Format Tab
Use this tab to specify the data format of the labels.
Category & Format
The two boxes list the category types and the formats of each category that Designer provides by default. Select a category and a format for this category, then select Add to add it as the format of the category. You can add only one format for each category.
Properties
The text box shows the properties of the format that you select in the Format box. If the default formats Designer provides for a category cannot meet your requirement, you can define your own format in the text box and select Add to add it as the format of the category.
Auto Scale in Number
Specify whether to automatically scale the Number values which fall into the following two ranges:
- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Designer applies the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
- When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, Designer uses scientific notation to scale the values.
By default, Designer selects "auto" for the option, meaning, Designer applies the setting that you specify for the same property on the chart in the Report Inspector for the values. If you select "true", Designer applies the specified format to the integer part of the values after scaling them; however, if the specified format conflicts with the logic of Auto Scale in Number, for example, the values display in percentage, Designer ignores the Auto Scale in Number setting. Select "false" if you do not want to scale the values.
