Default Chart VBA

Thanks for getting back to me, Andy.

In this case
topright = E5 and
bottomleft = Q9

The goal is for Row6 to be plotted on the primary axis and for Rows
7-9 to be plotted on the secondary access.

Here is a smattering of the chart data I use:
E F G
H I
5 Mar-00 Apr-04 Jun-04
Apr-05
6 # of Bids/Quotes Received 768 117 1,050 172
7 % Submitted of Received 17.2% 8.5% 9.6% 19.2%
8 % Won to Date of Submitted 66.8% 2.5% 5.9% 8.2%
9 % Won to Date of Received 1.5% 2.0% 4.8% 4.3%





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another potential problem here is that my enduser has requested a
custom-type chart called "Lines on Two Axes" and I am unfamiliar with
how to code for this type of chart

I am able to create this chart manually. The "record" code in concert
with my lack of experience with this type of chart is a problem.

Again, thanks-
JR

Hi,

Does the range defined by topleft and bottomright have enough columns to
have series placed on the secondary axis?
I would imagine trying to set the properties of the secondary axis that
does not exist would cause problems.

Default Chart VBA

Hi,

This code will produce your chart.
Don't worry about using the built-in custom type. You can create the
same thing yourself.

Sub Jimmy()

topleft = "E5"
bottomright = "I9"

Charts.Add
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Chart").Range( _
topleft & ":" & bottomright), PlotBy:=xlRows
ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Chart"
With ActiveChart
.ChartType = xlLine
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Bid/Quote Success Rate"
' move to secondary axis
For lngseries = 2 To .SeriesCollection.Count
.SeriesCollection(lngseries).AxisGroup = 2
Next

.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = _
"# of Bids/Quotes Received"
.Axes(xlCategory, xlSecondary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = _
"% Submitted of Received or % Won to Date of Submitted/Received"
End With

End Sub

Cheers
Andy
