Source Location/Address Of Series In Graph/Chart
Looking for code that returns the cell address of a series in a pre-existing graph. I have a graph that already has Source Data manually assigned to it. Is there a way to find just the cell values or location of a single Series in a SeriesCollection object? I know that in order to assign a series of data to a Series object, you do something like this:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Worksheets("My Worksheet").Range("A1:F1")
The issue I am tackling with is a graph that already has preexisting data in the Series object, and I just need a quick and easy way to find the address of this data set.

Multiple Series Chart/Graph

Each Chart Source Row As A New Series
my problem is: I have a whole list of data which changes according to the users preferences It comprises of a NAME, X Value, and Y Value and the addition of X and Y. (these all have auto filters on them) The user inputs under these fields, as many rows as they wish (which will be around 20ish) I want it so when i click a button "CREATE GRAPH" it selects the highest 10 values (if there is 10 values, if not then all the values) from the 4th column (X+Y) and then creates a graph. i want each row to be a new series...

Graph & Chart: Data Source Changes Monthly
I am trying to write a macro that will automatically change the source data for a graph. This is an existing graph that is on tab GraphYTD and the data for the graph comes from DataYTD. The number of rows of data will change monthly, but I would like to use the same graph template every month. Here is my Sub SortYTD() Dim myBottom As Long myBottom = Sheets("DataYTD"). Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("DataYTD").Range("F2:I" & myBottom) ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="GraphYTD" End Sub I am getting Runtime error 91 - object variable or with block variable not set.

Macro: Plot Graph/Chart By Series Of Rows
I've been trying to work out a code for a while now to plot some series in rows on a graph. The wonderful Mr Pope helped me with one before but for series in columns but i just don't seem to understand it enough to use it for this problem. the graph already has 2 series plotted (called the envelope) so i have to use seperate series to plot the data. Basically the name of series is down column A but the range is from E1 to Y1 and the data to be plotted on the graph which already has two series plotted in it is E2 to Y2, E3 to Y3 etc. iv been trying to use this code but failing miserably Sub adddatatopsd(Name As Range, XData As Range, YData As Range) With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart With .SeriesCollection.NewSeries .ChartType = xlColumnClustered .XValues = XData .Values = YData .Name = Name .ChartType = xlXYScatterSmooth End With End With End Sub...........................

Chart: Data Series Address
Trouble: I need to replace address of datacells for serias of chart Result: data for serias will be some lines above or below as i need simv = Workbooks(1). Names("adr").RefersToRange.Formula num = Len(simv) For i = 1 To ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count oldadr = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Item(i).Formula res = Left(oldadr, Len(oldadr) - num - 3) + simv + Right(oldadr, 3) ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Item(i).Formula = res Next i simv - my new address data for all serias this code is working on Excel 2003, but not working on some other versions. Beause "Formula" may has different structure : version 2003: =SERIES(,,'C:...[macros.xls]Sheet2'!$B$8:$M$8,1) other version: =SERIES('C:...[test.xls]#Source'!$C$6:$D$6,'C:...[test.xls]#Source'!$E$2:$AC$2,,1)

Use Range Address In Cell For Chart Series
I am trying to create an XY scatter plot with multiple series. Normally, one has to manually type in or mouse-drag a range for each x series and y series. Instead I would like to build these two ranges (x and y) with text functions and place them in a cell. For example: A1: 'data'!$C$3:$C$10 B1: 'data'!$D$3:$D$10 Then, when I create a chart, instead of mouse-dragging, for the x-series, I'll indicate the range that's specified within Cell A1, and for the y series, that which is in B1. I would then repeat this for each series. The reason I want to do this is because I have dozens of series and dozens of graphs and it is relatively easy to programatically identify the range boundaries, but long and tedious to mouse drag them.

Show Chart Data Series Labels On All Series. 2007
I just recently installed Excel 2007 and I would like to know if it's possible to change all data points of a chart at the same time. In Excel 2003, I would normally hold down shift while clicking on each of the data points to make a global change. However, it appears I cannot do that in 2007. I would like to display each data point's series name. When I go to Layout on the Excel Ribbon, and click on "Data Labels", and click on "More Data Label Options", the actual Y-axis values are shown for each data point. However, I do not want this - I actually only want the Series Name, but when I uncheck "Value" and check "Series Name" instead (under "Label Contains"), it only changes it for one of the series. Is there a better way, instead of going through each and every single series to make this change?

Graph Data Series With Different Colours
I am creating a timeline using a stacked bar graph. The 3 colums in the source spreadsheet are title,start time and duration. The Two data series are start time and duration. I hide the start time series to give me timelines for each row in the spreadsheet. This works fine. What I'd like to do is to group the rows by title and distinguish by colour in the duration series but this doesn;t seem possible? I hope I've made myself clear.

