Hello,

Does anyone know how we could program an Excel macro to add a space in front of the percent sign in the data labels?

Thanks!

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello,
    A macro may not be necessary.
    We can choose a custom format for the data labels.
    For example: 0,00" "%% if 2 decimals are desired. Be careful to include the space inside the quotes.

    Hello, without a macro, it would be enough to do it in the spreadsheet, with a macro something like this: Public Sub EspaceDevantEtiquette() Dim nbpts As Long, nupt As Long Dim etiq As String With ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(1) nbpts = .Points.Count For nupt = 1 To nbpts etiq = .Points(nupt).DataLabel.Characters.Text etiq = " " & etiq .Points(nupt).DataLabel.Characters.Text = etiq Next nupt End With End Sub. Good luck.

    Oh yeah!

    Thanks ccm81, I’ve slightly modified your macro since the space had to be before the % (which was at the end of the label text, in my case). The final code is:

    Sub EspaceDevantPourcent()
    Dim nbpts As Long, nupt As Long
    Dim etiq As String
    With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1)
    nbpts = .Points.Count
    For nupt = 1 To nbpts
    etiq = Left(.Points(nupt).DataLabel.Characters.Text, .Points(nupt).DataLabel.Characters.Count - 1)
    etiq = etiq & " %"
    .Points(nupt).DataLabel.Characters.Text = etiq
    Next nupt
    End With
    End Sub

    @tontong : I’m not sure if it’s possible, since Excel (2003) generates the percentages in the charts from the data tables themselves (numerical, in my case, and not already as percentages).

      I'm not sure that's possible
      But I am. The generated percentages remain data labels, and it is possible to choose the format of these labels.

      @tontong
      greetings
      he asked for a macro, so ...

      @moi35534
      if tontong says something about the charts, there’s a good chance it’s correct.....
