Set Tools/Options From VBA
Jun 27, 2006I use several different workbooks during the day, and sometimes I would prefer the " move selection after enter direction" option to = "Right" and sometimes "Down". It doesn't seem to be an option that is saved with the workbook.
what could be done to a workbooks code to change this option upon opening the book?

Nov 21, 2006On one of my computers, Excel is freezing up just about any time I select something from the Tools or Format Menus (same goes if I use keyboard shortcuts to call any of those things). I have to kill it with the task manager. It is not a specific workbook, I've tried several, including new blank workbooks.
It's not all menus, as File options seem to work. I also am able to Autosize columns by double clicking, but basically any other formatting things (i.e. CTRL + 1) do not work. I also tried to show the Cell Format dialog via VBA, (note: I am able to get to VBA editor, etc...), and it locked it up then too.
Finally, I tried "Detect & Repair" from the Office disk, but that didn't do anything. Next, if necessary, I'll do a full re-install unless anybody else has heard of this and knows what the problem is.
Formula Not Updating: Using Tools, Options, Calculation, Automatic
Oct 27, 2006I have a table with rows that keep growing. But I have place formula in the whole of column F, i.e. F2:F66565. When I import information from MS Access into column A to E, the formula in F does not work, until I copy from F2 to the end manually. I have tried using Tools, Options, Calculation, Automatic. That doesn't work, I have also tried F9, that doesn't work and I have also tried checking Precision as Displayed under the calculation tax in Tools-Options, that doesn't work either.

Nov 28, 2009I use the following (example only) to get the maximum value in a defined rang:

Abort Options For Application.Filedialog
Sep 14, 2009I am using application.FileDialog to make the user select a file, when clicking a button. Now, I have tested, what happens, when I click on "Abort", instead of selecting a file and clicking "OK". An error message appears, because no file is selected.
So my question is: How do I state in my code, what is supposed to happen, when the User Clicks on "abort" (I want the whole Sub to be aborted in this case)
Changing Gridline And Heading Options In VBA
Nov 27, 2007I have a workbook with many sheets that at times is handy to have the gridlines and headings on and off at other times.
Is there a way to change in VBA the True/False setting for gridlines and row/column headings displayed on the worksheet, for all visible worksheets without making each sheet active to toggle the settings.
With ActiveWindow
.DisplayGridline=False
.DisplayHeadings=False
End with
Is there another way to do the same thing by looping through the sheets:
For each sheet in this Workbook.Worksheets
????? 'set gridlines to false
????? 'set headings to false
Next sheet
Updating Multiple Chart Options (e.g. Title)
Apr 2, 2007Is it possible to update Chart Titles in Batches. For the following Titles:
'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?
Changing Chart Properties Without Activating Chart
Jul 19, 2012My question is regarding changing properties in a chart without activating it. My current example is with adding data labels, but there are many other instances I could use this information in. Here is my current code:
VB: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
However, I was hoping to replace it with something like this:
VB: Sheets("Dashboard").ChartObjects("Chart 1").SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
I get the "Object doesn't support this property/method" error. Is there a way to do this? It just seems inefficient to have to activate the chart in order to make changes.
Changing Invalid Qualifier To Valid Qualifier (Application)
Apr 16, 2014Invalid Qualifier to a Valid Qualifier (Application).
[Code]....
The code above yields me this error >>> Compile Error: Invalid Qualifier
[Code] ....
If I changed it to the one above, I'm getting this >>> Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
I tried restarting excel (closing all workbooks and opening one back) then rerun. I am still getting the same error.
A Changing Range For A Chart
Apr 24, 2006I want to have the "category (x) axis label" to change with each new entry into column A. I would like to start from the last entry and go back 30 and have that change each time there is a new entry. I guess what I am trying to say is I only want to chart the last 30 entries.

Jul 1, 2006Sub autograph()
Dim x As Long, t As Long, y As Long, z As Long
y = 3
z = 5
x = 4
While x < 609
With Worksheets("cabernet (2)")
t = Cells(x, 1).Value

ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("cabernet (2)").Range("B" & y & ":H" & z), PlotBy:=xlRows

