I have created a barchart and used Millions as unit on Y axis. I want to display the data labels as $ X.XX ($ symbol and two digits after decimal point). have tried different possible options available in appstudio but couldn't get required format. Please help me.

I've looked for this specific format but can't find one. You can either do the Millions Currency or 2 decimals. You might want to open a case with IB tech support to see if they have a suggestion and please post it here so we know.

Hi Jarves,
have a look at the below code, hope this helps
i think setting the following API will help
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),10);

 

ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
SET PAGE-NUM=NOLEAD
SET ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART
SET EMBEDHEADING=ON
SET GRAPHDEFAULT=OFF
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_UNITS='INCHES';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_HEIGHT='4.21875';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_WIDTH='8.020833';
-DEFAULTH &WF_TITLE='WebFOCUS Report';

Hi Addy,

I have tried your suggestion and the dollar symbol is getting added on Y axis units but not on top of the bars.
I have tried below. The $ symbol is getting added to he data labels which are on top of the bars but the decimal points are more than two (e.g. $10.65242)
setTextFormatPreset(getDataText(),10);

If I use below, I'm able restrict the decimals points but not getting the $ symbol.
setTextFormatPattern(getDataText(),"#.##");

Hi Jarves,
Sorry i just gave you the Y axis string and not the data label but you figured it out.
As BabakNYC said that there is no exact setting to what you are asking for and opening a case might help.
In the mean time i have written the below code as a work around hope it helps.

 ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
SET PAGE-NUM=NOLEAD
SET ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART
SET EMBEDHEADING=ON
SET GRAPHDEFAULT=OFF

-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_HEIGHT='4.21875';

Hi Addy,

Thanks for the update.

The data labels are showing wrong values. instead of $20.23 M, It is getting displayed as $202345.81 M. Since I have used Millions as unit on Y-axis, the data labels are wrong. I tried to correct it but not succeeded yet.

Thanks,

Hi Jarves,
In the above example you can see that I have created a Compute column which brings the $ value to Millions with 2 decimals.

Then I am using the pattern to set the data lables.
As I said it is a work around.

Thanks

Thanks Addy.

The computed column works.


Thanks,
Jarves
