Use the macro recorder as a guide. When I record a macro to create a simple
chart it looks like: Sub Macro1() ' Macro recorded 7/30/2007 by Jon Peltier ' Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C6") ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1" End Sub Assuming your DB dump is on a new sheet, and applying some cleanup, this is a workable macro: Sub DB_Dump_to_Chart() Dim rChartData As Range Dim wsData As Worksheet Set wsData = ActiveSheet Set rChartData = wsData.UsedRange Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=rChartData ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=wsData.Name End Sub Naturally your recorded macro will be different, since you will record your actions while creating the type of chart you want from the data. But make the same kind of adjustments as I have made, and you should get a reasonable macro.
