Hello,

I have several curves on the same charts and want to apply a specific formatting to a group of curves.
Do you know how to select charts with vba and chose the desired style?
I am new to vba, so I am looking for something simple and this is what I did so far :

ActiveChart.Shapes.Range(Array("Chart1", "Chart2")).Select
With Selection.Format.Line
Selection.MarkerStyle = -4142
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorAccent5
.ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
.Transparency = 0
End With

Thank you

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hi *Soum and Welcome to the Board! Here's the basic outline for formatting all chart series. Adjust the sheet and chart name to suit. HTH. Dave
Code:
Dim Cnt As Integer
For Cnt = 1 To Sheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects("Chart1").Chart.SeriesCollection.Count
With Sheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects("Chart1").Chart.SeriesCollection(Cnt)
'.Border.ColorIndex = 1
'.Border.Weight = xlMedium
'.Border.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleNone
'.MarkerStyle = -4142
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorAccent5
.ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
.Transparency = 0
End With
Next Cnt
ps. Please use code tags
