First off, Excel 2003.
OK, first some background. I'm getting variable data sets back from a database. (Variable because what gets captured varies by station and run, this part is out of my control) I use ADO to put the data into a worksheet, OK. I have a list of column headers where if they show up, I want to plot them. I go through the column headers looking to see if they match, and if they do, I add them as a series to the chart. In addition, if the column header contains the word "weight", I want to plot that on a secondary axis and use diamond markers to indicate those lines are using the secondary axis. At this point, everything is fine, EXCEPT... Although the order of the series I added is the order in which I added them, the Legend Entries are not. My routine in words is Create a new series Assign attributes If the name has "Weight" in it, I alter the last legend entry (Using .count) This "works" when I ASS-U-ME the series I just added will be the last legend entry. In my test case, it works for the first six series I add: FluidNumber Pump Rate Pump Volume Oil Weight Water Weight Sand Weight However, stepping through the code, the next .NewSeries shows up at postion 4 in the legend. FluidNumber Pump Rate Pump Volume New Series Oil Weight Water Weight Sand Weight I set Series.Name to "Sand DP" (from New Series) and since it doesn't have the text "weight", I set LegendEntry(7) to be with no marker, which is not what I want. Any Ideas on what's happening or how to code this? Thanks, Bob |
