The [transaction.duration.us](http://transaction.duration.us) is captured in microseconds and when I create a visualization to display the average for this field it shows up in microseconds as well. Is there a way for me to display this in milliseconds or seconds?

Hi @Kartheek_Mannepalli,

Have you tried to use Number formatter (Duration) for that field?
