Hello all,

Is there a function that can be used on a calculator to add a comma after each third number.

e.g. 100,000,000

It would help me read larger numbers quickly.

You can always read the manual.

Thanks for the reply.

My Albert 3 looks different to that one. I think mine is newer. The layout is completely different.

Manuals look like jargon to me, is it possible to add a comma? Or does your calculator have to come like that?

I found how to change the display in each manual in about a minute each.

What are you going to do when you want to figure out how to do a more complicated task with your calculator?

Hmmm.

The first manual isn't for my calculator.

But, let's take the Casio fx-83ES for example. If it's true, that you found out how to display a comma after every third number - please type the solution on here. I also checked the manual and I couldn't find out how to do it.

If you're talking about the page which let's you specify if you'd like to use a comma instead of a decimal. That is not the solution to my problem.

That's funny. It matches the calculator model and make you typed in.

Oops! I apologize. It appears this model calculator doesn't offer that feature.

No worries,

Yes it's appears to be an older version of the Albert3 that I have.

This is the one I have:

Excel is great! But I need a handheld calculator for tests.
 
  • #13
So does anyone know of a handheld calculator which allows you to have commas after every third number?

Eg, 100,000,000

Dot matrix Casios tend not to, 7-segment or 2-line Casios often do - the FX-85MS for instance.
