Sorry for this question that may appear to be stupid but I am trying to change the number format to switch "." and "," (to be aligned with French habits) and I can't find the right config ☹

I tried stuff like : 0.0,[0]

Thanks in advance  
P.

There is an enhancement request for this added in Kibana, as the comma separated decimals are not supported in the numerical definitions.

It's numeral.js so pretty much whatever you can see on the format section over here: [http://numeraljs.com/](http://numeraljs.com/) is supported.
