DefaultLabelValue

This article is obsolete. The Chart item is now superseded by the more advanced Graph item. The Graph item is most often used for building powerful OLAP/Pivot charts.

DefaultLabelValue ChartSeries.DefaultLabelValue specifies a format for label values that will be displayed automatically if you do not specifically assign text to a chart series item.

Use "#Y" or "#X" to display numbers from the X or Y axis respectively
Use "#%" for a percentage of the total sum (of all items).
Use "#SUM" to display the total of all items.
"#STSUM" displays the sum of a stacked series.
"#SERIES" displays the series name.
"#ITEM" displays the item name.
You can also use the formatting described in this MSDN article Standard Numeric Format Strings. Use curly brackets to contain the standard numeric formats. For example, you can display Y values as currency by setting DefaultLabelValue ChartSeries.DefaultLabelValue to "#Y{C}". See examples in the figure below.
