Dear All,
I have data like this. Additional paid-in capital 1 722 286 1 630 394 Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (890 446) 239 041 Retained earnings 40 026 498 40 611 396 ----------- Can you please tell me how I replace the spaces in amounts with comma without replace effecting in descriptions. Only comma should come in amounts only not in descriptions. I data should like this: Additional paid-in capital 1,722,286 1,630,394 Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (890,446) 239,041 Retained earnings 40,026,498 40,611,396 Thank You Narendra |
