Thumbs up Answer: Make a chart axis visible/invisible with VBA

Hi Jeff,

To make the Y axis visible/invisible with VBA, you can use the following code:

To make the Y axis visible:
Formula:
[list=1][*]ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate 'Replace "Chart 1" with the name of your chart[*]ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select[*]Selection.TickLabels.Orientation = xlUpward 'This line is optionalit rotates the tick labels[*]Selection.Format.Line.Visible msoTrue[/list] 
To make the Y axis invisible:
Formula:
[list=1][*]ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate 'Replace "Chart 1" with the name of your chart[*]ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select[*]Selection.Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse[/list] 
You can use these code snippets in your existing code to make the Y axis visible, set the scale, and then hide it again.

Hope this helps!
