Examples

The following code illustrates how to access the IChartDataLabels and set leader lines to show.

        using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
        {
            //Create worksheet
            IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;

            IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
            IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

            //Add data
            sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Jan";
            sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Feb";
            sheet.Range["C1"].Text = "Mar";
            sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "10";
            sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "20";
            sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "30";    

            //Create chart
            IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();

            //Set range
            chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:C2"];

            //Set chart type
            chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.Pie;

            //Get the chart serie
            IChartSerie serie = chart.Series[0];

            //Get serie data labels
            IChartDataLabels dataLabels = serie.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels;

            //Set the data label to show the values
            dataLabels.IsValue = true;

            //Set data label position to outside
            dataLabels.Position = ExcelDataLabelPosition.Outside;

            //Set the data label to show the leader lines
            dataLabels.ShowLeaderLines = true;

            //Save and Dispose    
            workbook.SaveAs("chart.xlsx");
            workbook.Close();
        }

ValueFromCellsRange

Gets or sets a boolean value indicating whether to display value form cells range for data labels.

Declaration

IRange ValueFromCellsRange { get; set; }

Property Value

Type
IRange

Examples

The following code illustrates how to access the IChartDataLabels and set to shows the value form cells range.

        using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
        {
            //Create worksheet
            IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
            application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
            IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
            IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

            //Add data
            sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Jan";
            sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Feb";
            sheet.Range["C1"].Text = "Mar";
            sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "10";
            sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "20";
            sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "30";
            sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "15";
            sheet.Range["B3"].Value = "25";
            sheet.Range["C3"].Value = "35";

            //Create chart
            IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();

            //Set range
            chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:C3"];

            //Set chart type
            chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.Column_Clustered;

            //Get the chart serie
            IChartSerie serie = chart.Series[0];

            //Get serie data labels
            IChartDataLabels dataLabels = serie.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels;

             //Set the data label to show the value form cells. 
            dataLabels.IsVlaveFromCells = true;

            //Set the data label to show the value form cells range.
            datalabels.ValueFromCellsRange= sheet["F5:H5"];

            //Save and Dispose    
            workbook.SaveAs("chart.xlsx");
            workbook.Close();
