Hi, I would like to format the axis values for Time Series visualization.  
For example if I choose for a series to display separate axis on the right side, the values on the axis are displayed with fractional numbers.

Very often this doesn't really make sense, that's why I would like to have only round numbers there or have them formatted.  
For the formatting I tried to use the Angular style formatting like {{value | number:0}} in the Template field on the Options tab but that didn't work.

Could you suggest any solution for this?

Hi @dillinzser,

Have you tried choosing `Data Formatter` as `Custom` (instead of `Number`)? Then you'll see additional `Format String` field where you can put custom [NumeralJS](http://numeraljs.com/#format) format.

Best,  
Oleg
