Excel inconsistency
After a bunch of fiddling, i got a macro to duplicate a chart below a
single one on a worksheet. But there was a runtime error as noted near the end of the macro. So i did a lot of more fiddling and was able to get a number of copies, one after the other by calling them all "Chart 1". Nasty. Did other fiddling in attempts to change series ranges and title on the fly. Things got worse, so i tried to go back to the original macro as seen below. Even deleting the XLSTART folder and re-trying the macro did no good. **HELP** Sub Macro2() ' Macro2 Macro ' Macro recorded 4/15/2009 by Robert Baer Range("A1").Select SheetColumn = 1 ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate '*NOW FAILS-------------------^---NOW arg needs to be 1 not "Chart 1" For ChartNum = 1 To 20 ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select '*NOW FAILS------------------------------------^ ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select '*NOTE redundant and useless duplication below* ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Points(67).Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Select ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveWindow.Visible = False Windows("StripperWells.xls").Activate SheetColumn = SheetColumn + 21 TextSheetColumn = "A" + LTrim(Str$(SheetColumn)) ChartNum = ChartNum + 1 TextChartNum = "Chart" + Str$(ChartNum) Range(TextSheetColumn).Select ActiveSheet.Paste ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(TextChartNum).Activate ' ** Runtime error 1004 - unable to get the ChartObjects property ' of the Worksheet class ' Note: second chart has been created where i wanted it, and ' it is selected.

Can you paste this in immediate window and check whether the name is "Chart
1" itself... ?ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).name -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Robert Baer" wrote: After a bunch of fiddling, i got a macro to duplicate a chart below a single one on a worksheet.

The immediate window is in the VBE.
Hit alt-f11 to enter the VBE (where macros live) Hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window You can also see the name of the chart by ctrl-clicking on its edge (in excel) and looking at the namebox (to the left of the formulabar). And after it's selected, you can also change the name by typing the new name in that namebox and hitting enter.

Isn't it wonderful that there are all of these obscure, undocumented tricks from M$? |
