Problems with running a macro

Hi,

I used the macro record button and then made a graph from start to finish (on sheet 2, where all my data is on sheet 1). Then I created a button to run the macro, linked that button to the maco I made. However when I click the button to run the maco I get the error seen below


Then the graph shows up, on sheet 1 even though that is not where I made it.

How do I fix this?

I do not know what the error means or what to do. This is my first excel macro.

Thanks for the help

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Oh it does not look like my picture showed up, the error I got was a Microsoft Visual Basic, runt time error. The item with the specified name wasn't found.
