Specific column in thousands

Hello

When we enter a specific column and select, for example, show units in thousands, the data shown in the table places the suffix "thousand", is there any way not to put the "thousand"?

The idea is not to have to have two measurements, one for the data in units and another in thousands.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your time.

Actually it doesn't work for me, since that would change the format of the measurement for all visuals.

I need to use the same measure in Units in one visual and in thousands in another visual without the "thousand", so far I solve it with different measures.

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

You could consider using custom formatting for that field. This blog might help:
