In a text field it comes by default

You can't just add random props and hope they work.

How do you want the data formatted?

Are you using the comma as the decimal separator, or as the hundreds separator?

For the mb units you can add that to the props.label.units.

I don't think you can have the number displayed with a comma as a hundreds seperator.

If your value of 1843828728 is actually 1843.828728, then you will need to do an expression on the value to divide your number by 1000000. And then set your props.label.maxDecimal the number of decimals you want to show.
