Auto Scale in Number
Select true if you want to automatically scale the values that are of the Number data type when the values fall into the two ranges:
- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Report uses the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
- When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, Report uses scientific notation to scale the values.
The default value auto means that the setting follows that of the chart platform.
