        ABS(Value) >= 1000000000, FORMAT(Value / 1000000000, "#,##0.0") & "B",
        ABS(Value) >= 1000000, FORMAT(Value / 1000000, "#,##0.0") & "M",
        ABS(Value) >= 1000, FORMAT(Value / 1000, "#,##0.0") & "K",
        FORMAT(Value, "#,##0")
    )

Notes

Depends on the Total Sales measure from this library; the result is text, so it displays well on cards but can't be used in further math.
