Point Label Keywords Used in Charts
The following table lists keywords that you can enter into the Point Label Format text box when you are creating or editing a chart dashboard part.
All keywords must be entered in upper case.
Keyword | Description | Multiple Y Values | Formatting Allowed? |
#VALX | X value of data point. | No | Yes |
#VAL | Y values of the data point. | Yes | Yes |
#SERIESNAME | Series name. | No | No |
#LABEL | Data point label. | No | No |
#AXISLABEL | Axis data point label. | No | No |
#INDEX | Data point index. | No | Yes |
#PERCENT | Percentage of the data point Y value. | Yes | Yes |
#LEGENDTEXT | Legend text. | No | No |
#CUSTOMPROPERTY(customAttributeName) | Value of the named custom attribute. | No | No |
#TOTAL | Total of all Y values in the series. | Yes | Yes |
#AVG | Average of all Y values in the series. | Yes | Yes |

#LAST | Last data point of all Y values in the series. | Yes | Yes |
Point Label Keywords with Multiple Y Values
If a chart type contains more than one Y value, you can show Y value specific calculation in some keywords by appending the Y value position to the keyword.
For example, to show the open, close, high, and low values in a stock chart, enter the following: "#VALY, #VALY2, #VALY3, #VALY4" in the Point Label Format text box.
Point Label Keywords with Formatting
Several keywords allow formatting. To format the output of a keyword, at the end of the keyword, you can add a standard numeric format string or custom numeric format string encapsulated in curly brackets.
When you use a standard numeric format, the Eagle Portal uses your system's regional settings to display the calculated values in the local format, such as the Japanese Yen for currency. For example:
- To represent Y values as currency, enter "#VAL{C}" in the Point Label Format text box.
- To represent positive Y values as dollars with negative values shown as positive dollars encapsulated by parentheses, enter"#VAL{$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)}" in the Point Label Format text box.
The following table lists formatting options that can be used with the point label keywords.

"C" or "c" | Currency | Result: A currency value. | 123.456 ("C", en-US) -> $123.46 |
