Hi Experts
I trying to create a chart in one of my sheets by running a macro. Th macro runs fine and creates the chart, but keeps putting the chart int the first sheet. It should actually be placed as an object in the shee where the source data is found. This is the code generated by th macro: Code ------------------- Range("A14:H16").Select Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Brands by Brand").Range("A14:H16") _ , PlotBy:=xlRows ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Brands by Brand" With ActiveChart .HasTitle = True .ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Qty of Tyres Sold" .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False End With ActiveChart.HasLegend = True ActiveChart.Legend.Select Selection.Position = xlBottom ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").IncrementLeft -84.75 ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").IncrementTop 131.25 ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select With Selection.Border .Weight = xlThin .LineStyle = xlAutomatic End With Selection.Shadow = False Selection.InvertIfNegative = False With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 5 .Pattern = xlSolid End With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select With Selection.Border .Weight = xlThin .LineStyle = xlAutomatic End With Selection.Shadow = False Selection.InvertIfNegative = False With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 19 .Pattern = xlSolid End With ------------------- Am I right in assuming that this line: "ActiveChart.Locatio Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Brands by Brand"" indicates where th chart should be stored? On the other hand when I run the macro and create the graph, the las step is to decide if it should be stored as an object in the curren sheet or dumped into it's own sheet. This procedure is not being picke up so the chart ends up being dumped into the first sheet. Any help you can provide would be highly appreciated.
