"the first dashboard"
Currency, scaled to thousands with one decimal
Finally, the last thing I want to change in this dashboard is what if I don't want to see these numbers, you know, in cents? I want to see actually, you know, in a different format. I want to format these numbers. How easy it is to format numbers. Well, I'm going to go back to the query, which is the grid, and I want to change this pill. I'm going to click the arrow pointing down, I'm going to say, format this number and I'm going to say it's a currency and I want to use, let's say millions or maybe no, thousands with one decimal, and that's it. So I just changed the format. Now when I go to Dashboard, it looks much better. Right on. So let me save. I'm just saving again my dashboard, which is called the first dashboard. If I go back to the default project and I have here, let me just refresh it to be sure I'm refreshing it, and I open the workbook I just created, I have all of these different queries that I created, and I have my first dashboard right here when I click on it. Guess what? Now the dashboard I just created is completely available for everyone else with all the filters and with all the interactivity. It's very cool, very intuitive, very fast.
