and so on, we can create a legend with the word "millions" and then change the labels to 1, 2,

As an example, the code:
Sub DisplayUnitLabel()

With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue)
.DisplayUnit = xlMillions
.HasDisplayUnitLabel = True
With .DisplayUnitLabel
.Caption = "millions"
.Font.Size = 14
End With

End With
End Sub
produces the chart in Figure 21-11. Note that the value axis is labeled with millions as the legend
indicates.
