Formatting decimal to currency not working on series data

[AJ]

I understand this is a relatively new product, but I'm running into a pretty odd issue with the chart not formatting decimal values from a Typed List into currency.

Here is what's on the front-end. Note, that for the DataFormatString in the Series' Label and Tooltip Appearance I've tried ${0}, {0:C}, ${0:0.00}, and a multitude of other options. However, it would show the entire decimal value (rather than rounding up on the last two digits) (see attached). What's interesting is that the Y-Axis label comes up perfectly fine.

This is what generates the data for the chart:

var qry = _ctx.VSalesRepCommissionGroupeds
    .Where(s => s.SurgeryDate.Value >= RadCommissionChartBeginOn)
    .OrderBy(s => s.SurgeryDate.Value)
    .Select(r => new
    {
        r.CommissionDue,
        SurgeryDate = r.SurgeryDate.Value.ToString("MMM yyyy")
    }).ToList();

radData = qry.GroupBy(r => r.SurgeryDate).Select(r => new RepCommissionChartData
{
    Commissions = r.Sum(x => x.CommissionDue),
    SurgeryDate = r.Key
}).ToList();

Now, if I change the line that generates the sum of CommissionDue to decimal.Round(r.Sum(x => x.CommissionDue), 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) it obviously rounds up the first two digits, but doesn't show a comma.

Shouldn't the front end format it using either of those formatting options or am I doing something wrong?
