getting the active chart/chartobject's name
 

Given the code below, does anyone have any suggestions on how to
obtain the active chart/chartobject's name so that I can address
Shape(name) properly when I try ot move the shape?

Thanks!

How about this?


With .ActiveWorkbook
.Sheets("Sheet1").Select
.ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
.ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
End With

Thanks!

The problem is that I don't know for certain the name inside the
chartobjects() identifier or shapes() identifier.

getting the active chart/chartobject's name
 

after this line
ngName = normalgraph.Name
add
sChtObjName = normalgraph.Parent.Name

If all you want to do is move it with in the same routine as you created it,
simply

With normalgraph.Parent
..Left = 10
..Top = 20
' .width & .height if necessary
End With

However, no need to first add a chart sheet, add the chartobject to the
requisite sheet, sized to suit, eg

Sub test2()
Dim chtObj As ChartObject
Dim cht As Chart
Dim cell As Range

Set cell = ActiveSheet.Range("B3")

With cell
Set chtObj = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(.Left, .Top, 300, 200)
End With

Set cht = chtObj.Chart

With cht
' build the chart

End With

End Sub

Hi,

Try this code,

'----------
Set normalgraph = Charts.Add
Set normalgraph = _
normalgraph.Location(whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=wsname)

With Worksheets(wsname)
Set normalgraph = .ChartObjects(.ChartObjects.Count).Chart
End With
ngName = normalgraph.Parent.Name
'----------

Cheers
Andy
