Yes Peter I did get your email thanks
And I know that you gave me a solution for returning chart series formula
and using the split function to parse it and extract the table name however
this is a different question I am not interested in the data series of the
chart this time nor am I interested in the worksheet name
I am interested in the XValue the one that returns all the XAxis values that
apear on the bottom XAxis of the chart. Basicly I have a chart where the
X-Axis Values are dates and I want to return the formual in $A1:$A2 style
string because I already have another parsing function that will get the
column letter from that style / format of returned string.

Problem is that when you try to have VBA return the Xvalues property of a
chart it only seems to return it in R1C1 format ? My String parsing function
is designed to strip out the column LETTER only of a returned formlua string

I virtually gave you a solution a few days ago, briefly

arr = Split(Mid$(sFmla, 9, Len(sFmla) - 9), ",")
on error resume next
set rngX = arr(1) ' XValues
set rngY = arr(2) ' YValues

MyString = rngX.address
(you might want to include external:=true)

PS, I also sent you an email off-line

Hi there I am wondering if someone can tell me how I can return the
XValues
of the Sieriescollection object. But I want them to be returned in
$A1:$A10
style not R1C1 style. just need to return them to a string variable like

Somthing like

MyString = Activechart.Seriescollection(1).XValues

I have tried this and it doesn't work.

Any Ideas ??
