Auto Scale in Number
The property takes effect for the Number category. It specifies whether to
automatically scale the values that fall into the two ranges:
When 1000 <= Value < 10^15, SI (International System of Units) Symbol is used to scale numbers and the following quantity unit symbols are used: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
When 0 < Value < 0.001 or Value >= 10^15, scientific notation is used to scale numbers.
The value "auto" means that the property setting follows that of the parent data container.
When the property is true: for the values that are to be scaled, the Format setting applies to the integer part of the values after scaled; if the specified format conflicts with the Auto Scale in Number property, for example, the values are displayed in percentage, then the Auto Scale in Number property is ignored.
