copy chart area
 

Hi All,

I need to make a copy of a template sheet, containing a chart area, which in
turn contains a plot area.
I create a new sheet, rename it, then copy contents of a template as
follows -
Sheets(TemplateSheet).Activate
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
Selection.Copy
With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
.Add After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.count)
End With
NewSheetName = "newname"
ActiveSheet.Name = NewSheetName
ActiveSheet.Paste
It copies all the spreadsheet, but no plot shows up on a copy.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

You're making a new sheet, and copying part of another sheet onto the
blank new sheet. Why not use a copy of the whole sheet instead:

Sheets(TemplateSheet).Copy After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.count)
NewSheetName = "newname"
ActiveSheet.Name = NewSheetName

Thank you, works great.
Can I ask for one more tip?
How can I give a new name to the chart on a copied sheet?

Thanks,

Jon,

Perfect site.
I meant changing a caption, which means -

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.ChartTitle.Capti on = "newname"

But I figured that out with your help.

Thanks!
