Dynamic formatting issue with total label in bar charts

Hi,

I have a measure that is dynamically formatted to display the values as K's, M's or Bn's. It is working as expected in matrix and column chart visuals. However, when I use a stacked bar chart, although the individual segments are formatted correctly, the total formating is not.  This screenshot shows the formatting issue. Is there a workaround for this?

@Anonymous , Make sure the total label's Display Unit is set to None or Auto. Not to a specific value

Thanks @amitchandak, the value display didn't change with these settings.

I also tested it by changing the visual to a matrix. The screenshot shows there is no issue with the measure.

Similarly, changing the visual to a column chart corrects the issue

I am facing the same issue, exactly, with exactly the same dynamic formatting. Could not solve it so far.
