Does anyone know which property to change/set/add to change the label of the y axis on the time series chart component? ---

Hi @ray.crowder, to have a labeled Y-Axis, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve created an axis under the `axes` config for the trend that will use this axis. Make sure the name of the axis is selected for the trend. The axis will have a `label` config where you can provide label text and toggle the label visibility. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/7ec0a2f7da9844d061b7e8f7d610fb416c9f67d0.png) ---

Thanks Joshua. That was helpful, but I was not concise enough in my question. I meant the tick labels on the y-axis. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/6/62f982fcfb2caae2afb8538cac46dcabda877bac.png) ---

Oh, gotcha. Right now, those are auto-generated, but I have a feature request to allow a data format to be provided so you’ll have precise control over how the tick label data is displayed. ---

Has this been implemented yet? I’m trying to figure out how to do this in a chart I’m working on. ---

I would like to have this too. I'm got a float and it prints 6 decimal places. ---

What setting is the tick label format set to for showing “m” and “k” on large numbers? I’ve got values up to 700,000 but I can’t get them to display like that.. None of these seem to do the trick. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/4/341b0f1207d5752045b4c7c479a03d4c3caee2be.png) I’ve left the axis min/max to be auto (blank) but also tried forcing min =0 but no luck ---

Apparently we need to use SI units which isn’t an option (probably should be? ) `"~s"` → uses SI notation with k, M, G, T (no unnecessary decimals) `".2s"` → SI notation with 2 significant digits `".3s"` → SI notation with 3 significant digits, etc. ---

I have no idea what I was doing , but It worked fine playing with these settings. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/e/7ef769bf0dda83e060a1f7aaf2d891cad7d7cdec.png)
