Suppose I want to sum field its sum range 1 to 10000 then shows like 10k,  
sum range from 10000 to million it shows in million  
and sum range more than millions then it shows in billions.  
Is it possible to perform such a filter to get above results.

You could re-purpose some of the Ruby on Rails [code](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/005e14b2c4c403c7a85902f00d58c32bfc9ecd6c/activesupport/lib/active_support/number_helper/number_to_human_converter.rb) for number\_to\_human.
