I believe ThinkCell can do this, so I'm hoping there's a way to trick PPT
into doing it too.
Thank you!
If they are Excel charts , then you could add formula to cells that formats
the entered value to divide by 1000 and use those for your data for the chart.
I'm guessing that you could create the chart in Excel instead.
Put the real data in one worksheet or section of a worksheet then copy/paste it
to another. In the copy, apply formatting that gives you the results you want,
then create your chart from that data instead.

Apply it by right-clicking the data label and going to the number tab, then
to the Custom category. Type $0,"k" in the "type" box and hit OK.
Jon Peltier (first link below) has a great page of information about number
formats, and he spells out thousands, millions, etc., specifically toward
the bottom of the page. The Office Online article will also give you a good
overview so you can understand what's going on with the dollar sign and the
K inside quotation marks.
