Hi Team,

We have used Metric Visualization to present different set of data in the form of Metrics , sometimes the data count will be too much and it leads to 7 ,8,9 digits.  
Sometimes for an user it will be difficult to count total number of digits and get the value.  
Do we have any option to make it User readable like 10M (for 10,000,000 ), 8B (for 8,000,000,000) etc....

Waiting for your response!

Thanks  
Ramya.

You can configure that in the advanced settings (`format:number:defaultPattern`).

It takes a [numeral format](http://numeraljs.com/), it sounds you are looking for `0,0a`
