radius.

if you want to separate the orders of magnitude on the left side of the decimal.
-
Currency:
Displays the data point value as a monetary amount. Select the currency unit symbol from the Symbol pop-up menu. In the Decimals
field, specify how many decimal places you want to appear. To display negative values preceded by a minus sign or in parentheses,
choose –100 or (100) from the pop-up menu. Select Separator if you want to separate the orders of magnitude on the left side
of the decimal.

Choosing an option such as Halves or Quarters represents the values as a portion of the total pie, rounded to the nearest
division you selected.
