Hello,

I’d like to request a feature improvement where numbers entered as 5000000 can be displayed as 5,000,000. For large numbers its very confusing for Users. We currently put a box below that outputs the number in a formatted way, but it can be slow to update and take up space.

Thank you!

Marc

To be clear, I’m not referring to how data is displayed from the column, but the actual input box when a user is keying in a large number.

Yes. And bring back number units within the number entry component!
