I have a chart and I want, by using VBA to change the color of series1, but WITHOUT highlighting or activating the chart.

How would this code:
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("CoasterMainChart").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Border.ColorIndex = 45

be able to be turned into something like this:
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("CoasterMainChart").SeriesCollection(1).Border.ColorIndex = 45

which right gives me an error.

Thanks!

If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
