I'd like to change my large numbers from 100,000 to $100K if this is possible.
This is what I have so far:
let valueFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
valueFormatter.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
valueFormatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
valueFormatter.maximumFractionDigits = 0
Using NSNumberFormatter, how can I output $100K rather than $100,000?
My original question:
This is what I have so far:
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.maximumFractionDigits = 0
Which Translates to:
let valueFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
valueFormatter.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
valueFormatter.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
valueFormatter.maximumFractionDigits = 0
My output looks like this:

update:
I wanted to provide context as to whats going on, watch comments.
func setDollarsData(months: [String], range: Double) {
var dataSets: [LineChartDataSet] = [LineChartDataSet]()
var yVals: [ChartDataEntry] = [ChartDataEntry]()
for var i = 0; i < months.count; i++ {
// I'm adding my values here in value:, value takes a Double
yVals.append(ChartDataEntry(value: county[userFavs[0]]![i], xIndex: i))
}
let set1: LineChartDataSet = LineChartDataSet(yVals: yVals, label: self.userFavs[0])
set1.axisDependency = .Left
set1.setColor(UIColor.redColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5))
set1.setCircleColor(UIColor.redColor())
set1.lineWidth = 2.0
set1.circleRadius = 6.0
set1.fillAlpha = 65 / 255.0
dataSets.append(set1)
let data: LineChartData = LineChartData(xVals: months, dataSets: dataSets)
data.setValueTextColor(UIColor.whiteColor())
// this is where I set the number formatter
self.lineChartView.gridBackgroundColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.startAtZeroEnabled = false
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.numberStyle = .CurrencyStyle
self.lineChartView.leftAxis.valueFormatter?.maximumFractionDigits = 0
// set it to the chart // END OF THE LINE
self.lineChartView.data = data // outputs to my chart
}
As you can see, once I dump the numbers into yVals, I lose access to them so those extensions will only work if I hack into the framework.
edit/update
Swift 5.1 or later
extension FloatingPoint where Self: CVarArg {
var kFormatted: String {
String(
format: self >= 1000 ? "$%.0fK" : "$%.0f",
self >= 1000 ? self/1000 : self
)
}
}
The you can use it like this to format your output:
10.0.kFormatted // "$10"
100.0.kFormatted // "$100"
1000.0.kFormatted // "$1K"
10000.0.kFormatted // "$10K"
162000.0.kFormatted // "$162K"
153000.0.kFormatted // "$153K"
144000.0.kFormatted // "$144K"
135000.0.kFormatted // "$135K"
126000.0.kFormatted // "$126K"
