comma separator in calculated field

If you create column from list as numeric data type, you will have the option to remove the separator. But if you are adding from the site settings you won’t have this option.

Also, calculated field doesn’t have this option. So, you will need another way to solve this issue.

Now to create calculated field and remove the comma separator, we are going to use JSON to remove it. In the column settings, go to column validation and paste the following code

{“$schema”:”https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json”,”elmType”:”div”,”attributes”:{“class”:”=if(@currentField > 0,”, ”)”},
“children”:[{
“elmType”:”span”,”style”:{“display”:”inline-block”}},{“elmType”:”span”,”txtContent”:”@currentField”}
]}
