Default How do I display data in a bar charted rounded to thousands?

If you don't want to change the values, but only the display, select and
right-click the data, choose format, then click on Number, and choose a
number tab like one of these

0,
0,k

The comma drops the last three digits, displaying the thousands rounded
to the nearest thousand, but the underlying values are unchanged.

Make another column rounding the y-values to thousands and chart this data
If first y-value is in B2 use in C2 =ROUND(B2,-3)
Select all the x-values; hold CTRL key and select all the new y-values;
make chart
