Charts: Advanced Formatting for X and Y Axis

We’re excited to introduce new advanced formatting options for your chart axes. Now you can precisely control the numerical display for both X and Y axes in your charts, making your data visualization clearer and more tailored to your needs.

Key Highlights

Formatting Settings Button: For every applicable axis, you’ll see a dedicated “Formatting Settings” button that gives you complete control over number, currency, or percent displays.
Customizable Modal: Clicking the button opens a modal where you can adjust settings such as precision, decimal and thousands separators, large number abbreviations, and even the currency code when needed.
Smart Defaults: If you choose not to customize, the system will automatically use formatting options pulled from the first numeric field in your Values section, and will continue to auto-adjust unless you’ve made a manual change.

How It Works

For each supported chart type - including dashboard views, standalone charts, and embedded widgets - a “Formatting Settings” button appears on any numeric axis that can be formatted.
When you click the button, a modal appears displaying all available formatting options.
Select your desired formatting type (Number, Currency, or Percent) and further adjust specific settings like precision and separators to suit your data.
The system initially applies default formatting based on the first numeric value entered, and it will update automatically as field orders change until you open the modal and set your own preferences.
Once you define your custom settings, they remain consistent even if you rearrange chart fields later on.

This enhancement ensures your charts are not only more visually appealing but also perfectly formatted to highlight your key data insights.
