Auto-Range and Scaling of Chart Axes

I have two charts taking data from large ranges. Because there's no way for me to know what each user will face in their individual circumstance, I can't reliably set the Y-axis minimum or maximum to a fixed value. I want the charts to automatically determine the Y-axis as the users input their information. I know this is possible because I've done it before, but the source where I got the original information is gone and I'm having trouble reproducing it.

In my research, I came across some code, which I adapted for my purposes:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim targ1 As Range
Dim MinScale1 As Double, MaxScale1 As Double
Dim targ2 As Range
Dim MinScale2 As Double, MaxScale2 As Double
 
Set targ1 = Me.Range("X25:X483")
If Not Intersect(targ1, Target) Is Nothing Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    MinScale1 = Application.Min(targ1.Value)
    MaxScale1 = Application.Max(targ1.Value)
    TweakChartAxis Me.ChartObjects("Chart 18"), xlValue, MinScale1, MaxScale1
End If

Set targ2 = Me.Range("W25:W483")
If Not Intersect(targ2, Target) Is Nothing Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    MinScale2 = Application.Min(targ2.Value)
    MaxScale2 = Application.Max(targ2.Value)
    TweakChartAxis Me.ChartObjects("Chart 14"), xlValue, MinScale2, MaxScale2
End If

End Sub

The original code was only for one chart, but I adapted it for two. I am, unfortunately, getting a Compile Error claiming "Sub or Function not defined". I get what it wants, but not what I specifically need to do to fix it as my knowledge of VBA is strictly limited. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Is the code residing in a standard module? The worksheetchange event indicates that it should be inside a worksheet object

Also the me. Sheets reference dosent seem to be declared nor set. If you delete all instances of me the range reference will refer to the Active sheet

That had the answers I was looking for, thanks!

Go figure, it's also where I originally got the solution months ago, but for some reason I couldn't find it again. So double thanks and bookmarked!

It was in the worksheet object, as needed. I didn't realize the .me was a problem, and getting rid of it did stop the error from popping up. Alas, the code still wasn't doing what I wanted. Fortunately, daverunt's answer above gave me what I needed to make it work.

Still, thanks for the assist. Now I get why the error was popping up and can hopefully avoid it in the future.
