Multiple selected charts
 

I'd like to get hold of an object or collection representing the
(possibly multiple) charts that the user has selected. If the user has
only one chart selected then 'Application.Selection' returns a
'ChartArea' object and 'Application.ActiveChart' returns a 'Chart'
object, both of which would be fine. However, if the user has more
than one chart selected then 'Application.Selection' returns a
'ChartObjects' collection representing all the charts on the sheet
(not just the ones selected) while 'Application.ActiveChart' returns
'Nothing'.

I can't find a 'ChartObject.Active' or 'ChartObject.Selected' method
that would allow me to determine which of the "ChartObjects'
collection returned from 'Application.Selection'.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

James

Multiple selected charts
 

It is not a good idea to rely on selected charts, far better to give them
meaningful names and use those names

Here is some code to iterate them all

Dim chrt As ChartObject

For Each chrt In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects

MsgBox chrt.Name
Next chrt
