[Qgis-user] Labels with 'text'

[Goyo]

Removing decimals in the label formatting only works if the label is
actually a number, which is not anymore if you add the string "Acres".
So you need to explicitly apply some function on the field value,
something like

toint(acres) || '  Acres'

might do the trick.
