Example
Note
Although the following code applies to Microsoft Word, you can readily modify it to apply to PowerPoint.
Use the DataLabels method to return the DataLabels collection. The following example sets the number format for data labels on the first series of the first chart in the active document.
With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
If .HasChart Then
With Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
.HasDataLabels = True
.DataLabels.NumberFormat = "##.##"
End With
End If
End With
Note
Although the following code applies to Microsoft Word, you can readily modify it to apply to PowerPoint.
Use DataLabels(Index), where Index is the data label index number, to return a single DataLabel object. The following example sets the number format for the fifth data label in the first series of the first chart in the active document.
With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
If .HasChart Then
With Chart.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels(5)
.NumberFormat = "0.000"
End With
End If
End With
