Yeah, I was not quite sure of that either. It truncates any number to its first number
and three decimal 0s.
1,000,000 becomes 1.000
123,456 becomes 1.000
645,321 becomes 6.000
I guess it is not worse than stripping the commas and replacing them with pipes (|),
something I recently had to do in this wonky financial application. Nothing like seeing:
123|456|789:123
....to make you sick of numbers quick.
