Hello,

In the application I have prepared, I want to add a thousands separator to all numerical values. I will share a screenshot of the application. Just like it’s done in the Excel application. The thousands separator should appear automatically when the value is entered. In other words, the same logic as in Excel. This is what I want to do.

There is a method of adding a function to insert a dot, but this is both very cumbersome and causes errors in mathematical operations.

Will this type of update be released? Isn’t there a simpler way?

Hello @rbozkurt  
There is no automatic way to add a thousand separator to numbers.  
As you said, it is possible to add a dot using text blocks, but it is complicated and it will convert the number into text, so then it will not be possible to use it on math formulas.
