try a custom markup expression:
add to config:

$MarkupExpr['numfmt'] = 'number_format($args[0], $args[1], $args[2], $args[3])';


use like {(numfmt {$:Sum} 2)}

first argument is floating point number.
second argument is integer for decimal places.
third argument is string for decimal point.
fourth argument is string for thousand separator.

I made no attempt to clean input values.
