ 1,000.00|

||

I can not figure out how to get the dollars to right align like Excel ?

Please point me to the answer or a previous post that answers this...

Make two separate columns. The first column can have dollar signs and then make the right column right aligned with the number formating of N (Right click on the cell, go to properties. Click on the format tab and type "N" in Format Code)
|||Is this to apply to a Matrix?|||Thanks for the quick answer....Hope next version has a better solution...
