Hey Rylee,

 

I understand the issue, but I am just unable to replicate it. I think it is how your data is formatted. The column you are using in the "Values" section of the bar chart, is it a calculated column or a measure? And what is the Data Type of that column/measure (Whole Number, Decimal, Fixed Decimal, etc.)?

 

Best,

 

Alan

Rylee,

 

I was able to replicate your problem. Looks like you might have found a bug in the visual. It worked fine when using the "Column Chart", but if you use either the Stacked or Clustered "Bar Chart", then the K/M won't show up. I was able to get a thousands seperator to work for the bar chart. See below (Added a bunch of columns with different data types to make sure it wasn't just one date type messing up):

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Alan
