Hi All

Is it possible through VBA to ask a chart for the name of the
worksheet where it is sourceing its data?

I have one worksheet with all my charts. Each chart refers to data on
a seperate sheet - one per chart.

I would like to loop through each ActiveSheet.ChartObjects and find
the worksheet where the data lives - I then intend to update it based
on user criteria.

I cannot see how to acheive this through the object model. Is this
possible? I suppose it may not be as a chart may have data from
multiple worksheets.

Thanks for any ideas in advance,
Chrisso

You can parse the series formula of each series to find where its data
resides. John Walkenbach has a class module that does the heavy lifting for
you:

Find the range containing a series' X or Y values, then determine the parent
of that range.
