=== Consistent notation === There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or [[1,000,000,000|billions]] of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. Use <code>&nbsp;</code> to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per [[MOS:NUM]]. Do not express results as a decimal such as <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: hidden; " inline>{{Increase}} US$.963 billion (2010)</syntaxhighlight>. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers. In this example, use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: hidden; " inline>{{Increase}} US$963 million (2010)</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Increase}} US$963,000,000 (2010)</syntaxhighlight> and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently. ==== More examples ==== Exact dollars {{Infobox company | name = Example 1 | revenue = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$42,588,363,000 (2011)|US$31,127,556,602 (2010)}} | operating_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$3,963,082,345 (2011)|US$3,144,535,447 (2010)}} | net_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$2,700,376,442 (2011)|US$2,223,224,071 (2010)}} | assets = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$64,020,364,188 (2011)|US$59,883,175,007 (2010)}} | equity = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$10,863,945,862 (2011)|US$10,802,835,119 (2010)}} }} <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: hidden; "> | name = Example 1 | revenue = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$42,588,363,000 (2011)|US$31,127,556,602 (2010)}} | operating_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$3,963,082,345 (2011)|US$3,144,535,447 (2010)}} | net_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$2,700,376,442 (2011)|US$2,223,224,071 (2010)}} | assets = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$64,020,364,188 (2011)|US$59,883,175,007 (2010)}} | equity = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$10,863,945,862 (2011)|US$10,802,835,119 (2010)}} </syntaxhighlight> {{strong|or}} Rounded billions <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: hidden; "> | revenue = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} [[United States dollar|US$]]42.588 billion (2011)|US$41.754 billion (2010)}} | operating_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$3.963 billion (2011)|US$3.258 billion (2010)}} | net_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$2.700 billion (2011)|US$2.615 billion (2010)}} | assets = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$64.020 billion (2011)|US$59.878 billion (2010)}} | equity = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$10.864 billion (2011)|US$10.111 billion (2010)}} </syntaxhighlight> {{strong|or}} Rounded millions <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: hidden; "> | revenue = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$42,588 million (2011)|US$41,754 million (2010)}} | operating_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$3,963 million (2011)|US$3,258 million (2010)}} | net_income = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$2,700 million (2011|US$2,615 million (2010)}} | assets = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$64,020 million (2011)|US$59,878 million (2010)}} | equity = {{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$10,864 million (2011)|US$10,111 million (2010)}} </syntaxhighlight> {{strong|but not}} Do not use an inconsistent mix of the three styles depicted in the examples above.
