Add $ prefix to numbers in Bar charts

This is not okay:

The format I need is:

$10,000 and $7,830  (notice the $ sign and commas).

 

 

This is something I could achieve in a Pie Chart, passing the value to a gallery and adding:

 

Text(ThisItem.'ColumnName',"[$-en-US]$###,###")

 

and then taking the Chart values from that gallery. When I wanted to replicate the same on a bar chart, it just didn't work.

    Hello Mando, 

    Thank you for your post. 

    In terms of changing the charting control functionality in Power Apps, please consider posting a suggestion in https://ideas.powerapps.com so the engineering team can add it our backlog. 

    As a work around consider using the  Power BI control.  You can find documentation on this control here: 

    Power BI tile control in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

     

    Thank you for using the Power Apps Community, 

    Charles Sterling

    Unfortunately, it seems that the series property cannot be formatted - as it is auto formatted within PowerApps:

    Doesn't work. As I said, I already tried this.

    I created a gallery giving this format to the labels... and the bar chart is still showing the numbers without the commas and the $ sign to the left.

    This only worked on a pie chart, but I need it in a Bar chart.

    Try something like the following:

     

     

     

    "$" & Text(ThisItem.'ColumnName,"#,##0.00")

     

     

    343434  should return  $343,434.00.

    You can remove the decimal places.

     

    "$ " & Text(YourValue, "[$-en-US]###,###,###")
