I have a chart called INCOMEGRAPH.
I wrote a macro to remove a series if the chart was selected.
But I would like to not select the chart just to delete.

I thougth this might work
Code:
With Chart("INCOMEGRAPH")
.SeriesCollection("JAN").Delete
End With

But it does not. How would I refer to a chart without making it ActiveChart?

Thanks for taking a look!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Hi,

Try this:

Code:
With Sheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects("INCOMEGRAPH")
    .Chart.SeriesCollection("JAN").Delete
End With

You can replace Sheets("Sheet1") with ActiveSheet or Sheet1 etc.

I find Jon Peltier's website awesome for information about all kinds of things charts related:
