# Editing units of measure in a report

If you are working with large numbers, you can select and display the applicable unit of measure for that field. This task assumes you are working with a base or calculated measure in the field of an Analyzer report.

To add or edit a unit of measure, perform the following steps:

1. In your report, right-click the column header of the measure you want to modify, such as **Quantity** or **Sales**.
2. From the menu that appears, select **Edit**. The **Edit Column** dialog box opens.
3. In the **Format** field, select **Currency** or **General Number**.
4. In the **Units** field, select the unit of measure. .

   The **Units** field is only available when the format is set to **Currency** or **General Number**
5. Click **OK** to save your changes.
