I would think you could right click on the chart and then click view code.
It should then display the properties window which would show the name of the
chart.

I recorded a macro to create a line chart for my future chart creation. The
macro automatically gives a series number of the chart
e.g. ActiveSheet.Shapes(€œChart 8€�).xxx
based on how many charts created on the same sheet in the past, even though
the previous charts are all deleted.

- How can I know the series number for the chart I am to create?
- Can I get around this series number and have a customized name for the
chart, so that I can work with it?

This series number problem is true for adding a sheet. I need to know the
series number before I can change the name of the sheet.

e.g.
Sheets.Add
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "NewName"

If a previous Sheet1 was deleted, then it would be €œSheet2€�. How can I know
which number it is?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
