In a multi-currency Salesforce organization, displaying currency amounts according to the user's locale is crucial for ensuring data clarity and relevance. To achieve this, developers can leverage Salesforce's built-in capabilities to format field values directly within SOQL queries. The FORMAT() function is particularly useful as it formats currency fields according to the organization's locale settings. By using this function in a SOQL query, developers can ensure that the Amount and LastModifiedDate fields are displayed correctly. This method is more effective and efficient than post-processing the values in Apex, which would be required if using wrapper classes or REGEX expressions. Additionally, using the FOR VIEW clause in a SOQL query will mark records as recently viewed, which does not format the fields as per the user's locale.
