I’m not sure what you’re asking. Can you give us some more info–maybe a screenshot–of what’s wrong? ---

How are you displaying the tag value? Inside of a numeric label? Have you checked the display format on the component? It should be `#,##0.00` or similar. Also, you tagged “database”, so is this value coming in from a database? Is the value in the database table a float? ---

@PATIL, please confirm what you have for your display format. A screenshot showing your configuration would be good. > [@nminchin](#): > > Have you checked the display format on the component? It should be `#,##0.00` or similar. ---
