Yes. Adjust the major and minor values to be the increments you want. If necessary, adjust the minimum and maximum values to reflect the top and bottom values on the axis.
There's also a "display units" dropdown on that Scale tab where you can opt to display the units in hundreds or thousands or millions or whatever. I find this especially useful when I'm working with charts where there are lots and lots of zeros. Using the "display units" option eliminates those.
If you need dollar symbols or additional decimal places or whatever format, choose the Number tab and select your number format there.

Okay, so I simply adjust the scale of the value axis to the increment I like?
If I want the $ to be displayed in thousand dollar increments, then I would
adjust the minor and major values to reflect a lower value, like 1,000 and
2,000 respectivley?
Thanks
