Default decimal point position for less than 1 million


I have a chart based on a worksheet with values both above and below
1,000,000. The chart labels show values above 1 million correctly
(e.g., 2,500,000 is represented as 2.5 M) but for values under 1
million, it puts the decimal point after the "M" rather than befor the
number (e.g., 520,000 should be represented as .52 M, but instead looks
like "52M."

Anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks!

That must be the result of a custom format that you (or someone else)
created.

You may want to check the format (double-click the y-axis and select the
Number tab) and consider something like
[<1000000]0.0,,"M";0,,"M"
