Hi all,
I have created clustered column chart & card visuals which shows different units in Y-axis with (M) and card visual with (K) as per the below snapshot.
can you please suggest why we are getting two different units in both card and bar chart?
Please suggest? is this the right approach?
suppose if we want to represent both the units in those charts. how can we achieve it?

Hi @rajendraongole1 ,

This is by design for now. Axis logic is slightly different than a global callout value. Axes get a format string for the axis tick interval, not the global aggregate. It must ensure the difference between ticks is noticeable in the label, and it creates its own format string and display units. For Card, a single aggregated number is used as input to Auto display units logic. Hence, different input, different output. Also, for Cartesian chart data labels, we share the axis display unit, for consistency, so they do match.

Hello there @rajendraongole1 ! In your clustered column chart, your [Sales] measure is formatted to display the values in Millions whereas in the Card visual it is formatted to display in thousands. You can edit both of these values to ensure they have the same scale in the "Format" pane in the "Data label" menu, on "Display units" option, like so:
Hope this answer solves your problem!