Graph With Source Data On Multiple Lines
I have an excel worksheet that contains two sets of data. These numbers are then plotted onto a line graph to show the two sets of data against each other. The graph is working fine, but only for a specific amount of data. The data is split into mutiple lines. From cells A1 all the way to BI1 is one row. I then have information in A4 to BI4. I would like to plot this information on a graph as a single continuous line. Is this possible? Basically, My graph source is currently =Data!$A$2:$BI$3. This gives me two lines that I want. How do I get the data from A4:BI4 to join up to the first line in the graph.

Chart Making- Chart With 3 Data Series
I have a chart with 3 data series. The series are located in columns A, B and C respectively. Series I is a general number anywhere from 0 to 100,000. Series 2 is also a number, but is is devided by series 1. So, if series 1 was 100,000 then series two would be 25,000/100,000 which is 0.25. Series three will always be numerator of series 2 or 25,000 in this example. The numerator, or the 25,000 will never change, so, in my example, series three will be a straight line across the chart because it is always 25,000. In my example, the .25 is plotted on the left value axes, and series one is plotted on the right value acccess (secondary axis). Series three is just a line in the middle. My problem is that sometimes the line, series 3, doesn't match the values in both the right and left values axes. So, if series one is 48,000, then series two would be 48,000/48,000 = 1, and series three would be 48000 - the straight line. The third series should be a line touching the 48,000 on the right and the number 1 on the left. It does touch the 48000 on the left, but is below the number 1 on the left.

Change Chart Series Pasted From Another Chart
I want to use a macro to change attributes of a series in a chart. Unbelievably, if the series has been pasted into the chart from another chart, and although the macro can address the series and even return values (eg name) correctly, the selection simply cycles to one of the original series on the chart.

Graph The Following Data In An Area Chart With Line Charts Superimposed On The Area Chart
I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart: 1) Weather data (temperature) by region: So one region, would be: Northwest I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month. 2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region. 3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data). What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR. The chart should update if the data is filtered; so if a user doesn't want to see the 'orange' row they can filter the data accordingly. There is a finite number of rows and columns in the range but sometimes there will be less data. I have tried to convert the data to a table and that works quite well except the legend keys persist: so if there is no data for pillows and stickers the legends still appear and have to be removed manually. Also, there seems to be a bug in Excel 2007 whereby the removal of a chart linked to table data causes a persistent error message to appear. I know that I need to created a named range for the data series using OFFSET, and I have also read that I need to refresh this formula using VBA but I am now very confused and none of my attempts quite work.

Reference Last Chart Series
I am trying to create a chart that will allow the user to add/remove series to compare with each other. When adding a series, Excel gives it a name (e.g Series1) the macro is then set to rename it to a particular cell, however the name Excel gives the series varies depending on the order in which the series are added. ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(SeriesCollection.Count) instead of ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1) would work collect the last series added, which is what I want, but when I apply this I get an run-time '424' error.

My range could start at 1 row and finish at any other. User Defined. Bu I want that whole range to be included in the charts. This is a stacked chart. So in my example I'd liek the shaded bit as a stack chart. 3 bars for 3 months with 4 stacks in each one.

Dynamic Chart Source Data
In a workbook that I am working on, a macro runs to import data onto 9 separate sheets. The data is essentially x- and y- coordinates of a plot profile from another program. The problem that I am running into is that the number of data points can vary each time the data in imported based upon how the data was acquired. If I were to put a drop-down list (Method1, Method2, Method3, etc.) on the Instructions page that I have for this workbook and have the user select which method was used prior to running the macro, could I then incorporate some sort of IF statement in the macro to vary the Source Data Series for the charts that I have created? Right now, I have the Source Data covering the scenario with the longest list of data points so when fewer points are used, the graph looks essentially useless.

Automate Chart Source Update
I'm trying to change the source data for a worksheet for a series of charts. The source data appears in a series of tables. There are about 30 such tables and associated charts on the worksheet. (I need to duplicate this many times over, which is why I need to automate.). The chart names seem to increment by 2 (i.e. Chart 1, Chart 3, Chart 5) And the source data for the charts increment by 9: BM95:BP102, BM104:BP111, etc. How can I automate this? Also, I'm trying to automate changing the reference in the title of the chart. This reference increments rows by 9. When I use the macro recorder to do this, I get the following ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("BM95:BP102") I'm unable to generate any code that allows me to change the reference of the chart title.

Change Chart Source Range
My spreadsheet has multiple charts, each referencing a dynamic named range as its source data (e.g. "California1", "California2", etc). Each named range contains multiple series. I would like to make it easy for a single chart to quickly adjust to display different named ranges (e.g. view the chart with "California1" data, then update the same chart to view "California2" data). I'd like to do this without having to right-click on the chart, select Source Data, and then type in "California2" as the Data Range. My question: is there a way to make the chart's Source Data Range dynamic so that I can quickly select the named range that I want to display? For example, would it be possible to tie the Data Range to a separate cell so that if I typed "California2" into that cell the chart would know to use that named range as its new source data?
