Hi, I am trying to rename only visible charts based on a range from a main
tab. Currently I was attempting to do something like the following:

For i = 1 To Charts.Count
If Charts(i).Visible = True Then
Charts(i).Name = range(indirect("Title" & i)).Value
End If
Next

The named range I want for each chart is housed on one main tab and are
named "Title1", €œTitle2" etc... and each number in the range name matches up
with the chart number (so for Chart 6 I would want renamed to the value in
range Title6). I see now the indirect function doesn't work, can anyone help
me make this work?

Thanks
K

You either need to spcify the sheet that contains the named range or use a
different approact to get to the named range...

For i = 1 To Charts.Count
If Charts(i).Visible = True Then
Charts(i).Name = worksheets("main").range("Title" & i).Value
End If
Next i

or

For i = 1 To Charts.Count
If Charts(i).Visible = True Then
Charts(i).Name = thisworkbook.names("Title" & i).Referestorange.value
End If
Next i
