Default Is there a macro to create charts automatically?
Hi,

I have a sheet of data that relates to individual performance scores. Each
person has their data on one row which goes - Name, Team, Score 1, Target,
Score 2, Target, Score 3, Target, Score 4, Target.

I need to produce an individual graph for each person containing only the 4
score results. As there are over 120 individuals, is there a way, without
manually creating each one of using a macro or something to make chart
creation easier?

Select your range (including header row) and run this macro:

Sub MakeMyCharts()
'
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim Yaddr As String
Dim Y2addr As String
Dim Xaddr As String
Dim iRow As Long
Dim iSrs As Long
Dim iAddr As Long
Dim cht As Chart

Set ws = ActiveSheet
If TypeName(Selection) "Range" Then
MsgBox "Select the data range for the charts"
Exit Sub
End If
Set rng = Selection

For iRow = 2 To rng.Rows.Count

Set cht = Charts.Add
cht.Name = rng.Cells(iRow, 1).Value & " - " & rng.Cells(iRow, 2).Value
For iSrs = cht.SeriesCollection.Count To 1 Step -1
cht.SeriesCollection(iSrs).Delete
Next

With cht.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.Name = rng.Rows(iRow).Resize(1, 2)
Yaddr = "=("
Y2addr = "=("
Xaddr = "=("
For iAddr = 3 To 9 Step 2
Yaddr = Yaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","
Y2addr = Y2addr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow, iAddr +
1).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","
Xaddr = Xaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(1,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","
Next
Yaddr = Left$(Yaddr, Len(Yaddr) - 1) & ")"
Y2addr = Left$(Y2addr, Len(Y2addr) - 1) & ")"
Xaddr = Left$(Xaddr, Len(Xaddr) - 1) & ")"
.Values = Yaddr
.XValues = Xaddr
.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
End With

With cht.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.Name = "Target"
.Values = Y2addr
.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
End With

Next
End Sub

Thanks for this, only trouble is, when I run it, I get a Compile Error/Syntax
Error, with the following highlighted in Red;

Yaddr = Yaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","
Y2addr = Y2addr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow, iAddr +
1).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","
Xaddr = Xaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(1,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","

You have to watch the line wrapping in these newsgroup posts. Each of these
is a single line of code:


Yaddr = Yaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","


Y2addr = Y2addr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(iRow, iAddr +
1).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","


Xaddr = Xaddr & "'" & ws.Name & "'!" & rng.Cells(1,
iAddr).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) & ","

Further to this, I 've been asked to change the results to percentages. So
instead of the numerical score and target, I just need to show the four
percentages. I've tried copying and pasting the macro, but it doesn't work.
What changes do I need to make to get it working?
