chart works in excel 2007, not 2003
 
The following code works fine in 2007. In 2003, I get error "1004 -
Unable to set the XValue property of the Series class" on the line
with the asterisk (*). If I move the line " chartpoint.ChartType =
xlLineMarkers" to after the line with the asterisk, it works fine
until it gets to the next line. I have been rearranging lines, but
have not found any arrangement that works with 2003. Any ideas?


newchart.Chart.SetSourceData Source:=.Range(.Cells(irow + 1,
1), .Cells(irow + 4, 61)) _
, PlotBy:=xlRows
Set chartpoint = newchart.Chart

chartpoint.HasLegend = False
chartpoint.HasDataTable = True
chartpoint.DataTable.ShowLegendKey = True
chartpoint.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
chartpoint.HasTitle = True
chartpoint.ChartTitle.Text = tpms(itask, itpm)
chartpoint.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
chartpoint.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
chartpoint.Axes(xlValue).AxisTitle.Text = units(itask, itpm)

* chartpoint.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = .Range("b6:bi6")
chartpoint.SeriesCollection(1).Format.Line.Visible = False

I'm guessing that you need to create a new series before you XValues line
with something like this:

chartpoint.SeriesCollection.NewSeries

Let me know if it works.

In general, despite the output of the macro recorder, VBA works more
reliably if you don't specify the ChartType until after the chart is
populated with data. Also, you have better control if you dispense with
SetSourceData, and instead delete any series in the newly created chart,
then use .NewSeries and .Values and .XValues to create and populate each
series.
