Macros for graph formatting
Hi, I am generating a bar graph that projects future values for year 2007-2011. I want the future value bars to be shaded 75%. I tried t record a macro to do this (basically record macro- select individua bar - right click - etc etc to change the bar shading to 75%). But can't seem to get this to work. Maybe it's a relative referenc problem? Any help would be appreciated. Is what I'm trying to do eve possible with macros? Thanks -- Weissm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Weissme's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3404 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=53805 |

Macros for graph formatting
Is this what you were trying to get:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(3).Select With Selection.Border .Weight = xlThin .LineStyle = xlAutomatic End With Selection.Shadow = False Selection.InvertIfNegative = False Selection.Fill.Patterned Pattern:=msoPattern75Percent With Selection .Fill.Visible = True .Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 17 .Fill.BackColor.SchemeColor = 2 End With Of course, you wouldn't use the code like above. This is streamlined by leaving out the select/selection and the defaults: With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(3) With .Fill .Patterned Pattern:=msoPattern75Percent .Visible = True .ForeColor.SchemeColor = 17 .BackColor.SchemeColor = 2 End With End With - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Weissme" wrote in message ...
