Delete chart's custom number format?
In Excel 2007:
One can create a custom number format when modifying a chart's axis format. Unlike a custom cell format, this chart number format does not have a hook for deleting it. Is there a method for deleting a custom chart number format? George |

Delete chart's custom number format?
Hi,
You need to delete the custom number format at the workbook level, as in previous versions. ' specify custom format in the NumberFormat argument ActiveWorkbook.DeleteNumberFormat NumberFormat:="0" To fully remove the format from the list it looks like a restart of Excel is required, which was not previously required.

Delete chart's custom number format?
Andy,
Thanks for the encouraging words. Yet I'm not sure how to apply your advice. I tried winging it by adding some vba code, replacing "0" with "#," (my trial number format). Compiled, ran the function in the immediate window without error. Saved. Reopened. Format was still there. Is this because the command does not refer to the chart number formats? Or?

Ah, but it works in a macro-enabled workbook. But how does one remove it
from the normal template so that it is no longer available? I ask only because I'm teaching Excel and don't want to confuse my students (more than they already are!)

Oops. I must be as confused as my students! New charts do not have this
format available. G "GeoBrooks" wrote: Ah, but it works in a macro-enabled workbook. But how does one remove it from the normal template so that it is no longer available?
