The following code example uses the Axes method to set the title of the primary axis of the current Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheetBase.

Private Sub SetAxisText()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55

    Me.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "B5"), _
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
    Me.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn

    Dim Axis1 As Excel.Axis = _
        CType(Me.Axes(Excel.XlAxisType.xlValue, _
        Excel.XlAxisGroup.xlPrimary), Excel.Axis)
    Axis1.HasTitle = True
    Axis1.AxisTitle.Text = "Sales Figures" 
End Sub

private void SetAxisText()
{
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    this.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "B5"],
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
    this.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn;

    Excel.Axis axis = (Excel.Axis)this.Axes(Excel.XlAxisType.xlValue,
        Excel.XlAxisGroup.xlPrimary);

    axis.HasTitle = true;
    axis.AxisTitle.Text = "Sales Figures";
