Chart Title Manipulation With Macro Code
Sep 2, 2006
I have a program that updates values quarterly when run. The spreadsheet that it works with also contains a couple of pie charts that correspond to the updated data. the charts only have one series with category values. I recorded a macro to see the code excel uses for creating a new chart and tried to modify the statements to my needs but have been running into runtime error 1004 ("Method ' Cells' of Object '_Global' failed"). The code is as follows I don't have any trouble until the last two statements.
Sub Chart_Updater()
Sheets(Chart1var).Select
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
If Chart1var = "COLI VUL 1 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 1 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 2 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 2 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 7 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 7 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
The variables fundtr1, fundtr2, and emptycolvar are public, and are all returning values, so there is no problem there. Also I can't use ranges like "A1:F7" because the range needs to be variable.

I'm using concatenate to name a chart title. My problem is that when I concatenate two dates I lose the date format. I'm after a title which looks like 06 December 2007 - 13 December 2007
I'm actually getting 39422 - 39429
The cells have been formatted in date format but lose this when concatenated.
Is there a sollution?

I have a pivot table which I update on a regular basis. There's also routine during the pivot table refresh to assign variables to the minimum and maximum dates I include in the range.
Here's what I'm looking for - The chart title needs to be two separate lines. It should look something like this:
Labor Operations performed from min_date to max_date
(labor op code, description, total ops)
By themselves, I have no problem doing this. What I can't figure out is how to format the font of the first line of the title to have different characteristics from the second line. The second line is sort of a descriptor of the part in bold (in an attempt to keep my boss from asking me questions about what he's looking at)

Is there a simple way (without writing code) to have a chart title equal the file (workbook) name? For example a formula to write in the 'Chart Options' 'Chart Title' box?

I am creating many graphs. I have already split my data so I can use CurrentRegion.I want each graph to have a different title using the text value of a cell which would be (6 * j - 5, 2) inside the For/To, but I can't get it to work no matter how much I tinker.This is the code as is without any of my attempts inside to clutter it up.
VB:
Dim p As Long p = Sheets("ForWeb").UsedRange.Rows.Count For j = 1 To (p - 1) / 4 ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLine ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Cells(6 * j - 5, 5).CurrentRegion ActiveChart.Parent.Cut Cells(6 * j - 5, 1).Select ActiveSheet.Paste Next

I've found several threads describing how to make a chart title dynamic by entering a cell reference into the formula bar with the chart title selected. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have VBA "code" a formula into a chart title that would be a concatenation of several strings. Ideally, I'd like to specify part of the title from a variable, and another part from a user-specified range, as in the following snippet from a module of mine:
ChartSubtitleText = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5")
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Characters.Text = ChartTitleText & Chr(10) & ChartSubtitleText
where ChartTitleText is a string variable that is passed to the Sub. This works fine and correctly builds the title block during execution of the macro, but I'd like to modify the capability to allow the user to enter a new value in Sheet1!A5 and have all of the charts update dynamically without re-executing the macro. Is there a way to have VBA create the chart and build the Chart Title with a formula that will allow for dynamic updating? I've tried having it enter the following line into the formula bar, but get errors: =CONCATENATE(ChartTitleText, CHAR(10), Sheet1!A5)

I have a very simple template which plots out means and standard errors of a treatment structure. The input is from an analysis of variance so I want to have the significance levels dispalayed in the title. This is simple for a single col of data but when there are more then one it doesn't use a cell to populate the chart title.
From the sheet I've attched the first and second chart have dynamic titles, if you change cell F10 from 0.364 to 0.001 the title on the second chart will change to "Input (**)" as it uses M19 for the title. The problem is that for the 3rd chart titled "CV*TR (NS)" any change has to be done manually (change cell F15 to 0.04 and this changes cell J43 to "CV*TR (*)".

'Client 1, Jan 07'
'Client 2, Jan 07'
'Client 3, Jan 07'
'Client 4, Jan 07',
Would you be able to change 'Jan 07' to Jan 08' on all of the above whilst keeping the variable client name, in a single batch process?

I am having difficulty figuring out how to get my chart title to automatically update when my chart changes via filtered criteria. I can get it to change by clicking the title bar on the chart, but would like the title to automatically update as soon as I select new criteria and the chart changes.

Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???

I am trying to make the contents of a cell into a chart title.I know I can do it like this...
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=tab_name!R2C1"
However, I am trying to use the same macro on several different tabs in the same EXCEL worksheet. Obviously, I can't have the tab name in the macro. But, I don't get a title at all when I try to remove it like this...
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=R2C1"
or
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=A2"
Is this possible? I am (kinda new at) using EXCEL2010.

I am working on a manning document which tells me when people report, and depart based on their job position. I have all of the info in one worksheet, and want to generate a bar like graph on another worksheet in the workbook (by just changing the cell color for ease) for a snapshot to view holes in job positions.
The snapshot worksheet has the list of jobs on the left, and months/years in a line acorss the top i.e.
2006
| J | F | M | A | M | J | J | A | S | O | N | D |
Job Position X X X X X X
Job Position X X X X X X
Here was the code I started with, and it doesn't do anything!
Private Sub Workbook_CreateCalendar(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Fcol As Date
Dim Lcol As Date
Dim Lencol As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long

I have a two documents whose names contain periods out of 70. Example is St._Paul and St._Louis_Park. When I run through the code it stops it with the error that the name cannot be found. My list looks like this..
Club Name
Eagan
Apple_Valley
St._Paul
etc.
When I remove the period it works. Is there a way to make it work with the period in there so I don't have to change a bunch of files and documents? Here is the code...
Sub OpenUp()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set wb = Workbooks(ThisWorkbook.Name)
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
With ws
TotalRow = .Cells(1, 255).End(xlDown).Row
Finalrow = .Cells(TotalRow, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
For i = 2 To Finalrow
clb = ws.Cells(i, 2)
psw = ws.Cells(i, 3)
psw2 = ws.Cells(i, 4)
mnth = ws.Cells(i, 5).........................

I want to use a macro to save an .xls file as an .mht file. I have:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:ReportsBook2.mht", FileFormat:= _
xlWebArchive, CreateBackup:=False
which works for saving, but how can I Change the resulting web Page Title using VBA? I tried recording the macro as I changed the title and saved but nothing recorded for that. I know I can always just go in after the macro runs and manually change it but it seems like there must be another way.

I need to be able to take someones name which is in a single cell in the format "First Middle Last" (could be more than one middle name) and then split it up so that it fits the following format:
Last name (must be 50 characters)
Middle name (must be 15 characters)
First Name (must be 15 characters)
I'm unsure on the right combination of operators to use to variably concatenate strings in this way. I'm confident I can figure out how to add the white spaces after a name to make it fit the character requirement but I don't know how to split the initial name up into it's 3 parts. Names longer than the character requirement will just be truncated.
