Version Information
Version Added: PowerPoint 2007
Syntax
expression .DisplayUnit
expression A variable that represents an Axis object.
Remarks
Using unit labels when charting large values makes your tick-mark labels easier to read. For example, if you label your value axis in units of hundreds, thousands, or millions, you can use smaller numeric values at the tick marks on the axis.
Example
