Centering Axis and Chart Titles on chart
 

Win XP HE, XL 2002 SP3

Hi,
I cannot find out how to center the title of the chart AND the axis title on
the chart area so that it is precisely centered (not manually).
How does one go about it?

Hi,

This code will center charttitle and xaxis title within chartarea.

'------------------------------
Sub CenterChartTitles()
'
' Center within chart area then chart title and xaxis title, if present.
'
' Text items have no Width property so use an approximation.
' Force text to far right and use the difference between actual
' and expected position to approx width.
'
Dim sngWidth As Single

With ActiveChart
If .HasTitle Then
With .ChartTitle
.Left = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width
sngWidth = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width - .Left
.Left = (ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width - sngWidth) / 2
End With
End If
If .Axes(1, 1).HasTitle Then
With .Axes(1, 1).AxisTitle
.Left = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width
sngWidth = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width - .Left
.Left = (ActiveChart.ChartArea.Width - sngWidth) / 2
End With
End If
End With
End Sub
'------------------------------

Cheers
