Hi all,

Could anyone please let me know how I can delete a specific graph on
specific sheet in VBA . I have tried inserting it as an object but thi
doesn't work as I believe it already is an object. I have trie
referring to its TopLeftCell address, I don't think this works and
have also tried the old Workbook.Charts.Delete

Can anyone please help

This is correct code however it is not adequate. What happens in my ap
is that when the user wishes to see the graph they click on a button
Thus as the graph is being created it gets a name like ("Chart 207"
thus I what I need to do in my app is firstly check if the graph i
there...

if it is then it should be deleted AND additionally I need to know ho
to reference the graph. eg. Because excel comes up with random grap
names I can just hardcode a....

Sheets("Main").ChartObjects("Chart 276").Delete

Because Chart 276 won't always be chart 276.

Thanks for your help initially, do you have any other ideas??

If you are using only one chart on a page you could use

Worksheets("Main").ChartObjects(1).Delete

This let me clear a chart from my worksheet.

Dont know if this is the proper way to do this but it worked for me.

How about when creating the chart assign to object var

sub CreateChart
dim chMyChart

set chMyChart = Charts.Add
....
....


You can then refer to the chart as a variable.

Other options include looping through all the chart objects in a sheet-
something like

Dim chMyChart

For Each chMyChart In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
.....
Next
....
