Examples

// Set the chart title font to Calibri, size 10, bold, and the color red.
await Excel.run(async (context) => { 
    const title = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sheet1").charts.getItem("Chart1").title;
    title.format.font.name = "Calibri";
    title.format.font.size = 12;
    title.format.font.color = "#FF0000";
    title.format.font.italic =  false;
    title.format.font.bold = true;
    title.format.font.underline = "None";
    await context.sync();
});

Properties

bold

Represents the bold status of font.

color

HTML color code representation of the text color (e.g., #FF0000 represents Red).

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

italic

Represents the italic status of the font.

name

Font name (e.g., "Calibri")

size

Size of the font (e.g., 11)

underline

Type of underline applied to the font. See Excel.ChartUnderlineStyle for details.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.ChartFont object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.ChartFontData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
