#Property Value

Type Description
DataLabelCollection

A DataLabelCollection containing data labels with settings different from chart defaults.

#Remarks

To specify data label options for all series in a particular ChartView, use the ChartView.DataLabels property. The CustomDataLabels enables you to change data label settings for a specific series and for particular data points within the series. To change a data label for a specific data point, add an item with an index equal to the index of the data point to the data label collection. After that, change the properties of the added item as required.

View Example

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask3"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.ColumnClustered, worksheet["B2:D4"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["H2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["N14"];

// Display data labels for the second series.
chart.Series[1].CustomDataLabels.ShowValue = true;
chart.Series[1].UseCustomDataLabels = true;
