abs()

Updated: 2024-11-11

You can format any number to show the absolute value. This removes the positive or negative value for the field. This is useful in data monitors if you want to change the way a filing balance displays. Learn more in the Data Monitor Expressions help topic.

  1. Place parentheses ( ) around the field code, within the double braces {{ }} (curly brackets).
  2. Add abs in front of the opening parenthesis ( (do not leave any space between it and the parentheses).
Example Sample result
{{CurrentClient.Filing.Balance}}

-500.20 (if it is a refund)

{{abs(CurrentClient.Filing.Balance)}}

500.20 (even if it is a refund)