z = z + 3
x = x + 3

End Sub
This time, however, instead of having a slight idea of what I need to do, I don't have the slightest of where to start. I need to move all of these charts into another sheet, sheet1, and i'd like to offset them or do something so that they aren't all right on top of each other. I'd be more specific but I don't really know exactly what you can or can't do.
Changing Chart Source With Vba
Jan 31, 2007I'm trying to create a chart with different source ranges e.g if i used
With ch.Chart
.SeriesCollection.Add _
Source:=Worksheets(1).Source:=Worksheets(1).Range("C1:C8,J1:J8")
End With
That works fine but I want to modify the columns it looks at. I was going to use the cells(x,y) method but I can't get it to work. icol = 3. Range(Cells(1, iCol), Cells(8, iCol)). This works for a single range(C1:C8), but how do i reference Range("C1:C8,J1:J8") in the same way.
Chart Range Changing Automatically
Jul 14, 2014I have a workbook, with 2 sheets. first page has graphs, second has data. in my charts I refer to a named range on the second one as follows: Data!Named_Range, where "Data" is the name of the second sheet. However when i save this, it changes the range of the chart to: '101044.xlsm'!Named_Range, where 101044 is the name of the workbook. This is a problem for me as this workbook will often be loaded into a document handling system where the file will change name, throwing out all sorts of errors because the chart path is invalid, and i have to change the range of all the charts manually. why does it have to use the file name when reffering inside the same workbook? and how do i force this to not change?
View 5 Replies View RelatedPivot Chart Type Changing
Feb 15, 2010I have an issue with pivot charts that I can't figure out and I can't find anyone with the same problems either. I have several big reports that use data from 2005 onwards that need to be represented on graphs separated by the city the data belongs to and different ranges of the results. This data is being sourced from inside each workbook on another tab and turned into a series of pivot tables (for each city) which provides the source for the charts. I did it like this because if I use pivot graphs I don't have to go through and individually change the data source range in the charts every time - because there are so many.
My problem is that when I refresh the pivot tables (to bring in the new data) the pivot charts 'chart type' resets. They should be represented in a Line - Column on 2 Axes chart and I have set this as the defult type but after refreshing it reverts to a basic column graph and I have to go through and change them all back manually. I made a macro that acts on a currently selected chart to change the format to make this process a bit faster:
Changing Bar Color In Chart Based On Value?
Dec 14, 2012I have a quarterly report that measures the safety performance of the plants in our company using bar charts. One set of 4 charts for the company as a whole and four additional sets of four for each of our divisions for a total of 20 charts.
I would like to change the color of the bars based on whether the location has met (bars colored green) or failed to meet (bars colored red) the goal for that criteria. The company average will be a yellow bar. Of course it can be done manually but that is really slow and tedious.
Is there a way, using VBA or a macro, to change the color of a bar (data point) based on the value of that data point? Can it run through all of the data points in each chart and make those changes based on criteria that I can set for each type of chart?
Color Changing Column Chart
May 9, 2008I am trying to create a chart that will show each month of the year's workload based on orders due for each month. I have all of the information needed on a spreadsheet to chart this into a simple chart showing the load, however, I want a little extra on the charting to show me additional details.
I would like for my chart to also display the available man hours for each month against the workload. I would like for the available man hours to be displayed by color changes in each month bar column of the graph.
So if I had 1000 hours of work in the month of April and only 960 man hours available in April it would have shown me throughout the month as the chart grew that I was "Green" for all hours below 860. The as the chart grew past 860 that portionof the chart changed to "Orange" telling me that the hours were soon to be full. Once it reached 960 that part of the chart would turn "Red" as an indication that we have more workload than we can complete for that month. This would be useful for me as an overtime tool, as well as for review for additional man hours or a decrease in man hours.
Changing Chart Series Colours In VBA
Jan 21, 2010I have a spreadsheet which reports across different categories, but there's a lot of info. So simplify this, I've written a simple macro that changes the series range in an existing chart, so top level and by category. This works well apart from I'm using excel 2007, and some people aren't, so the default colours look fine on my version, but change to some awful colours on anyone with an earlier version of excel. I need a way of changing the colours to standard ones depending on which macro is being run.
I have tried running the following, but I get an error, basically saying the series hasn't been selected.
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Select
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Chart With Changing Source Data
Aug 11, 2006I am trying to create a macro which will allow me to change the source data for a particular chart. what i want to do is to have a code which looks in a range of cells (A8:B28) and then updates the chart to only include those cells within the range that contain a value? The number of cells with values changes depending on what options are selected elsewhere in the spreadsheet.

Changing A Chart Source Sheet
Feb 9, 2007I have a sheet ( Graphs A) with 50+ graphs on all linked to a datasheet (Data A).
I now want to copy these graphs to another sheet (Graphs B) which links to a different data sheet (Data B). The data is in the same layout format etc.
The problem is that the find-replace function will not replace the sheet name in the charts series formula from Data A to Data B
Is there an easy way to change the source sheet for the new graphs?

Apr 25, 2008I have a database in excel with a lot of tables in which lets a uses a combo box so the user select can view just one table.
I want to be able to create a macro so when a button is pressed, it copies the data into a new workbook and creates a chart so they can do whatever they want without disrupting anything in the original workbook.
I have been able to find code that will export the data and create a chart (see below) but the problem is the range changes from table to table so I need to find a way of changing how the chart picks up the data range.
Sub Chart_New_Book()
Sheets("Temp").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C10")
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1"
End Sub
So at the moment when charting ony cells A1:C10 will be plotted no matter what the size of the table is and making the target range bigger only sees the blank cells being plotted.

Auto Size Dynamic Changing Chart
Jun 14, 2008I have created a dynamic chart in excel where either the number of Series or the number of Data Points will change dependent on user inputs in the model. I've done this using the Offset Function in a Defined Name in Excel and dropped this Defined Name into vba code using ActiveChart.SetSourceData.
Anyway, all works fine, pulling the correct data, etc. What doesn't work is the final appearence of the chart. The chart has a Legend placed at the bottom of the chart, as standard, unless there is only one Series, when I remove the legend altogether. Whilst the legend works fine, the Plot Area of the chart doesn't update automatically to accomodate the changing size / existence of the Legend. Does anybody know how to do this? I tried using hieght, etc properties, but I don't know how to make them variable
