return module

Script

local abbreviate = require(script.Parent.AbbreviateModule)
print(abbreviate(lvl.Value))

Attempt to call a instance value i tried

tonumber(lvl.Value)

lvl is a numberValue inside player leaderstats

Looks like you are trying to call the module as a function. There are a number of ways to do what it looks like you are trying there, but the basic way is like this:

local AbbreviateModule = require(script.Parent.AbbreviateModule)
local ans = AbbreviateModule.abbreviate(lvl.Value)
print(ans)

An alternative to above solution is to change the module to return a function directly:

return function(number)
	--code
end

And not have the module = {} or module.abbreviate at all. Unless you plan to add more functions in the module then above solution is in most cases the best.
