await Excel.run(async (context) => {
const sheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sample");

load(options)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(options?: Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendFormatLoadOptions): Excel.ChartLegendFormat;Parameters
Provides options for which properties of the object to load.
Returns
load(propertyNames)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Excel.ChartLegendFormat;Parameters
- propertyNames
-
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
Returns
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
select?: string;
expand?: string;
}): Excel.ChartLegendFormat;Parameters
- propertyNamesAndPaths
-
{ select?: string; expand?: string; }
propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Returns
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: Interfaces.ChartLegendFormatUpdateData, options?: OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions): void;Parameters
- properties
- Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendFormatUpdateData
A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.
- options
- OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions
Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.
Returns
void
set(properties)
Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
set(properties: Excel.ChartLegendFormat): void;Parameters
- properties
- Excel.ChartLegendFormat
Returns
void
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's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.ChartLegendFormat object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendFormatData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendFormatData;
