LeaderLines Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Represents leader lines on a chart. Leader lines connect data labels to data points.

Remarks

This object isn’t a collection; there’s no object that represents a single leader line.

This object applies only to pie charts.

Example

Use the LeaderLines property to return the LeaderLines object. The following example adds data labels and blue leader lines to series one on chart one. If no leader lines are visible this example code will fail. In this situation, you can manually drag one of the data labels away from the pie chart to make a leader line show up.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
    .HasDataLabels = True
    .DataLabels.Position = xlLabelPositionBestFit
    .HasLeaderLines = True
    .LeaderLines.Border.ColorIndex = 5
End With
