Automatic conversion of values in tables
When the system converts one unit it automatically shortens the unit’s value and adds a suffix. This improves the readability
of large data and data with multiple decimal places in report tables.
This automatic rescaling of values applies to all large or small values regardless of whether they have Metric or English Standard facets applied.
For example, a value of 16100 converts in the table as 16.10k.
