Legend disappears from chart.
Hi:
I have a workbook (Excel97) that has a spider chart with 14 dots. I have code that sets the color of each dot according to the score the dot represents. The dot values are set by a single series of cells. I go through the legend items to change the dot color. Everything worked fine for quite sometime, but now whenever one the users makes changes to the scores (on separate worksheets in the same workbook) then goes back to the spider chart, all the legend entries have dissapeared save 1. Now, all dots have the color of the one legend key, and the code can not find the other legend items. Anyone with clues as to why the legend entries are falling off would be greatly appreciated. I should note that I can not replicate this problem on my computer. |

Legend disappears from chart.
In order to use the separate legend entries to format colors of each point,
the Vary Colors by Point setting must be selected. If somehow this setting is canceled (who knows what your users may be doing!), the points will revert to the same format. I suspect that if you format the points rather than the legend entries, you will not be susceptible to this kind of unformatting. You should be able to adapt the technique in my Conditional Charting example to a radar chart: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...nalChart1.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ wrote in message ...
