How can you change the color of a cell using beast mode and have the output formatted as a number?

Hi,

I'm trying to format the color of the text and background in a table using HTML similar to what's below:

CONCAT('<div style="background-color:#fccf84; width: 100%; height:100%; margin:-20px; padding:20px"><a href="#">', SUM(`Variance`), '</a></div>')

The problem is that I want to put dollar signs and comma's in the output but this formats it as text. Is there any way around that?

Hi all,

Can anybody help @jakeroberts with their question?

Thanks!

This is not possible, however you can format the number in a dataflow.

CONCAT('$', FORMAT(Amount, 2)) Amount
