Automating Chart elements in vba routine

I have a bar chart in Excel (2016) which derives its data from various places in a complicated spread sheet by the user selecting certain variables to show using a user form. If a set of data is shown or not is automated in excel by either collecting values, or setting all the values to 0.

Also when a set of data is populated (and therefore shown) the legend entry is formatted by the text build up routine.

Code:
Sub RanPop2()
ReDim POSarray(1 To DDepth)
    ' Debug.Print RanDate
    With Worksheets("RunningTotals")
        LastCol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    End With
    With Worksheets("RunningTotals")
        With .Range(.Range("A1"), .Range("A1").Offset(0, LastCol))
            Set RanCol = .Find(What:=RanDate, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
                If Not RanCol Is Nothing Then
                ' Debug.Print rFind.Column
                    For I = 1 To DDepth
                        POSarray(I) = Worksheets("RunningTotals").Range("a2").Offset((YearOff + I), RanCol.Column)
                    Next I
                        Sheets("ChartByCount").FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = POSarray
                        Sheets("ChartByCount").FullSeriesCollection(1).Name = Format(RanDate, "mmm-yy")
                End If
        End With
    End With
End Sub
and when I want that series not to be shown this runs
Code:
Sub RanClr2()
ReDim POSarray(1 To 1)
        Sheets("ChartByCount").FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = POSarray
        Sheets("ChartByCount").FullSeriesCollection(1).Name = "=""Undefined"""
End Sub
the problem I have is that I want to insert the code into the routine to show or hide the specific legend entry for that particular series, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I suspect it has something to do with LegendEntry(n) but am struggling. currently they are invisible so think I may have inadvertently deleted them (individually) as the master series remains, but am not finding a route through this one.

I have also discovered that somehow in my code I have several index numbers for the same series, While this is not spoiling the running of the routine, I am confused why this is happening.

Any input at all would be greatly appreciated
