X-axis trouble
 

I'm using the below code to try to define the min and max of the x range
on a chart with two numbers that I have dynamically named in a cell
(Chart_Date_Pmonth and Chart_Date_Tmonth). These numbers change over
time. However, I cannot get the code to accept these named variables.


Code:
--------------------
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select
Set ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = Chart_Date_Pmonth
Set ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = Chart_Date_Tmonth
--------------------

Hi Brian,

I suppose you variables are defined as "Range", therefore please try

Set ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = range("Chart_Date_Pmonth").value
Set ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = range("Chart_Date_Tmonth").value

Best regards

Wolf

Yep, that does it. I got it figured out at about the same time you did.
Thank you very much for the help.
