Mixpanel now allows you to set the units for each of your metrics. You can set the unit, the precision, and whether or not you want an abbreviated value. This gets updated for tooltips as well as in the table below the chart.

Some common uses for this:
- create a % based formula, and add the % unit so its clear what the metric is measuring
- revenue based metrics, adding a $ symbol to know what currency is involved

style={{position: 'absolute', 'top': 0, 'left': 0, 'width': '100%', 'height': '100%'}}>
</iframe>
</div>

You can also save the unit to a formula, so that future uses of that formula will already be configured with the right unit. You can learn more in documentation [here](/docs/features/chart-customization#metric-units)

Note: this feature is available only for enterprise plans currently.

![segment coloring](/changelog/segment-coloring.png)

Select the colors of various segments in your reports. You can the color for a particular segment by clicking the legend at the top of the chart. Choose between colors that exist in the theme, or choose an entirely separate color.

Some common uses for this:
- highlight a particular segment for emphasis
- on boards with the same breakdown repeatedly, set the colors for segments so they can be aligned across the board

style={{position: 'absolute', 'top': 0, 'left': 0, 'width': '100%', 'height': '100%'}}>

</div>

This color is available on both boards and reports, so you can easily update the segment colors for a report on a board as well. You can learn more in documentation [here](/docs/features/chart-customization#segment-coloring)

For every metric in your report, they by default assigned to the left y-axis. To visualize correlation between different metrics on different scales, it can be useful to use a secondary y-axis on the right. You can select the left or right buttons for each metric to choose which axis the metric is assigned to.
