Hi friends!
I’m making a simple bar chart showing costs in the value label and for some reason the formatting gets completely thrown off. See pictures. I am already formatting these values in the LookML and it’s working for other visualisations. I can use a table calculation to format the number and it works but I don’t want to use this since I don’t always know what currency is coming through. In my LookML I’m using html to format the number. I’m both rounding it and adding K, M etc and adding the appropriate currency symbol.
Looking pretty ugly, see the results for how I want it to be formatted.
Working great in another visual.
Anyone experienced the same and how did you solve it? Is it a bug and if so how do I escalate?
Many thanks,
Elin
Hi Leo! I tried using a table calc and that works but I can’t have that solution because it’s not dynamic. The way we’re formatting numbers are a bit complex because we don’t know what currency they will be in (this is decided in a different column). This is the LookML for the formatting:
The currency_symbol is another field where the value is decided by mapping the currency code to a specific currency. Since the value on one row can be in euro and another in dollars I can’t use a table calc to format the number and get a currency symbol.
Any other ideas?
