Using Named Range to Set DataSource in Chart
Hi,
I am trying to use a named Range which has been set in an earlier function to use as the SourceData for a chart being created in excel/vba code. My code looks like this: ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=XValues, PlotBy:=xlRows When I run this code, only one cell's value from the "XValues" Range appears on the X-Axis. I know the range consists of more than one cell with different values. I have also tried setting PlotBy = xlColumns and that does not work either. I can create the graph just fine when I select the range and and create a chart without vba. I guess one option would be to select the range and see if that works, but I don't really like to select cells in the code, but if that's the only option, I'll do it. Is there something I should be doing differently? Thanks, Dylan |

Using Named Range to Set DataSource in Chart
Peter,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this still does not work. I get the following error. Run-tine error '1004' Method 'Range of object '_Global falied I also tried to set the range in the same procedure, but I still got the same error. (I had been getting the value from a function earlier) I'll keep trying. Thanks again for your help! |

Sounds like there's something wrong with your named range -
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Names("myNamedRange").RefersTo MsgBox Range("myNamedRange").Address(, , , True) Regards, Peter T "Dyl" wrote in message oups.com... Peter, Thanks for your help.

Using Named Range to Set DataSource in Chart
Of course. I was indicating that perhaps Range("") needs to be more fully
qualified. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...
