That certainly looks wrong.
What you should see is something more like what Graham suggested:
{={Mergefield 08APRGP} * 12 \# "$,0.00"}
What do you get if you just have
{Mergefield 08APRGP}

Hi Graham,
I don't know if this helps but when I toggle field codes it returns the
following:
{ = *12\#"$,0.00"}{=*12\#",0.00"}
Thanks

You need to insert the field not just its name eg
{={Mergefield 08APRGP} * 12 \# "$,0.00"}
and the field 08APRGP must actually contain a number.

Hello,
I'm trying to do a Merge and one of the fields in the merge I need to
multiply by 12. I was using just a simple formula: {=08APRGP*12
\#"$#,##0.00"}
And I'm getting a syntax error. Does anyone know a solution or the
issue to the formula?
Tank you!
