Hi,

I have a data table where i need to create a chart from.
The data for the chart is in column A (week numbers) and the actual
data is, depending on some situations on column G, or in column N, ...

every chart need the Week column.

I wrote something like (snipset):

Dim ChartWeekSource As Range
Dim ChartDataSource As Range

'Add chart(s)
While Trim(UnitFamilyList(Dummy)) < ""
Windows(datafilename).Activate
Sheets(UnitFamilyName2).Select
Cells(3, MyOffset).Select
ChartTitle = Selection.Offset(-1, -5).Value
Selection.Offset(0, -2).Select
LastRow = Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Rows.Count +
2
If LastRow = 65536 Then LastRow = 4
Range(Selection, Cells(LastRow, ActiveCell.Column)).Select
Set ChartWeekSource = Selection
Selection.Offset(0, 2).Select
Range(Selection, Cells(LastRow, ActiveCell.Column)).Select
Set ChartDataSource = Selection
'
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets(ChartSheet).Range(ChartWeekSource, ChartDataSource),
PlotBy:=xlColumns '<<<<<< problem
ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=ChartSheet
ChartNumber = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count

I get always a run time error 1004 when i set the data source for the
chart (see <<<<<<)

What am i doing wrong?

Ludo
