Unless it’s localised, this is one of those questions that’s been asked before a lot of times. Please search the forum first:

How do I shorten this numbers?

This problem was interesting so I had a go. The trick is to use the number and do math, rather than trying to work with strings. Removed the loops too local abbreviations = { "K", -- 4 digits "M", -- 7 digits "B", -- 10 digits "T", -- 13 digits "QD", -- 16 digits "QT", -- 19 digits "SXT", -- 22 digits "SEPT", -- 25 digits "OCT", -- 28 digits "NON", -- 31 digits "DEC", -- 34 digits "UDEC", -- 37 digits "DDEC", -- 40 digits } loc…

Please Number Abbreviation

So I wrote a Module script to abbreviate numbers in my game server, through Replicated Storage. Then I used the Module Script in a Local Script through a starter Gui, that will appear to the player showing them the amount of currency they have through that GUI. You might have saw my post earlier about how my the data wasn’t displaying on the GUI. Well I got the data to display on a GUI, but the number was extremely long, so I had to make a number abbreviation script to make the numbers shorter. …

How do you abbreviate your leaderstats?

Hey! I am currently working on a simulator where you click to earn “Clicks”. However, I realized that if people get to 100T+ clicks, the leaderstats just look messy and have errors. I’ve looked all over the place but can’t find a working abbreviation script. Can anyone help me with creating an abbreviation script? (I know this is pretty short, but I don’t really have anything else to include)

I already tried that post but it didn’t really help

Hey I have noticed that you have not recieved an answer to your question. I found this tutorial on YouTube that seems to solve the issue you are having.

I hope this helps even though it is two years late…

This is my method for abbreviating Leaderstats:

I would recommend adding a StringValue and assigning it to the stat you want to abbreviate.
For example, I have Cookies as my StringValue assigned as Cookies.Value.
Next, I added a TextLabel and renamed it to Cookie.

Now, you can use the AbbreviateNumber function to abbreviate the number.

The first parameter is the number you want to abbreviate. The second parameter is the number of decimal places you want it to have. Here, I chose to have it display the number with no decimal places.
The third parameter is the abbreviations you would like to use.

The abbreviations are in the format of {thousands}, {millions}, {billions}, {trillions}, and {quadrillion}.

After that, you can simply put Cookie.Text = AbbreviateNumber(Cookies.Value, 0) in the TextLabel to display the abbreviated number.

Completely forgot about this post haha! I believe I eventually solved it but that’s a good example for anyone who would like to create a similar system. (I’ll mark it as the solution)
