Hi,

I'm facing a problem at the moment that with my own knowledge i can't
solve at the moment and it drives me crazy.

I would like to create an Excelsheet in which an unknown amount of
variables can be entered, to which a value is assigned. So say i have
20 variables for my case, i want to enter 20 variable names in a cel
and then assign either the value 1,2 or to those variables, which in
my case means the level of impact of the variable. So in column A i
have my 20 variable names, in column B my 20 impact values. In column
B I also apply conditional formatting to make the cell color change
depending on the entered inmpact value (1=green, 2=orange, 3=red).

What I'd now like to do is have some programming logic that is able

to
create a graph with my 20 variables on the x-axis (and in general the
amount of variables for a graph is variable) and has the impact

values
on the y-axis. Point of the graph should be to show variable 1 has
impact 2 (and I would like the color of the corresponding bar to be
orange in this case), variable 2 has impact 1 and has a green bar

with
height 1 on the y-axis.

Is this possible with visual basic or is there a better solution to

my
problem? I would greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks,

regards
