Apex:OutputText to Currency Format from String Wrapper

by

is there a way to pass a string to the <apex:outputText> so that it can be formatted as a currency or percent value?

Here’s what I have inside a column of my visual force table:

<apex:outputText value="{0, number, currecny}">
<apex:param value="{!row.values[1]}" />
</apex:outputText

this gives me an error at runtime (when the visual force page loads), which I think may be some kind of type mismatch, where <apex:outputText> is expecting a Decimal or number but I am passing a string.

This is the error at runtime:

The value attribute on is not in a valid format. It must be a positive number, and of type Number, Date, Time, or Choice.

Thanks

The problem was you misspelled currency. This works fine and avoids hard coding the currency symbol:

<apex:outputText value="{0, Number, Currency}">
