adding commas to pie charts (and other charts)

[Anonymous]

Hi, how does one add commas to values that are in pie charts? For some reason I can't find the option that allows me to format the values ...

I can format the % using multiple decimal points but can't find the ability to add commas. The sums are based on counts of a 3 categories names.

Please create the count as a measure and then you will be able to do what i suggested earlier.

When the count measure is selected, You will be able to see a ',' comma icon on the top options ribbon(Measure tools). Please select that in order to add comma seperation.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Thanks but that didn't work.  I'm counting a text value, and so when you highlight it, it thinks that it's still text.

That worked and thank you very much!

This would be one area where additional formatting would be helpful...
