Column Header as Billions

BRRLL99

Hi Team,

 

I would like present my columns >>Sales, Profit, Assets, Market value into Sales(Billions),profit(Billions) etc.,

Few rows in the columns have Millions(M). Please let me know how can I convert those million values into Billions. Since some values have negative millions.

Hi, can we alter column heading and add Billion i.e. Sales (in B) rather then adding "B" in every cell? Also, wherever it's Million, it can be converted to B by dividing to 100.

How does this look @BRRLL99? Formula:

 

 

if contains([_CurrentField_], 'M') then '$'+tostring(tonumber(REGEX_Replace([_CurrentField_], '[$M]', ''))/1000)+ ' B' else [_CurrentField_] endif

Hi,

 

Billions can be converted into millions by dividing 1000.

 

Please go through profit column (example)

Apple63.9 B
Core -Mark Holding63.2M
Mustachio Bank60.6M

 

how can i divide String 63.2M OR 60.6M with 1000?

only if last character is "M"
