Commas and decimals

When writing about numbers that appear in a Splunk product UI, duplicate them exactly as the UI displays. Otherwise, follow these guidelines.

Use standard American-style formatting for commas and decimal points in numbers. For information about commas as punctuation, see Comma.

Commas

When writing numerals that are 4 or more digits long, use commas to set off groups of 3 digits.

See the following examples:

• 1,852,762
• 2,000

Decimals

When writing numerals with a decimal, use a period for the decimal point and include up to 2 decimal places. For an amount less than 1, use a leading 0 before the decimal point.

See the following examples:

• 0.05
• 3.14
