Hi,
I am creating a chart in Excel.
At lines 15-17 (see below) I get
"Method 'Axes' of Object 'Chart_Chart' failed."
Any help in getting this chart to create would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jimmy


2 Charts.Add
3 ActiveChart.ApplyCustomType ChartType:=xlBuiltIn,
TypeName:= _
4 "Lines on 2 Axes"
5 ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Chart").Range(topLeft &
":" & bottomRight), PlotBy:= _
6 xlRows
7 ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject,
Name:="Chart"
8 With ActiveChart
9 .HasTitle = True
10 .ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Bid/Quote Success Rate"
11 .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
12 .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
13 .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = _

14 "# of Bids/Quotes Received"
15 ' .Axes(xlCategory, xlSecondary).HasTitle = False
16 ' .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).HasTitle = True
17 ' .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text
= _
18 "% Submitted of Received or % Won to Date of
Submitted/Received"
19 End With

Hi,

Does the range defined by topleft and bottomright have enough columns to
have series placed on the secondary axis?
I would imagine trying to set the properties of the secondary axis that
does not exist would cause problems.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks for getting back to me, Andy.

XL02
-------------------------------------------------------------
In this case
topright = E5 and
bottomleft = Q9

The goal is for Row6 to be plotted on the primary axis and for Rows
7-9 to be plotted on the secondary access.

Here is a smattering of the chart data I use:
E F G
H I
5 Mar-00 Apr-04 Jun-04
Apr-05
6 # of Bids/Quotes Received 768 117 1,050 172
7 % Submitted of Received 17.2% 8.5% 9.6% 19.2%
8 % Won to Date of Submitted 66.8% 2.5% 5.9% 8.2%
9 % Won to Date of Received 1.5% 2.0% 4.8% 4.3%





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another potential problem here is that my enduser has requested a
custom-type chart called "Lines on Two Axes" and I am unfamiliar with
how to code for this type of chart

I am able to create this chart manually. The "record" code in concert
with my lack of experience with this type of chart is a problem.

Again, thanks-
JR
