Retrieves the caption of a data series from its index.

    object.GetSeriesCaption index

#### Arguments

object
  Required. A Chart object.
index
  Required. An integer value that specifies the zero-based index of the series in the chart object.

#### Return Value

The GetSeriesCaption method returns a string value that contains the caption for the series specified by index.

#### Remarks

If the index argument refers to a series that does not exist in the chart object, the GetSeriesCaption method raises an invalid series index error.

- index must be superior or equal to 0.

The GetSeriesCaption method can return an empty string. This happens when the chart object contains series values without any corresponding caption, or when the series does not exist.

#### VBScript Sample Code

The following VBScript code enumerates the series stored in a chart object and displays their caption in an ASP page.

    'Fill the chart object with data and categories stored in the query string
    chart.SetDataFromQuery

    'Retrieve the number of series stored in the chart object
    n_series= chart.GetSeriesCount

    If n_series = 0 Then
      Response.Write "No series available"
    Else
      'Enumerate the series stored in the chart object
      For i = 0 to (n_series-1)
        Response.Write chart.GetSeriesCaption(i) & " is the Caption for series number " & i
      Next
    End If
