Hi,

You can use following in the textbox:-

='Total Cost = ' & your_expression & ' Million Dollars'

Here your_expression represents the expression that you are using for calculating total cost. If you want to convert it into million then just divide by 1000000 and you should get the result.

you can also use text in chart option on the presention tab instead of a textbox to plot text inside a chart.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi,

Why dont you try the "Text in Chart" under the Presentation Tab.

Then you can try ='Total Cost = ' & your_expression & ' Million Dollars'

You can enter the expression in a new line like a normal text box.

Then if you want to adjust the size of the text, hold the Ctrl + Shift key and resize as you want.

Try this and let me know if this works.

Thanks,
