DisplayUnitLabel object (Excel)

Represents a unit label on an axis in the specified chart.

Remarks

Unit labels are useful for charting large values—for example, in the millions or billions. You can make the chart more readable by using a single unit label instead of large numbers at each tick mark.

Example

Use the DisplayUnitLabel property of the Axis object to return the DisplayUnitLabel object. The following example sets the display label caption to Millions on the value axis on Chart1, and then it turns off automatic font scaling.

With Charts("Chart1").Axes(xlValue) 
 .DisplayUnit = xlMillions 
 .HasDisplayUnitLabel = True 
 With .DisplayUnitLabel 
 .Caption = "Millions" 
 .AutoScaleFont = False 
 End With 
End With
