I’ve formatted the numbers in a column but when I use the value in a Radial chart, it still shows up like this, unformatted. Is there any way to fix this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/c/5c8dca0658e8e6584b1127aa666f4d271bf9a49c.png) ---

How are you formatting the number? ![CleanShot 2025-05-26 at 06.46.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/6/46baf6d33f1fe26de26ab19c07aee9fddaa42fde.gif) It’s working normally on my side. ---

Interesting! I guess if I use the numbers column type directly it works but this is what I’m doing - I’m formatting the value using template type because the currency symbol used isn’t generic (user can customise) and most of the numbers are calculated (in this case the rollup column beside). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/1/51988eb1473feb55d3ee3722143c559f1bad4b82.png) In the radial chart, I’m just using the template column value ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/3/93631411ef6180bd46b7c7a23fcaf2bea3046374.png) ---

I think that’s the problem you’re facing here, it’s because you’re trying to feed a text into the chart, it parses out only the number to calculate how to display. Maybe there’s no quick fix, you can try exploring Quickcharts. ---

Got it, thanks! Would’ve been nice to be able to do this within Glide itself! All g ---

I will discuss with the team to see if they can support this. ---

@clydedz The response from the team is: “The updated Chart component has similar capabilities, so I’d recommend asking them to submit a feature request for the radial chart that brings in similar functionality.” ---

Yes, true, the Charts (beta) does display the formatted text but it doesn’t have a pie chart! I’ll submit 2 feature requests - 1) to add pie chart into Charts (beta) and 2) to make radial charts support formatted text. Thanks for your help @ThinhDinh ---
