Scaling a number in number format options

Scaling a number in number format options

In Anaplan it is not possible to scale a number. i.e. show the value of a number in Millions or Thousands.

Instead we create a scaling line item and divide all the related line items by this. It is a repetitive work.

In New UX I have noticed this when bringing numbers from the source.

Scaling option can be accommodated in the number format menu just like selecting the decimals and types etc.

Hi.  If you like this idea, you will probably also be interested in this one here too.  The new one is specific to Management reports, and the number scaling would take place in the UX layer, but may be of interest to your business as well.
