Write fractions in text

[raf9]

Hello All;
I am writing some values on the chart and am using the drawText function to do this.
The problem I have is that some symbols like U.S. Bonds or U.S. Notes write as decimals instead of fractions.
Is there an efs function that can convert the number to fraction?
Thanks in advance

The function you are looking for is formatPriceNumber() which will display your value in the same format as that of the symbol in the chart [including whether you compact or not the prices]
For the description and syntax see the link to the related article in the EFS KnowledgeBase
Note that you should run a null check on the value prior to using the formatPriceNumber() function eg
var myVar = your_value;
if(myVar==null) return;//this is the null check
drawText(formatPriceNumber(myVar),...);
This should resolve the problem you are having
