Our users have a funky requirement for the format of the numbers on the
y-axis of some of our line charts. To implement it, I figured I'd use the
'beforeDrawAxisLabel' script event. I put this line in the script, just
to test:
label.getCaption().setValue("1000");
Now I assumed this would set the value of ALL labels on the chart (both x
and y) to 1000, but it only set the x axis labels and the y axis labels
remained the same. Is there a different way to set y axis labels?
Thanks in advance

Yes, the interface does have a nice formatting UI but I couldn't quite get
it to do what I want, which is why I turned to the scripting approach.
Perhaps there is a way to do it in the UI... The users would like to see
long numbers abreviated so that, say, 10,000,000 would appear as 10m and
10,000 would appear as 10k. Can anybody think of a way to do this outside
of scripting? I gave them the exponential approach (10,000,000 as 10E6,
number format of ##E0) but they didn't like it.

You could do everything as k or m, but not mixing with the formatting UI.
For 10M, here is an example how to do it (see screenshot).
Thanks,

Thank you, that worked well enough to put it to the thousands (k), though
once our data starts getting in the billions the users will probably
complain but I'll cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks again!
