Formatting Numbers in a Clay Table for Improved Readability

·

Is it possible to format numbers in a clay table to be shown as 1,000,000 instead of 1000000?

    Would love a more friendly way to look at this type of data

    use the formula generator and just ask to insert a comma every 3 number places

    Got it, looks like that will work. Only annoying part is that this adds another column to an already very crowded table. Would be nice if they offered formatting columns like they do in excel

    It shows the output correctly, but when I hit save it doesn't come through correctly

    Scratch that, looks like I need to format it as text in order for the commas to be shown. Which is even more annoying because that screws up the sorting/filtering on $ amounts

    Thanks for the feedback Gabe L. - we should probably add those commas automatically for numbers, surfacing to the team. For now, i know thats a bit annoying but as a workaround, you can duplicate the column and filter/sort on one, while the other has the formatting,

    Thanks Adam. I often find myself exporting clay tables to excel, doing certain things like this that clay doesn't work well for, then re-importing the table into clay. Would be great to only work in clay some day!
