Cascade displays every number format within your workspaces in your local format as set by your browser language option by default. However, different regions might have different format to represent numbers in terms of grouping, decimals, commas or separators. And, the browsers may not always be set to show up the correct region or locale settings. For example, while US and UK use a period to indicate the decimal place, many other countries like Danish and French use a comma instead.
To enable users to concretely set the format they want their numbers to be in, we've now enabled setting up localization of numbers within Cascade. This'll help them with varied formatting requirements than that's available from their browser language settings.
-
From your profile picture/initials, under Settings, click My profile > Localization.
- Choose the region from the Locale dropdown. You'll see a preview of how the number format would look like beside the Format.
This setting does not change the currency to the chosen locale (Euro, Pound, etc.,) as they're specified as "units" in Cascade.

Click Save to reflect the changes. Click Reset to revert back.
The number format that you chose will be reflected across the platform except in the graph visualizations. Even if the numbers are coming in from an external connection like spreadsheets, the numbers will be formatted and displayed in the locale format that you chose.
For example, When Danish is set as Locale, the numbers displayed in the platform will look like this:
This localization setting is done at an individual profile level and does not impact number formats across the workspace for other users. i.e., if you set a number localization, only you would be able to see those locale number formats and not the others in your workspace. They'll only see the default US number format unless they change it from their Profile > Localization page.
If you wish to revert to your default format, select your browsers’ language in the "Localization" page.
