Hi all,
have a curious problem when setting the formula on a series via code
(C#)

When setting the formula property like this

currentSeries.Formula="SERIES(\"TradeTranche1\",No de!$B$10:$B$70,(Node!$DC$10:$DC$70),1)"

the value that the formula now has is "SERIES("TradeTranche1",,{1},2)"

I'm OK about the plot order being different but the XRange is missing?! and
the YRange has been set to 1?!

A related detail is that the XRange is a series of values that go from 1 -
48 and then repeat again from 1 - 48 again i.e. non unique. This doesn't
seem to be an issue in other charting situations but may be relevant.

Thanks in advance

Mark

Don't ask me about C# (I thought that meant C-pound, until my musician
daughter laughed at me!), but I know a little about charts.

=SERIES("TradeTranche1",,{1},2)

looks like the series formula for a newly added series that has only had its
series name defined. Excel uses the one element array {1} for the default Y
Values of a new series.

In your series formula command, why are the Y values in parens but the X
values are not? This sequence:

activechart.SeriesCollection.newseries
activechart.SeriesCollection(2).formula= _
"=SERIES(""TradeTranche1"",Node!$B$10:$B$70,(Node! $DC$10:$DC$70),1)"

leaves me with a one-point series with this formula:

=SERIES(,,{1},2)

in which not even the series name is changed. Whereas this

activechart.SeriesCollection.newseries
activechart.SeriesCollection(2).formula= _
"=SERIES(""TradeTranche1"",Node!$B$10:$B$70,Node!$ DC$10:$DC$70,1)"

produces a series with this formula:

=SERIES("TradeTranche1",Node!$B$10:$B$70,Node!$DC$ 10:$DC$70,1)

Remove the extra parentheses and see what you get.

Hi Jon,

firstly thanks for the reply,

secondly your knowledge is strong in the ways of excel.

Just for further clarification which may be of some value for others:

My code had been dynamically creating a set of ranges to make up the series,
in most cases it would be like this

"=SERIES(""TradeTranche1"",Node!$B$10:$B$70,(Node! $AZ$10:$AZ$20,
Node!$DC$21:$DC$70),1)"

But in some cases the node range Node!$AZ$10:$AZ$20, was not required and
hence leaving a single range with brackets around it and causing some kind
non lethal parsing error.

Thanks for the solution!

Mark
