Chart Display Units

Hi, I have data ranging from a few hundred thousand to a few million.  In one chart I would like my display units to show for example 200K, 400K, 600K, 800K, then switch to 1M, 1.2M, 1.4M, etc.  Possible?

 

thanks,

 

Keith

Could I re-visit this issue briefly?  I have dynamic formatting working fine in a line chart, but want it to work on the y axis only and not on data labels.  It does not change to millions on the axis.  Here's the formula:  

IF([MSPriceMax] < 1000000, "$#,.K", "$#,,.00M").  Here's how it looks:
