money representation in R
currency, r
Solution
The scales package has a function for this: dollar_format()
install.packages("scales")
library(scales)
muchoBucks <- 15558.5985121
dollar_format()(muchoBucks)
[1] "$15,558.60"
Problem
I would like to know how can I work with money with R. It means, do arithmetic, print well formatted numbers and etc. For example I have some values ``` 1.222.333,37 1.223.444,88 ``` I could translate it to numeric and round it, removing the cents, but there isn't a better pattern to work with? I did try the format method, something like: ``` format(141103177058,digits=3,small.interval=3,decimal.mark='.',small.mark=',') ``` but without success. any tip or ideas?
