Aligning two chart plot areas - simple but tricky!
I have two dynamic lined charts whose chart areas are aligned; however, because the y-axis values change dramatically when graphing different ranges, the chart plot areas misalign (Y-axis shift to the right to accomodate larger y-values displayed next to vertical axis). This annoying behavior essentially puts the the two charted lines in the two charts out of alignment. Locking the chart areas by code does not help, since the plot area is the culprit! Any help on how to align the actual plot areas by VBA code? (to be clear, the aligned areas must not include the y-axis values which can alternate between 1-100 range to 1-1000,000 range) Thank you in advanice for your valuable assistance.

You have to dig into the object model to get the plot inside area. I have
posted a workbook with some fairly simple code that does this: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/AlignCharts.html Whenever possible, I avoid this technique and use a combination chart designed for the specific application. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services - Tutorials and Custom Solutions - http://PeltierTech.com/ 2006 Excel User Conference, 19-21 April, Atlantic City, NJ http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ExcelUserConf06.html _______ "Alseikhan" wrote in message ...
