using points label masks

[User (Legacy)]

I have a pie chart and I want to display points labels.

My legend values are fairly long i.e "11 - Description ..........", "12 -

Description......", "13...Description..."

When I display the points label, I want to use a mask to display only the

first to characters of my legend string (In essence the number).  Is there

any way that I can do that?

Thanks

We do not support substrings in the point label masks but you can use the 

Tag property and assign any string you want as the tag for each pie slice. 

Then you will set the PointLabelMask to %L (or use %L in a more complex 

mask) to show the tag.
