2,200,000 = 2.2M

Research direction

Start by locating the visualization number-formatting entry points and checking how large values are currently displayed. Use the examples in the issue as the target behavior: 2,200,000 should display as 2.2M and 200,000 as 200K. Confirm the formatting consistently across visualizations and verify the resulting labels manually or with the relevant existing tests.
