Change numbers to display as thousands or milions

I created a table using the enter data option. In that table I added some sales figures. I would like to display those figures as thousands or millions. For example 2.5M how can I achieve this?

Hi @akhaliq7 ,

 

You have an option in the Format Visual were you can choose the Display units type:

You can choose Thousands

Or Millions

Not sure if it's an update to power BI but I had to change the series from All to something specific to get the Display units selection to appear. Replying to this incase anyone runs into my issue as this is where I found the initial help.
