Formatting bar chart?

Hi,

I'm making a bar chart. How do I:

1. Add a $ in front of the Y-axis numbers

2. Format the x-axis so the words can be on multiple lines

3. Remove empty space on the right side of the chart

1. switch off auto formatting for the measure for y axis.  put this syntax: $#,##0

2.  does not seem to be possible in qlik.. https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Text-wrapping-is-needed-in-Bar-Line-chart-dimension-la...

3. is this because the chart is showing nulls? or too wide perhaps?

Please like the idea  @G3S  has shared in issue no 2, we are not getting enough votes to let Qlik hear our voice. Text wrapping or improvement in Bar/label space assignment is much needed in qlik charts. No 3 issue needs attention as well, Bars should spread evenly, I am too getting similar requests from my users. In dashboards may be you could improve it by reducing the chart width but not that easy in nprinting reports.

Will this syntax work no matter how many digits my number is? 

$#,##0
