Greetings,

I am running into a Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed error in my macro below

Code:
Dim AA as String:    AA = ActiveSheet.Name
ActiveSheet.Activate
Range("A4:K300").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(227,xlLine).Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("AA!$A$4:$K$300")
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsNewSheet

I am receiving the error on line:

Code:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("AA!$A$4:$K$300")

I suspect it has something to do with the sheet name and possibly variable type. Any ideas why this might be?

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Try

Code:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("'" & AA & "'!$A$4:$K$300")

Whilst I no nothing about charts, having never used them. Try
Code:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("'" & AA & "'!$A$4:$K$300")

Hello,

You can also write it in this way:

Code:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("AA").Range("A4:K300")

As AA is a variable, you would need to remove the quotes from it

Test without sheet

ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("$A$4:$K$300")
