Shortening large numbers

[BobbyBoy]

Hello!

Looking for some options on shortening large numbers, really wish I'd of been more into math in high school all the sudden
For example if [Measure24hVolume] returned 11,667,830 I'd like to display 11.6M for readability and space purposes, anyone have any slick ideas?

Thanks for the input in advance!

The key to your request are 2 options to the String-meter: AutoScale and NumOfDecimals:

AutoScale=2 means scale by 1000 (and not 1024)
NumOfDecimals=1 means display 1 decimal

Docu AutoScale: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/meters/string/#AutoScale
Docu NumOfDecimals: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/meters/string/#NumOfDecimals

After posting I reread the autoscale stuff but your example helped, thank you!
