Comma separator in Card Visual not showing

I have the Display Units settings on Auto and not sure how to insert a comma separator for these amounts. The numbers are derived from a basic Measure and not sure if that has something to do with it?

Hi @hobosapien 
If you measure is a numeric data type, you need to format it from measure tools:

and in the card select none format on display units :

If the measure is text ( 4990 hours) , you need to use "Format" function :
Like :

Total sales text = Format([total_sales],"###,###") & " Dollar"
