ChSeries ChDataLabelsCollection ChDataLabels

Represents the collection of ChDataLabels objects for a data series. Each ChDataLabels object represents a set  of data labels for a data series.

Using the ChDataLabelsCollection collection

Use the DataLabelsCollection property of the ChSeries object to return a DataLabelsCollection collection.

Use the Add method of the ChDataLabelsCollection collection to add a set of data labels to a data series.

The following example adds data labels to the first series in the first chart in Chartspace1, and then formats the data labels.

  Sub AddDataLabels()

    Dim serSeries1
    Dim dlSeries1Labels

    ' Set a variable to the first series of the first chart
    ' in Chartspace1.
    Set serSeries1 = ChartSpace1.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0)

    ' Add a set of data labels to the first series and return
    ' a DataLabels object.
    Set dlSeries1Labels = serSeries1.DataLabelsCollection.Add

    ' Set the number format of the data labels.
    dlSeries1Labels.NumberFormat = "0.00"

    ' Set the data labels to display the category
    ' name for the data point.
    dlSeries1Labels.HasCategoryName = True

    ' Set the data labels to display the value
    ' for the data point.
    dlSeries1Labels.HasValue = True

End Sub
