Pivot table and graphing problems????


Posted by merlin on January 05, 2001 3:02 PM

Hi all. How are you?

Here's my problem. I'm trying to make a macro that will generate a pivot table from imported data every month Then from the pivot table make a graph. (I can do all that) But i run into problems when i try to format the graph's size. When the macro runs it doesn't know the chart name. (i think)

My questions:
1)
The VBA code generates this:

ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").ScaleWidth 1.28, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft

When i took this code out, the macro worked.

I believe the problem is with the name "Chart 1". What should I put in for "Chart 1" to get the macro to work?

2) I also want the prevous graph/chart deleted every time i run the macro. How can I delete the chart if i don't know the name whenever i refresh the data?

thanks in advance,
brian

Hi Brian

If you only ever have the one chart on the sheet then you could use

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Delete


...Or set the chart name like:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Name = ActiveSheet.Name
