Change Multiple chart source data
 

I have 200 charts (7 on each page)with one data page. I'd like to be
able to loop through the pages and charts and the row addresses. My
goal is to be able to change the column address from "f" to say "h"
for example, and have the macro loop through all the pages, charts
and range addresses.

I've figured out how to loop through activating the page and the
charts on each page, but can't figure out how to express the range
statement

.Range("A2:f6"),

with variables so I can loop through the row values for each chart.
I've tried statements like this -- but no luck. Am I just getting the
syntax wrong?

ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A" &
"z" & ":" & "F" & "y"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows


I would like to loop rather than having 200 statement like this since
the column names are the same throughout and the row numbers increment
by 7.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A2:f6"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A9:f13"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A16:f20"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows


Your help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Possibly you could loop through the seriescollection of each chart and do
something like:

ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Formula = Application.Substitute( _
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Formula,"$F","$H")


The results of checking the formula property is

? ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Formula
=SERIES('[aa_book1.xls]Sheet1'!$F$1,,'[aa_book1.xls]Sheet1'!$F$2:$F$14,1)

This is the mechanism behind the Change Series Formula macro I've posted
on my web site:

I have a few choices built into it: Active Chart vs. All Charts on
Sheet. Another For-Next loop around that will get all charts on all sheets.
