Close - I ended up with this and it worked: format_number(acres, 0)
|| ' ' || 'Acres'<br>
<br>
Thanks - I had no clue that format_number was something I could do.

class="quote"> Question - I'm building a map for a client. I
need to label a polygon <br>
with the Acres and the word Acres. The attribute for this
polygon would <br>
be 184.35679835. In Properties -> Labels -> Formatting I
can remove the <br>
decimals and I get 184 for a label.
<br>
<br>
If I add the word Acres to the label -> acres || ' Acres'
I expect to <br>
see 184 Acres. Instead I see 184.35679835 Acres.
<br>
<br>
Is there something I'm missing when adding text to a label? I
think <br>
there probably is....but I'm drawing a blank.
