Custom Format Currency

Hi Community, 

 

I have formatted my dollar values as $#,##,,.0\M in the model tab under Properties to make it appear as Millions everywhere. 

In a scatter plot that I am using, the axis appears like this-

How do I fix this to get the

 

expected -

Hi @raimon ,

 

After formatting, the format of the data will conflict with the display unit in the x-axis attribute. You can copy the previously unformatted columns as the x-axis, and set the display unit in the x-axis attribute.

@raimon I think what you need to do is to create another column and divide your original column with one million to convert it into millions and then use the format provided by @amitchandak and use this new column on x-axis

@amitchandak - I am already using that. The X-axis is not looking very clean if I do that.
