You may want to display unit of measures according to the scenario described in the dashboard to eliminate ambiguity - for example in thousands, millions, or billions. The display unit can be modified from the Data Binding panel or from the Inspector panel for the selected scenario.

The priority of Display Unit property in the Inspector panel is higher than that in the Data Binding panel. This implies that when display unit property is not set in the Inspector panel, then the scenario will use the property specified in the Data Binding panel.

You can change the display unit for Data Labels and Value Axis depending on the selected scenario.
