basically, I’m working on an app and I want to be able to have it so that instead of numbers being like 10000 it becomes 10k. so if a value was 13,382 it would turn into 13.38k or if it was 372,281 it would turn into 372.28k or if it was 1,291,291 it would turn into 1.29m ---

You’re going to need some IF blocks. If num \< 1000 then display num, else if num \< 1000000 then display join round(num/1000) & “k”, else display join round (num/1000000) & “m” ---

Thank you. But is there any way to make it more exact? Like 5.2k or something? ---

Sure! You can use any divisor you want. So if the number is in the thousands, divide by 1000 and round to one decimal place using this block: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/d/ed993a57e6ac189c490a356a96afc5c9f18868f8.png) If you need more help, post a screenshot of the blocks you’ve tried and explain the result and I can help you further. ---

sorry, i couldn’t resist the challenge! here’s a demo to call a standard routine for abbreviating a number all the way to the billions with 2 decimal places for the abbreviation estimates: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/0/e08f921727664d33dbd321afdcaa34fd0747e8ab.png) here’s the code: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/c/2c2e1d00176e15f192e9e3ba0df559a50b2f07b0.png) and here’s the project link [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/633341745316150557381fa3/4c6410d9-af01-43ff-ae29-7eed4bf7c004/blocks](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/633341745316150557381fa3/4c6410d9-af01-43ff-ae29-7eed4bf7c004/blocks) ---
