Decimal Formatting Control for Waterfall Charts in TBM Studio

We are requesting the ability to suppress decimal values on Waterfall chart data labels within TBM Studio's reporting views. Specifically, we would like monetary totals (e.g., Total Monthly Spend) to display as whole numbers rather than with decimal precision.

Executive-facing financial reports require clean, presentation-ready formatting. Decimal values on spend figures introduce visual noise and reduce readability for senior leadership audiences. At the scale of technology spend reporting, sub-dollar precision does not add analytical value and detracts from the clarity of the communication.

Waterfall charts in TBM Studio currently render all numeric values with decimal places. There is no configuration option available to disable or suppress this formatting. This limitation has been confirmed through both in-product review and a search of the current IBM documentation
