Hi All,

I'm a rookie in VBA and I have an Excel VBA issue that is driving me crazy. I have created dynamic charts that select their data using an offset formula and a defined range. I want to color the columns of the charts according to the second row of the sheet, but the numer of columns needs to come from the data of the charts. I want to apply the same macro to all of the charts in a sheet, all sheets of the workbook, if possible, that all have the same structure, but the number of columns varies.

I tried to write the code, but (obviously), it's not working:

VBA Code:
Sub ReColor()

    Dim cht As Chart
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim vntValues As Variant
    Dim s As String
    Dim j As Integer
    Dim s_new As Range
    Dim j_max As Integer
    Dim rColor As Range
    Dim xColumns As Long
    Dim ColumnLetter As String

j_max = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
    For j = 1 To j_max
        Set cht = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(j).Chart
        With cht.SeriesCollection(1)
            Set s_new = ActiveSheet.Range(Split(Split(.Formula, ",")(1), "!")(1))
            xColumns = s_new.Columns.Count
            ColumnLetter = Split(Cells(1, xColumns + 1).Address, "$")(1)
    Set rColor = .Range("$B$2:" & ColumnLetter & "$2")
For i = 1 To xColumns
                .Points(i).Interior.Color = rgbBlack
                .Points(i).Format.Fill.BackColor.RGB = Range(rColor).Cells(i).Font.Color
          Next
        End With
    Next

End Sub

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
