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
