Background and customer pain pointsCurrently Sisense is capable of showing numeric figures in abbreviated format, but only in the American/European short scale form: thousand (k), million (M), billion (B), trillion (T). In east Asian countries, there is a different scale form, so viewing information in these k/M/B/T is very difficult to understand.
