How to adapt the number format for text in a graph

LS,

I've added some text to a graph which consists of text and a value. In this case: "99% Lower Confidence Limit =" and then the value. Right now, the value is shown as 2738435 and I would like to make it 2.7 million or at least 2,738,435. How should I do that?

The code that I use is:

text(1,1,['99% Lower Confidence Limit =',num2str(value)]);

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best,

or your could use:

text(1,1,sprintf('99%% Lower Confidence Limit =%3.2f Million',value/1e6));

You could try this if you want to take the comma route:

So then it would be

text(1,1,['99% Lower Confidence Limit =',ThousandSep(value)]);
