Set the format of widget numbers

Learn how to round numbers, add abbreviations, and set units for widget numbers using the Number formatting menu.

The Number formatting menu lets you override the automatically applied decimal places or add additional context to the values shown on your widget.

To access it, click the more options icon in the top right corner of your widget, then select Number formatting.

Each menu option is set to Auto by default, which detects whether there's a known abbreviation, a decimal place format, or a unit for the data you're visualizing. For example, if you've set a value type as currency in a dataset, the widget will automatically apply the associated prefix or suffix. A value of 135,600 would display as 135.6K.

Abbreviation options

Abbreviation options let you indicate that a number has been abbreviated using the correct suffix. Preset values are K for thousand, M for million, and B for billion. Choose None to remove any automatically applied abbreviation.

Decimal places options

Decimal places options let you add or remove decimal places. Auto shows up to 3 decimal places. Use the Fixed option to set a specific number of decimal places.

Fixed supports between 0 and 6 decimal places.

Unit options

Unit options let you add up to 3 characters to the beginning or end of a number to indicate what it represents.
