Is there a way to adjust the number template on the legends on a Kibana map.  
For e.g. it is currently showing the full length for large numbers. what if we want to show the numbers trimmed as $1000k etc. instead of the entire length?

Number templates in the Legend are based on [Kibana field formatters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-data-views.html#managing-fields). These are set for each field in the Data View settings (previously known as Index Patterns in Kibana \<8.0).

Your screenshot is a little blurry, but it looks like your field name is `Abs Delta $`. Assuming you are using Kibana version \>=8.0, find and edit that field in your Data view (Stack Management - Data Views). Change the `Numeral.js format pattern` to `$0,0aK` as seen in my example screenshot below and save your changes. You can find this and more patterns in the [Numeral formatting documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/numeral.html).

Now your legend should show the format you set for that field in the Data view.
