Usage considerations

Using the Swiss franc prefix symbol

The Swiss franc prefix symbol (CHF) is not shown by default. Use the showPrefixSymbol to add the symbol before the value. If no arguments are passed, the Swiss franc symbol itself is returned as text.

Using the decimals parameter

If no decimals value is passed, the function uses 2 by default.

Examples

a!swissFranc(3213.43) returns 3'213.43

a!swissFranc(number: 3213.43, showPrefixSymbol: 1) returns CHF 3'213.43
