    Data label on chart not displaying what I expect?

    I use option buttons above a chart to select the data to display (Revenue, PBIT, Volume). When I navigate to this chart, the data label format displays 1,567 instead of 1 567. If I click one of the option buttons, the format then displays correctly as 1 567? I have checked Regional Settings which appears to be correct.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Aland2929,

    It all depends on how you have it all setup. Do you have any code associated with it? Cold you upload a sample workbook with this issue?

    Re: Data label on chart not displaying what I expect?

    Thanks for your reply Winon. I do have code in the model but basically want to ensure that when I navigate to the sheet with the charts, the data labels are formatted with a space and not a comma. I have linked the data to the source which is formatted as I want it to display?
    Thanks in advance

    Repeat that formatting code in the Sheet Activate Event.

    Re: Data label on chart not displaying what I expect?

    Certainly, but I need to see a sample of the Code in your WorkBook, so as not to re-invent the wheel.
    Please could you upload a sample Workbook complete with the relevent Code?

    The workbook is complex with a lot of data so difficult to upload a sample file. I want the chart to display numbers with space separators not commas.

    Exactly my point. Could you then please post the Code you have with the CheckBox to correct the numberformat, to display a space instead of a comma? I shall then take it from there.

    Re: Data label on chart not displaying what I expect?

    No Andy it is not. The problem here is that I display data based on an option button selection and the data label is displayed as 5,678 but I want 5 678. The data that feeds the chart is formatted with a space. When I navigate to this sheet, I only get the correct data label after clicking a different option button to the one that is currently selected? I don't think it has anything to do with code though?
    Thanks in advance

    I have solved the problem by replacing "Linked to Source" with a custom format. Thanks to all for your interest.
