Default Is it possible to drag points in an Excel 2007 Scatter Chart?

I've seen funny business with chart events in 2007, but have not worked with
them much yet, because I've had no demand yet. I don't have the ability to
test on Vista. Sorry.

If the sheet isn't active, you have to activate it before you can select
the
cell.

Or use

Application.Goto Worksheets("Chart Data").Range("A1").Offset(Arg2)

Worksheets("Chart Data").Range("A1").Offset(Arg2).Clear Works
fine
Worksheets("Chart Data").Range("A1").Offset(Arg2).Select Crashes

Then I thought it might be because the spreadsheet was originally
created
in
2003 (and contained other stuff), so I created a worksheet from scratch
in
2007 with only this class, and the assignment to a chart.

Same problem.

I then saved it in 2003 format, and reopened. Same problem.

I finally changed to my old XP / 2003 disk and booted (takes ages,
which
is
the main reason I changed to Vista / 2007). But when it finally
finished
booting the code above worked fine in Excel2003.

So my conclusion is that 2007 has (yet another?) problem. Maybe I
really
should consider to "downgrade" to 2003, and postpone my switch to 2007
yet
another year.

One question in this connection: Will running Outlook 2007 and Excel
2003
on
the same machine cause problems ? I like Outlook 2007 and would prefer
to
keep it.

Morten

Try qualifying the range:

2007 crashes:

The code below (using a chart event to "navigate" to a specific cell
in
the
grid) immediately crashes Excel 2007:
----------
Public WithEvents myChartClass As Chart

Private Sub myChartClass_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal ElementID As Long,
ByVal
Arg1 As Long, ByVal Arg2 As Long, Cancel As Boolean)
If ElementID = xlSeries And Arg2 0 Then ' a point in a series
Range("A1").Offset(Arg2).Select
End If
End Sub
------
Similar code in Excel 2003 (using the SeriesChange event though)
works
fine.

You could easily adapt one of these approaches:

start with the simple click to identify a point.

Well, the reason that this upsets me is that I have used this
feature a
lot
for removing "outliers" from long lists of data.

Outliers are easily spotted on a plot, so in order to easily
delete
the
corresponding data point I wrote VB code that caught the
MyChartClass_SeriesChange event (which is raised after dragging
a
point
on a
graph). This event returns the point index of the data being
moved
to
the
event handler. In the event handler I simply cleared the contents
of
the
corresponding cell in the spreadsheet.

In this way all you had to do to remove outliers from the data
list
was
to
select and drag them on the plot.

Are there in Excel 2007 any other events that can be used for
this
purpose

Regards

Morten

In other versions of Excel, dragging points in a Scatter Chart
allowed
for
editing graph data on the graph rather than by switching back
to
the
data.
Following the same process in Excel 2007 is unsuccessful. Is
dragging
data
points possible in Excel 2007?????
