Displaying commas in numerical calculations made via SSI script

Question

Hi...

In my survey I am calculating a final price of a service using SSI script e.g.

 Price $[%Q1 x 1000%]

and the result can be in the tens of thousands. Is it possible to some-how format the answer to include commas. So $10000 becomes $10,000?

If not, how would you tackle it? Could this be better achieved using javascript for example?

Many thanks

I would use the FORMATNUMBER function from SSI Script. You can find it in the help file under "Composing Surveys > SSI Script > Functions > Math Functions.
