Hi @fay, Can you share the type of the field you are using for temperature and show the visualisation configuration? ---

I figure it out it become negative because its come in practice (25.2 C) So I Change the metrice format to (aa.a) so it shown as 25.2 correctly But I have another issue if you can help How can I add a C after the number to represent Celsios ? In metric format Because I tried (aa.a)C but still didn’t work ---

Hi @fay, what version of the stack are you using? I think a regular number format in Lens Metric can be used in combination with the suffix to achieve the expected result: ![Screenshot 2023-10-12 at 09.54.48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/d/4d16078c9ad0b97f145d9f8348b6f6df0c6cb8f7.png) ---

Hi Marco Yes this is work in Visualization but I’m currently working in Canvas and its not showing the Suffix section at all So I decide to select custom format but still can’t figure it out ---

It is not possible to have a static text as prefix/suffix in Canvas. ---
