DisplayUnitLabel Object (PowerPoint)
Represents a unit label on an axis in the specified chart.
Version Information
Version Added: PowerPoint 2007
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
Note
Although the following code applies to Microsoft Word, you can readily modify it to apply to PowerPoint.
Use the DisplayUnitLabel property to return the DisplayUnitLabel object. The following example sets the display label caption to "Millions" on the value axis of the first chart in the active document, and then the example turns off automatic font scaling.
With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
If .HasChart Then
With .Chart.Axes(xlValue)
.DisplayUnit = xlMillions
.HasDisplayUnitLabel = True
With .DisplayUnitLabel
.Caption = "Millions"
.AutoScaleFont = False
End With
End With
End If
End With
