Formatting visual numeric data based on language settings in QuickSight

In Amazon QuickSight, you can choose how your numeric data values appear in visuals so that they align with the regional language that you have chosen.

As a QuickSight author, you can choose the language formatting that best fits your audience. Amazon QuickSight configures numeric data languages at the analysis level based on the language that you have chosen to view QuickSight in. You can change the format of numbers, currencies, and dates. You can change your QuickSight language settings in the Language dropdown list of the QuickSight User menu in the top-right corner. You can change the language formatting for a field across every visual in a sheet, or you can change the language formatting at the individual visual level.
