1. If the chart has no data to plot, there may not be a plot area to select.

2. Don't keep selecting all the objects. It will be faster and less
distracting this way:

With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("WhatMatters").Chart.Plot Area
' do whatever to the plot area
End With

I am working to update the series source in a chart. I have an excel
template in which I copy 2 worksheets into my workbook.

I would like to edit one chart using my VBA code. I am getting Method
PlotArea of Object '_Chart' Failed.

The code is below.

Thanks for your help.

Sheets(1).Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("WhatMatters").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
