Hi, we are trying to format measures using some templates. Is there any helper function we can use?

Hi Prashant! If I understand correctly, you would like to format the output of a measure (=metric) based on some criteria, as mentioned here. Metric formatting is usually done on the back end and itself is a property of a particular metric. A ValueFormatter type is also a part of the UI SDK. An example would be to format the measure output to truncate large numbers. In that case, the value of the

string

would be as follows:

[>=1000000000]$#,,,.0 B;[>=1000000]$#,,.0 M;[>=1000]$#,.0 K;[>=0]$#,##0;[<=-1000000000]-$#,,,.0 B;[<=-1000000]-$#,,.0 M;[<=-1000]-$#,.0 K;[<0]-$#,##0

Please let me know if this is what you are looking for. Thank you!

@Marek Horvat, wondering if we can use

createNumberJsFormatter

or anything we can use where we can send the format as input.

@Prashant Sharma you can definitely go ahead and use

createNumberJsFormatter

to format numbers on the go. It utilizes this package for formatting.

I have installed @gooddata/numberjs library in React application and using

numberFormat

function. It seems working fine. Thanks for the help.
