Hey @DILIP_SHARMA,

It doesn't look like numeral.js has support for this yet: [https://github.com/adamwdraper/Numeral-js/issues/19](https://github.com/adamwdraper/Numeral-js/issues/19).

My only other suggestion is to use a scripted field to accomplish this, but if you have a very large dataset, then this might cause a noticeable performance hit: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)

Hi @Larry_Gregory ,  
yes i have looked this , but i don't see they taking any step on that .  
and surly scripted field not option as these value get aggregated in kibana visualization.  
any efforts from ES team on this ? or we have to wait till numeral.js support this ?

Thanks .
