You can use this customized rule that I created for myself

a!match(
  value: ri!num,
  whenTrue: and(len(fv!value)>=4,len(fv!value)<=6 ),
  then: concat(round(fv!value/1000,2),"k"),
  whenTrue: and(len(fv!value)>=6,len(fv!value)<=9 ),
  then:concat(round(fv!value/1000000,2),"m"),
  whenTrue:len(fv!value)<=9,
  then: concat(round(fv!value/10000000,2),"b"),
  default: fv!value
)

yes, by question phrase OP said value can be million or billion, assuming it can go more than number(integer) range in Appian which can be an issue, if it is below than that Yamaken ->

/*you can use round funcction to display values after decimal 
for ex bellow cade will give you 100K for 100000, and 100.543K for 100543 to round up the result by 1 or 2 decimal 
you can use round function to get desired result e.g - 100.5k*/
if(
  or(len(ri!number) < 4, len(ri!number) > 10),
  ri!number,
  a!match(
    value: len(ri!number),
    whenTrue: fv!value < 7,
    then: concat(ri!number / 1000, "k"),
    whenTrue: fv!value < 10,
    then: concat(ri!number / 1000000, "M"),
    default: concat(ri!number / 1000000000, "B")
  )
)

I think the person who asked this question should tell what is the Maximum length of digits he is expecting to be processed or formatted. To answer your question he is asking just to display the value in thousands is what I understand. If its the above case then he can change it to thousands and use fixed and concat the K

Can't we use round function and use keywords like "Nearly" , "Over"

we can write our own logic but in case if value is : 968546729, what do you expect in output?

Hello Yamaken,

There is no such function to perform your requirement. We have currency function to get the format from normal text/numbers to ISO formats but not from ISO format to the way you are expecting. May be you can create a generic rule and use along your application instead as it is a very minor and easy to handle requirement.

Then Why don't you divide the value with million and just Add "in Millions" Tag.
