I was wondering if you were able to help me find out how to change the color of a graphs bar in Excel. I am using Progress (DataBase software) to populate the worksheet and then using another call to create a chart form the data in the worksheet.

I have tried using the ColorIndex to change the color of the graph, but failed, any ideas?
 
Hmmm, Does it work if you remove it?

You may also need to activate the chart first.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Activate

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
chExcelApplication:ActiveChart:SeriesCollection(1):Interior:ColorIndex = 3.

Strange, as you usually need to use the handle to carry out any kind of transactions on the object.

Thank you for all your help! Your a champ!
