  Hi,
  
  To see more information along the lines of the formatting issue, please refer to the following article:
  
  http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radchart-axis-labels.html
  
  Additionally, another option is to access the textblocks along the axis, and set the text directly, if none of the format strings are applicable.
  I hope these options are applicable for you.

  Hi,
  
  I was able to do this finally programmatically from code-behing 
  
  Using FormatCurrency Function
  
  

  RadChart1.Chart.Series(0).Items(item).Label.TextBlock.Text = FormatCurrency(DirectCast(chartDS.Tables(0).Rows(item).Item("Profit"), Integer), 0, TriState.False, TriState.False,).ToString()

  
  
  Thanks
  
  Best Regarding,
  Mahmoud

  Hi Mahmoud,
  
  We are glad that you figured this out on your own. Aside from your solution here's how you can do this - for formatting purposes RadChart exposes the DefaultLabelValue property. You can read more about it in our help topic.
