#Property Value

|---|---|
| String | A String, which represents the pattern. The default value is Empty. |
#Remarks
Use the LegendTextPattern property to define a pattern for displaying text by the legend. Various placeholders enclosed in braces correspond to the available display patterns. For example, a pair of placeholders specified together (e.g., {A} - {V}), will cause each data point to be represented by both its argument and value, separated by a hyphen.
A full list of available placeholders is detailed below.
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| {A} | Displays a series point argument. |
| {V} | Displays series point values. |
| {VP} | Displays series point values as percentages (for a Pie and Donut, Nested Donut series and Full-Stacked series). |
| {S} | Displays the name of the series. |
| {G} | Displays the name of a stacked group. |
| {W} | Displays the weight (for a Bubble series). |
| {V1} | Displays the first value (for a Range Area series). |
| {V2} | Displays the second value (for a Range Area series). |
| {VD} | Displays the duration between the first and second data point values (for a Range Area series). |
| {HV} | Displays the high value (for a Financial Series series). |

The Legend
Before specifying the {S} placeholder for a series, make sure a series name is specified in the Series.
You can also use standard and custom format specifiers, together with the placeholders (e.g., {V:F1}).
