i have a simple query where I make the sum of multiple colums... However I want to format my result to $999,999,999.99. How can I do this...

this is my query.


SELECT SUM ("JUN_F1"."Renta"+"JUN_F1"."Servicios"+
"JUN_F1"."TAN"+"JUN_F1"."LDN"+"JUN_F1"."TARN"+"JUN_F1"."LDRN"+
"JUN_F1"."TARI"+"JUN_F1"."LDRI"+"JUN_F1"."Paquete_RI") AS Amount
FROM 
  public."JUN_F1";

This is a presentation issue and should be handled in your application and not inside SQL.

you can do this very easily in your application by using format functions. In SSRS, you already have some standard currency formats or even can give custom expression like ="$###,###,###.#0"
