Thanks Bob.

I have no experience with VBA, so wouldn't know where to start.

Cheers,

Jim

Yeah, but I think you have to do it by VBA.

Here is a basic example that you can tweak

Dim i As Long
Dim arycolours

arycolours = Array(36, 38, 53, 3, 5, 6, 10, 41, 56, 387, 22)

With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart

For i = 1 To 9

.SeriesCollection(i).Border.ColorIndex = arycolours(i - 1)
Next i
End With

Most would be in the same group, so the same colour. i.e. 10 of one 10 of
another etc. Anything not classed in a particular group would be classed
in
an unknown group, which would all be the same colour.

Any sense to that?

Seeing as Excel pre-2007 only has a 56 colour colour palette, how do you
distinguish between them?

Hi. I have a chart with 96 series, these series have around 76 data
points
each and are expressed in a line chart. I would like to be able to
automatically colour the lines for each series based upon the name of
each
series. The names of each series are identified by the header of the
particular column/row.

Is this possible?

I have looked through other questions on here, but they dont seem to be
relevant to this particular case.

Thanks in advance.

James
