'Floating Bars' chart type removed in 2007?
Egad! I have some office automation code that is no longer working
with Excel 2007. The main problem is that there is no longer a definition of "Floating Bars" chart type. Pseudo code is like: ..ActiveChart.ApplyCustomType(xlBuiltIn, "Floating Bars") Anyone have any ideas? |

'Floating Bars' chart type removed in 2007?
The inflexible and ugly built-in custom combination charts have been removed
from Excel 2007, but you can make most any combination chart you want. For a floating bar chart, you need two series, one for start, the other for duration (i.e., end minus start). Create a stacked bar chart, then format the start series to be invisible (no border, no fill). Avoid the lame 3D effects of the old built-in custom floating bar chart from old versions of Excel. Is anyone else amused by the "built-in custom" oxymoron? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "drs" wrote in message ups.com...
