Can not get Excel macros to format/save charts--help??? :(((((
Help??(( I've spent the last 5 days searching on this forum for problems
similar to what I have but no luck! I am trying to use Excel macro to create a simple bar chart and to format the chart type/etc...but the macro keeps erroring when I try to run it. The debug points to " ' Set ActiveChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(Chart1)" run time error 1004. No matter what I name the chart, it errors. I'm advanced at Excel but not editing macros with VB. I'm at my wits end and hope that someone can help me ( |

Hi,
You do not set the Activechart object in that way. It is automatically assigned by activating the chart. Activesheet.chartobjects("Chart 1").activate Now you can use the Activechart object, for example. Msgbox "Chart has " & Activechart.seriescollection.count & " series" Cheers Andy On 18/03/2010 21:04, AccessQuestion wrote: Help??(( I've spent the last 5 days searching on this forum for problems similar to what I have but no luck!

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your answer but I'm not sure I understand. This is my code and the debugger keeps stopping on ActiveChart.SetSourceData line. ' ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ' ActiveChart.SetSourceData -- mfg2529 "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, You do not set the Activechart object in that way.
