VBA - Setting up a Chart series
Probably very elementary, but I need some more help.
I have set up a chart to show data just the way I like it and the only thing I want to do is change the series data. Fundamentally, I have a table with dates from Jan '05 to July '07 with client's data for that entire period. What I would like to do is show snapshots of that data using varying Start and Stop dates. I have calculated the index for both the start and stop dates and would like to pop them into the Series for the chart. When I do this manually, I get something like below: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = "='Chart Setup'!R642C27:R925C27" I tried using: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = "='Chart Setup'!R" & StrtDate "C27:R925C27" Where StrtDate is the row number, but it doesn't work. What is a very simple way of doing this? Thanks, Craig |

VBA - Setting up a Chart series
The syntax is fine. What type of chart is it? Is the series already visible,
or does it not yet have plottable data? Does StrtDate actually equal something? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "C Brandt" wrote in message ...

VBA - Setting up a Chart series
You left out an ampersand between StrtDatePtr and "C27:R9525C27".
