Default Changing a horizontal axis crosses value using VBA

I have just started trying to learn VBA since the 1st of the year. I
used macro recorder to record changes in the "Format Axis" "Axis
Options" "Horizontal Axis Crosses" "Axis value" or the "CrossesAt"
portion of a chart. Because I wanted to be able to enter a crosses at
value into a cell I added the = Range(). The following code is working
except there is a short wait while the code is executing.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("I21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("J21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("K21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 4").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("L21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 5").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("M21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("N21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 7").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("O21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 8").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("P21")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 9").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt = Range("Q21")

Here is what I'm trying to do now. If the value in the chart is the
same as in the cell I want to skip the code for that chart. So if the
value in the cell is different need to run. I can't figure out how to
compare the 2 values. This is what I have attempted without sucess.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
If Not ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt.Value =
Range("I20") Then
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).CrossesAt.Value = Range("I20")
End If

I sure it something very simple and basic but I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance
