printing pie's dataLabels numbers with commas

Question

I'm trying to print numbers with commas (showing 9,000 instand of just 9000), this is the way I'm setting the format format: '{point.name}: {point.y}'

I cant find a way to get {point.y} into a function that will return the wanted result, I tried this way format: '{point.name}: '+ numberWithCommas(point.y) but then of course point is not defined I'm not sure how to handle it, any direction how can I make it work ?

thanks

You need to do two things:

set separator:

Highcharts.setOptions({
  lang: {
    decimalPoint: '.',
    thousandsSep: ','
  }
});

set point format, to use that separator:
```
format: '{point.name}: {point.y:,.0f}'
```

More about formatting string in Highcharts can be found in the DOCs ;)
