Hello,

I know how to do this using vba:

Sub renameChart()

ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "Chart 7"

End Sub

Highlight the chart in question and run this code.

HTH,

Excel assigns a name to each new chart object on a
worksheet as they are created (Chart 1, Chart 2, ...).
If a chart is deleted the next chart created is assigned
the next sequential number, so if the last chart built
was "Chart 7" and you delete it and add another chart, the
next chart is assigned "Chart 8." I would like to
rename "Chart 8" to "Chart 7." Is there any way to
accomplish this?

Thanks,

LB
