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.
