Changing custom field display format
In CDP Data Visualization, you can Set currency display options for numerical fields across all visuals of a dataset.
Follow these steps to continue configuring a field at the dataset level for custom format. See Changing the Field Display Format for the initial navigation steps.
Let's compare the visuals before and after we apply the custom format.
- Before we apply the custom format on the
gdp
field, the visual displays the regular currency format: real numbers in the vertical axis, prefixed by$
(dollar sign) to indicate currency. - When we use the
$S
custom format on thegdp
field, the visual still uses the dollar currency sign, but also simplifies/abbreviates the number and shows the corresponding currency suffix. In the case of this visual, T for trillion; this custom format transforms the representation$2,500,000,000,000.00
into$2.5T
