Retrieving linked label formula with VBA
hi, Holger !
I linked datalabels of a chart with cells (by selecting a single label
typing "=", clicking the cell to link with and then enter).
Now I want to get the label's formula with VBA
but I only get the value with objPoint.DataLabel.Text.
I am missing something like objPoint.DataLabel.Formula.
Currently I use XL 2003.
Any good ideas?
you need to activate(select) "the chart" AND activate(select) "the datalabel"
and then... "ask" for help to the (ancient) xl-4 macro-functions (i.e.)
msgbox executeexcel4macro("get.formula(selection())")
which gives the formula in the form: =[bookname]sheetname!R1C1
or... you can "convert" into A1 notation i.e.
msgbox application.convertformula(executeexcel4macro("get .formula(selection())"),xlr1c1,xla1)
hth,
hector.
