When a number is written with a comma 1,000 1,000,000 etc.
Gmail will remove the comma from the preheader so it will display as 1000 1000000 etc.

If a number contains a comma which is not used for formatting thousands then it seems to work ok e.g 1,0 10,00

A way to work around this is to include a hidden character like a zero width non-joiner1,‌000 1,‌000,000 etc.
