Here's how to set a chart, "Chart 1", location to the ActiveCell.
Sub MoveMe() With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1") .Left = ActiveCell.Left .Top = ActiveCell.Top End With End Sub Let me know if you need further help Charles Chickering xl Geek Jaylin wrote: I would like to generate a chart within the same datasheet at a defined position.

???How to set chart position
Dear Sir
Thank you very much for your fast life saving advice. One major problem I have is that I want the VB to create many charts in the same data sheet. Therefore, the name of the chart will change after each run. I wonder I can I define a dynamic name range after "ActiveSheets.shapes."?????" The following is part of my code Dim r As Integer r = 9 Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.").Range( _ Sheets("TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.").Cells(r, 8), Sheets("TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.").Cells(r, 20)), PlotBy:=xlRows ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.'!r6c13:r6c25" ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="TOP DMA OB VIETNAM." With ActiveChart .HasTitle = True .ChartTitle.Characters.Text = Sheets("TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.").Cells(r, 5) .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False End With With ActiveSheet.Shapes(Sheets("TOP DMA OB VIETNAM.").Cells(r, 5)) .Top = Range("C2").Top .Left = Range("C3").Left End With -- Thanks a million for your time and expert advice :-) Jaylin *****Jaylin Message ended******* "Jaylin" wrote: I would like to generate a chart within the same datasheet at a defined position.

Loop through you code however many times, moving down CHARTHEIGHT each time:
Dim i as Long Dim cht as Chart Const CHARTHEIGHT As single=100 For i =1 to RequiredCharts Set cht=Charts.add With cht 'Do your chart stuff .Top = Range("C2").Offset(i*CHARTHEIGHT,0).Top .Left = Range("C3").Left End With Next NickHK "Jaylin" wrote in message ...

???How to set chart position
You need to delete all the references to "ActiveChart", as you are working
with "cht" Also, the With cht/End With block should not include the .Top/.left properties, as those do not relate to cht. NickHK "Jaylin" wrote in message ...

You'll have better results if you use ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add instead
of Charts.Add, because it puts the chart directly on the sheet without creating an intermediate chart sheet.
