I'm designing a platform for the stock market where I have multiple tables and all the cells have numbers.
I don´t have enough space because I have a lot of cells and the maximum number that can appear in each cell is 99,000,000,000. Now this would make the cell size huge and the scenario of such a big number appearing is rare.
What would be a good average cell size? Any best practices?
You can use some form of metric prefix for huge numbers. For example, instead of "99,000,000,000" you can use "$99B", and on hover to show the full number.
1,000 = 1k
1,000,000 = 1m
1,000,000,000 = 1B
1,000,000,000,000 = 1T
The financial metric prefixes are taken from here.
