Syntax

SetDataLabelPosition(Record_Name.Field_Name1, ...)

Description

Use the SetDataLabelPosition method to set the position of the data labels, which are set by the SetDataLabel method.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Record_Name.Field_Name1, ...	Specify the name of the record and one or more fields on that record that contain the data for the data label positions for the chart. Note: The order of fields specified must correspond to the number and order specified by the SetDataYAxis method.

The String value of this field must be one of these values:

Value	Description
center	Centered on the data item.
aboveMarker	Above the marker for the data item.*
belowMarker	Below the marker for the data item.*
beforeMarker	Before the marker for the data item.*
afterMarker	After the marker for the data item.*
insideBarEdge	Inside the edge of a bar chart data item.
outsideBarEdge	Outside the edge of a bar chart data item.
outsideSlice	Outside the slice of a pie chart data item.
auto	The chart engine determines the best position for the label based on the chart type, chart size, label size and other factors. Specifically, for the bar chart family of charts: On bar charts that aren’t stacked, setting the label's position to auto will act as insideBarEdge. On stacked bar charts, setting the label's position to auto will act as center.

* This value is not supported for any of the bar chart family of charts; on bar charts, the auto value is substituted instead.

Returns

None.
