How to Show the Vertical Axis in terms of Lakhs in BAR CHART,SSRS Report


 I have the created the bar chart report using SSRS. Here i can able to display the each columns in terms of lakhs and expression is shown below.
="Rs "& (round(Fields!value.Value/100000,2))&" Lakh".
Put the expression =round(Fields!value.Value/100000,2)) in series properties under value filed.
The other way is create a calculated filed let’s say Calc_Value in your dataset and use this expression=round(Fields!value.Value/100000,2))
Now use this calculated field Calc_Value everywhere as per your requirement.
