Enhanced custom currency format: Display exact financial values
Previously, Grafana automatically abbreviated large currency values like $1,235,667 to $1.24M or $555,558 into $555.6K. While this works well for most visualizations, financial data often requires exact values to be displayed.
We enhanced our custom currency format to solve this. Instead of the standard currency format, you can now use currency:financial:<unit>, which displays the complete numeric value instead of scaled abbreviations.
For example, currency:financial:$ will format large values like 1235667 as $1,235,667 instead of $1.24M.
Currency symbol positioning
The financial format also supports flexible symbol positioning:
Prefix (default): currency:financial:$ → $1,235,667
Suffix: currency:financial:€:suffix → 1,235,667€
