change series or line color in excel 2007 vba
I've done this hundreds of times in 2003, but in 2007 I'm hitting some snags.
I think it has to do with the chart styles found in excel 2007. I'm trying to change the color of a series in my line graph using the following code: Set ch = Worksheets("Chart").ChartObjects(1) Set objSeries = ch.Chart.SeriesCollection(1) objSeries.Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 127, 0) But, this isn't working at all. Nothing is happening to the line. I'm able to do other things to the series, such as change the marker style, the marker color, the line style, but not the line color. Any ideas??? |

change series or line color in excel 2007 vba
This works:
objSeries.Border.Color = RGB(255, 127, 0) - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Nick" wrote in message ...

change series or line color in excel 2007 vba
Thanks!! That worked. One more question. Do you happen to know why the
border object does not show up when using intellisense in the VBA window of Excel 2007? That makes it seem as though the border object has been removed from the 2007 object model.

Hi,
In VBE press F2 to display object browser. Right click and pick Show Hidden Members. Border is now there. Also did you notice how Jon's suggested work around then makes your line of code work! If you step through the code you should see the line go black and then Orange, or what ever your colour is. objSeries.Border.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0) objSeries.Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 127, 0) Cheers Andy Nick wrote: Thanks!!

change series or line color in excel 2007 vba
Hello Nick,
I am new to using Macros in Excel and am trying to set the colour of a marker depending on its value. For example: if the value in the table is less than 4 the colour is red, if between 4 and 7 it should be yellow and if between 7 and 10 the value is green. Have you assigned colours to markers based on this type of criteria? Would you have a sample piece of code that could help me out?
