+# How to show the leader line on Excel chart using XlsIO?
+
+Step 1: Create a New C# Console Application Project.
+
+Step 2: Name the Project.
+
+Step 3: Install the [Syncfusion.XlsIO.Net.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.XlsIO.Net.Core) NuGet package as reference to your .NET Standard applications from [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org).
+
+Step 4: Include the following namespaces in the **Program.cs** file.
+
+```csharp
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+using Syncfusion.XlsIO;
+```
+
+Step 5: Include the below code snippet in **Program.cs** to show the leader line on Excel chart.
+
+```csharp
+using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
+{
+    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
+    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
+    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
