Set the y-axis range
On charts, you can manually configure the y-axis range to be different from the search default. You can have multiple measures on the y-axis of many charts. You can manually set the y-axis range by clicking edit from the y-axis label drop-down, or from the chart configuration menu.

2500000to5000000to show only sales between $2.5M and $5M.The chart reorganizes itself to reflect the new y-axis range.
