[TD="class: postcell"] Hi,

I've been working on the problem of automating the plotting of line diagrams. But I did not yet manage to solve it yet.


I would need multiple charts one for each column (from E to R) using the same column (B) for the X axis. The ultimate aim is to be able to clean out the extreme or outlying values.

Could anyone please help me with this problem, I would really appreciate it.


Thank you!


After recording a macro on one of the worksheets and editing the code I got the following:

I edited it so only the name of the worksheet has to be changed because all the 30 worksheets I have to run this on have the same structure, but the best would be if it could run automatically for all the sheets in the actual file.

Unfortunately it stops after the first graph giving me a runtime error.
