Choose Format Numbers and choose a preset format.

- Click Custom… for more presets or to specify your own custom
format.

- Use a preset or enter a custom string in the Format string.
For multiple formats, use this syntax: <POSITIVE_FORMAT>;<NEGATIVE_FORMAT>;<ZERO_FORMAT>.
The Format string always uses a comma (,) for the thousands separator and a period (.) for the decimal separator. Change the separator in the Thousands or Decimal string to override the separator in the Format string. CSV downloads ignore the specified separators and always use the default values of comma (,) for thousands and period (.) for decimal.

format.

Click Done to save the format.
Note In the Spring ’20 release we unified number behavior in charts, tables, and number widgets.- 0 values follow formula logic. For example, a format string $#.## with a 0 value returns $0.00.
- Default behavior never returns a negative 0.
- Short numbers like 1.0x always return 1.0x, not 1x.
- Negative and zero formats are optional.
