Try this:
Set rPatterns = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:H66")
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Chart
For iSeries = 1 To .SeriesCollection.Count
Set rSeries = rPatterns.Find(What:=.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Na me)
If Not rSeries Is Nothing Then
With .SeriesCollection(iSeries).Interior
.ColorIndex = rSeries.Interior.ColorIndex
.Pattern = 1
End With
End If
Next
End With

Peter T - thank you. I opened the reference.
How can I modify my code, w/ yours...?
My code...
Set rPatterns = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:H66")
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Chart
For iSeries = 1 To .SeriesCollection.Count
Set rSeries = rPatterns.Find(What:=.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Na me)
If Not rSeries Is Nothing Then
.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Interior.ColorIndex =
rSeries.Interior.ColorIndex
End If
Next
End With
Your code....
For Each sr In chts.SeriesCollection
with sr.Interior
.pattern = 1
.ColorIndex = 23
end with
Next sr
Also, what would be the Dim for the "sr".
TIA - Bob

I'm not sure what the problem is or what you are asking. However it seems
to
relate to what colorindex is applied after the 56th series. Briefly, the
'automatic' colours for series start with 17 (or 25) and are applied
sequentially, at 56 they roll over to 1. However after every 56th series
a
different grey pattern is applied giving the visual effect of a new set
of
56 colours. To prevent patterns after the 56th, apply .pattern = 1.
