Prefix Label

The Prefix Label card adds an optional short text that appears in front of the value — typically a currency symbol, a unit or a signed indicator.

Typical uses

  • Currency symbol$, , £ before the value when the measure format string does not already include one
  • Units, ~, ± to express approximations or tolerances
  • Trend indicator or driven by a conditional format rule based on variation

Positioning

The prefix is anchored to the left of the value and follows the value's position. When the value is dragged or repositioned through the Layout card, the prefix follows.

The End Spacing property controls how much horizontal room is left between the end of the prefix and the first character of the value. Increase it for an airier look, decrease to 0 for a tight composition.

Independent font

The prefix uses its own FontControl, independent from the value. This lets you combine, for example, a small $ prefix with a large bold value, or a light italic with a regular value.
