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.

Thanks Yavor,

I figured out what I really want is Series Item Labels 

Can you tell me how to put a format for it ????
I can put appearance for it very easily But I can't see anyway to put a custom format for it.

I'm really stuck here,
Can you help me with this problem .

Best Regards,

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

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.
