Ms-Chart Label Format Question

Question

I created a PieChart with the new Ms Chart Controls. How can I format the Labels (Point Values inside the Pie) like the folllowing: "LabelName AbsoluteValue (Percentage)"? For example: "Usa 856027 (56 %)".

Is this possible with the right format information in LabelFormat alone (How?) or do I have to use a custom label format (How?) ?

Thank you very much!

You can include keywords in the Label property, which can either be set in the GUI(through the Series Collection Editor) or in code. I would recommend setting it through the GUI since it would not require a full knowledge of the available keywords. If you instead want to set it in the code, it would look similar to this (assuming I understand what format you are requesting): Chart.Series(0).Label = "#ValX #Val (#ValPercentY{P0})".
