We love this idea! We’re hoping to learn more about what people are looking to do, and how you’d want it to work. Also, would this be for Spark Page, or Spark Post, or either?
Drop me an email or a note here and let me know!

Number formatting is not supported. When working with large numbers, commas and decimals, or by European standards periods and commas, are useful for parsing the number. The current version of this app accurately calculates pie graphs given a number such as 3912000, but gives inaccurate results given numbers such as 3,912,000 or 3.912.000. Test case: I compared the populations of California and Montana (9145000, and 585500, respectively) in all 3 formats. When not using , or . , the result appears accurate, but when using , or . , the results are very different and obviously inaccurate. Suggest that: A: provide a dropdown box to select European or American formats (a case such as 3.123 cannot be programmatically differentiated from 3 decimal 123 [american] and 3 thousand 1 hundred 23 [European]) and set a bool for European T/F. B: eliminate the . and , characters from the input str (again using the initial bool to evaluate what 3.215 means) to create a float or num. C: return resulting strings (for display on the chart) as either European or American format depending on the initial boolean.
