For readability it would be nice to be able to present numbers (especially large ones) with separators such as commas. Custom defined number formats would be even better (regex).
I’ll third this. Currently we work around it by formatting as currency with no cents and no currency marker, but since Airtable is so lovely in most other ways it would be great to have this niggling little formatting issue fixed.
Not a perfect solution, but this post and the base it references offer some routines providing greater control over formatting of numbers and currency. The routines can’t be used on input fields, but for those looking to format a calculation, they might prove useful…
It’s bizarre that this feature is missing.
I’m pretty sure that it was available 35 years ago in Lotus 1-2-3 and dBase II.
Definitely available more than 25 years ago in Excel and Access.
