Whenever i set the variable field for a slider it's really hard to get clean numbers for the steps on the scale. I have a min of 0 and a max of 131000000 and i get a scale like 0 - 43,666,666 - 87,333,333 - 131,000,000.
Is there an easy way to set it to clean numbers 0 - 50m - 100m - 150m and still have it tied to a field?
I think you can set it to a Value Mode of Continuous/Numeric, checkmark Static Step, and then enter 50,000,000 for the static step. I think there's a way to change the format of the number too, but I'm not thinking of how, other than dividing by 1,000,000 and sticking an m on the end. Not sure how well that would work, though. Anyway, that would be an expression instead of your field, and it would be your field divided by 1,000,000. Might work.

Thanks John that works pretty well. I had been playing with those setting but couldnt really get what I wanted. I then realized I had custom scale selected on Presentation tab. This was overriding my static step.
