LabelFormat =”#,#,,”             ->  3

LabelFormat =”#,#,,.###”    -> 3.457
LabelFormat =”#,#,.#”          -> 3,456.9
LabelFormat =”#,#,,.##”       -> .46
LabelFormat =”#,0,,.###”     -> 0.457
LabelFormat =”#,0,.#”           -> 456.9

Add Text or Characters
LabelFormat=”$#,#,,M”          -> $3M
LabelFormat=”$#,#,,.##M”    -> $3.46M
LabelFormat=”$ #,#,, M”        -> $ 3 M

Sections

  • 1st section ->  Positive Values
  • 2nd section  ->  Negative Values
  • 3rd section   ->  Zero Values

Example
Positive value is displayed with two decimals, negative values are in a parenthesis, and zero values are just a single zero.

LabelFormat=”#,0.00;(#,0.00);0″

Currency
If you do not need to scale the number, you can use “C” followed by a specifier to indicate the number of decimals. If you do not add a specifier, decimals will be the same as the default in your CRM.

LabelFormat=”C”    -> Currency with default decimals
LabelFormat=”C0″  -> Currency with no decimals
LabelFormat=”C3″  -> Currency with 3 decimals forced

Step 4: Insert the Label Format in the chart XML.
