Default Charts switch from 'Series in Rows' to 'Series in Columns'
I use VBA to create charts in Excel 2003, but find that sometimes the
Charts switch 'Series in Rows' (intended) to 'Series in Columns' (not
intended), even if I have specified 'Series in Rows'. This happens
intermittently, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I do save
the workbook as Microsoft Excel 97 so that a user with Excel 2000 or
Excel 2003 can use the workbook.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hard to tell if you keep the code secret.

Default Charts switch from 'Series in Rows' to 'Series in Columns'
Hello Jon, Appreciate your response. I wondered if anyone had had a
similar issue for which a solution already exists. I did not post the
code as it is very lengthy, and in different modules. I am hopefully
reproducing the relevant portion of it. I would be happy to share the
workbook if that would help. Thanks.

The code is designed to chart data by column, or by row, depending on
the position of the active cell in the table underlying the chart. If
the activecell is other than row 15, and is in column 1, then the row
provides data points for the chart. If the active cell is in row 15
and other than column 1, then that column provides the data points.
If the active cell is elsewhere, it is forced to 'come' to row 15,
column 1 till the user makes a selection.

Default Charts switch from 'Series in Rows' to 'Series in Columns'
What are typical values for krows and kcols?

At first glance I notice that in the Select Case PlotBy, under Case
xlColumns, you have values defined by

"=" & ActiveSheet.Name & "!R25C" & StartCol & ":R25C" & StartCol +
EndCol - 2

which means it is a range one row high by several columns wide (the same
type of values definition appears in several places in the worksheet name
select case). This is the definition of "by row", isn't it?

You should do the SetSourceData before defining SeriesCollection(1).Name.

I use VBA to create charts in Excel 2003, but find that sometimes the
Charts switch 'Series in Rows' (intended) to 'Series in Columns' (not
intended), even if I have specified 'Series in Rows'. This happens
intermittently, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I do save
the workbook as Microsoft Excel 97 so that a user with Excel 2000 or
Excel 2003 can use the workbook.

Thank you for any suggestions.- Hide quoted text -

Default Charts switch from 'Series in Rows' to 'Series in Columns'
Thanks, Jon, for your suggestions.
krows take on values from 9 to 52.
kcols take on values from 1 to 84

I will check out your suggestion to SetSourceData before defining
SeriesCollection(1).Name and also examine the code for possible
errors.

Have a good day.

What are typical values for krows and kcols?

At first glance I notice that in the Select Case PlotBy, under Case
xlColumns, you have values defined by

"=" & ActiveSheet.Name & "!R25C" & StartCol & ":R25C" & StartCol +
EndCol - 2

which means it is a range one row high by several columns wide (the same
type of values definition appears in several places in the worksheet name
select case). This is the definition of "by row", isn't it?

You should do the SetSourceData before defining SeriesCollection(1).Name.

Hello Jon, Appreciate your response. I wondered if anyone had had a
similar issue for which a solution already exists. I did not post the
code as it is very lengthy, and in different modules. I am hopefully
reproducing the relevant portion of it. I would be happy to share the
workbook if that would help. Thanks.

The code is designed to chart data by column, or by row, depending on
the position of the active cell in the table underlying the chart. If
the activecell is other than row 15, and is in column 1, then the row
provides data points for the chart. If the active cell is in row 15
and other than column 1, then that column provides the data points.
If the active cell is elsewhere, it is forced to 'come' to row 15,
column 1 till the user makes a selection.
