I’m building a simple dashboard for our executive team that includes a Number element for a currency field. The dashboard needs to work well on mobile because our execs often access it while traveling internationally.

On desktop, the number element displays correctly with thousands separators (e.g., $1,284,428,043.95). However, on mobile, the formatting disappears and shows as a long unformatted number (e.g., $1284428043.95), which is hard to read.

  • The number element is set to Summary → Sum.
  • It’s aggregating a rollup field from another table, which is formatted as currency.
  • The thousands separator appears fine on desktop but not on mobile.

How can I get the thousands separator (comma) to appear on mobile for this number element? Is this a limitation of Airtable Interfaces on mobile, or is there a workaround?

Thanks!

I am not experiencing the same problem as you.

I have a dashboard interface, with a number element displaying the summary (sum) of a rollup field which is formatted as currency.

The number element displays with the thousands separators on both desktop and Airtable’s mobile app.

You may want to check to make sure you’re running the latest version of Airtable’s mobile app — maybe it was a bug in an older version of the app.

Otherwise, you may want to open a support ticket with support@airtable.com so they can look into it.

Hope this helps!

Hmm I don’t understand why. I am using the latest version of the app and this is what I’m seeing. I had a colleague check and he’s experiencing the same thing.

 

 

I’ll put in a support ticket. Thank you!

That’s very strange. Check out my screenshot below for what I’m seeing on my end.

 

Hm, interesting!  Any chance you could duplicate the base without records and DM me a link to it? 

The number element of a rollup sum displays fine for me on both iPhone (10.43) and Android (6.36.0), and given that it doesn’t display the comma for both you and your colleague I’m curious whether there’s something specific about your setup that’s causing it!
