i have 5 charts in a sheet . i want to access this charts using index
number . need vba code to give desire index numbers to charts i.e i
want to programmitically give index number to all charts . i want to
assign the mentioned index numbers to those charts

charts name index number

i have code which renames the charts present in the worksheet but the
index number remains 1 for all charts . say if have 3 charts in a
sheet i have to execute this below program thrice inorder to have
index number 1 , 2 and 3 for the charts . Before running this program
all the 3 charts had same index number and same chart name



Sub Renamecharts()

Dim chtobj As ChartObject
Dim Msg As String
Dim n As Integer

n = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
Msg = "Chart List for Sheet " & vbTab & ActiveSheet.Name & vbTab & "No
charts = " & n & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Msg = Msg & "Name " & vbTab & vbTab & "Index" & vbCrLf
i = 0
For Each chtobj In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
i = i + 1
chtobj.Activate
chtobj.Name = "Charts" & i
'chtobj.Index= i ' '''''''''' i want to do something like this
'''''''''''''''''''''''
Debug.Print chtobj.Name
Msg = Msg & chtobj.Name & vbTab & vbTab & chtobj.Index & vbCrLf
Next chtobj
out = MsgBox(Msg, , "Chart List")

End Sub

In support of Andrew's reply, could you not create your own charts
collection and assign the index there? Alternatively, if the number of
charts is known ahead of runtime, you could use an enum to identify
charts in code.
