Excel VBA: Problem with copying an embedded chart from one worksheet to another
I want to copy an embedded chart from one worksheet to another workshee
in a different workbook and maintain the pasted chart focus. My cod snipit: 'The chart I am copying from is called Total Amounts ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "Total Amounts" ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy 'Copy the chart 'I delete any existing charts on the destination worksheet Dim nChart As Integer For nChart = 1 T Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects.Count If Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects(nChart).Nam = "Total Amounts" Then Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects(nChart).Delete Exit For End If Next nChart 'I paste the chart on the new worksheet Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").Paste The problem is, the chart name for the pasted chart is not Tota Amounts but the default chart name. I want to be able to select th chart so I can reposition and resize etc, but I can't reference it. Th destination workbook Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F") contain many charts, so I can't just select chart 1. Can I copy the sourc chart and paste it in the new workbook and maintain the chart name? Thank you in advance for any input given on this topic -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Sub test()
ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "Total Amounts" ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy 'Copy the chart cur_cnt = Sheets(2).ChartObjects.Count 'count existing charts in sheet where you want to paste Sheets(2).Paste ' paste Sheets(2).ChartObjects(cur_cnt + 1).Select ' select the newly added chart ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "Total Amounts" 'rename or do anyother thing :) End Sub Flystar < wrote: I want to copy an embedded chart from one worksheet to another worksheet in a different workbook and maintain the pasted chart focus.
