Display the currency symbols in pop-ups for ArcGIS Online Map Viewer

Summary

When configuring a pop-up to display the price of a feature, the currency symbol is not displayed as the field data type is numerical. The image below shows the Prices field without a dollar sign preceding the value.

This article provides a few workflows to display a currency symbol in pop-ups for ArcGIS Online Map Viewer. In this example, the dollar sign is added to the Prices field.

Procedure

Add a new string field to the table

1. In ArcGIS Online, add a field with a string data type, and calculate values for the field.
2. In the Expression dialog box, insert the following Arcade expression with the desired currency symbol. In this example, the dollar sign ($) is used.

Text($feature., '$ ###,###,###.00') 

3. Optionally, delete the original field without the currency symbol in the values. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Delete a field for further instructions.
4. Configure the pop-up to display the new field. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Configure pop-ups for further instructions.
