Measure Configuration

The Measure (value) that is used in the chart is shown in an area beneath the X & Y Axis sections.

Open

In this section, you can specify the following:

Prefix – what appears before a number on the Y Axis, e.g., currency symbol such as £. If you’re displaying a negative number, the prefix will be displayed after the minus sign e.g. -£50

Suffix – what appears at the end of the numbers on the Y Axis, e.g., %

Thousand Separator – how thousand values are separated, e.g., 1,000

Decimal Separator – how decimal values are separated, e.g., 1.3 or 1,3

Decimal Places – how many decimal places are displayed at the end of a number 

If you want to add a space between the number and a prefix or suffix you could use &nbsp%.

Open

When using the suffix field, enter as &nbsp%.

When using the prefix field, enter as £&nbsp.

If your Data Source was formatted, either before it was imported or at the time of import, figures may already contain currency or percentage symbols. If you want to remove these from being displayed in your chart you could enter something like this in the Prefix or Suffix field

if you need to do this, you must also remember to tick the ‘Display column as HTML’ box otherwise <b/> will be entered in the relevant field.
