I'm using Excel 2010, but I can't get this code to work...

Regardless, what value er set, the interior color stays as 'white'.. ;-

What is the correct way to set interior for excel 2010??

Your code works fine for me in 2003/2007, subject of course assigning a
value for C of between 1-56 or xlAutomatic/xlNone

FWIW if only using 2007/2010, although the code will work there is a new
preferred method of applying formats to interiors.

I have a code that adds series to a chart.
I want to set the Datalabel.Interior.ColorIndex, but for some reason
the ClorIndex is not applyed to the DataLabel..

Any suggestion on why? Or how can i do this?

My current code includes:

* * * * * *With Sheets("Chart").SeriesCollection.NewSeries
* * * * * * * *.Name = Name
* * * * * * * *.XValues = XValue
* * * * * * * *.Values = YValue
* * * * * * * *.MarkerSize = 5
* * * * * * * *.ApplyDataLabels
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Interior.ColorIndex = C
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Border.ColorIndex = 1
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Font.Size = 7
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Position = xlCenter
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.Orientation = 45
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.ShowSeriesName = True
* * * * * * * *.DataLabels.ShowValue = False
* * * * * *End With

(where C is set to a valid value using a Select Case loop.)
