Default Setting the minimum/maximum display range of a chart

Hi,

You need to use code, here is a sample you will need to modify for you
situation:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue)
.MinimumScale = Date - 30
.MaximumScale = Date + 30
End With

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

I thought I posted this question yesterday, but can't find it today so I'll
repost and hope for the best.

Basically I'm using a stacked bar chart as a GANTT schedule, and want to
ensure that the minimum and maximum display ranges are set to something
relevant... What I want to do then is, ideally, to enter =TODAY()-30 (for
example) as the minimum range and =TODAY()+30 as the maximum, but obviously
this doesn't work in a straightforward way... does anybody know of a
workaround for this, so that I can set the minimum range as an equation, or a
reference?

All suggestions are appreciated - thanks!
