Why do these 12-digit numbers look like this? as you can visualize them in a normal way.

HI @jracer007

 

That is scientific format.  It probably implies your numbers are very very large, or very very small.  

 

Have you tried formatting the field using the options in the Formatting section of the Modeling tab?
