Draw Smooth Transparent Shapes on Radar Chart

[willytan]

Hi guys,

I have tried to run the code given to draw smooth transparent shapes on radar chart, as suggested by Peltier as shown in the website below.

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/VBAdrawradar.html#SmoothTransShape

I believe some of you should be an expert in handling the chartin Excel, therefore your help will be greatly appreciated!

It seems there is some customization needed in order for this code to run smoothly at any excel file. You guys can help me to highlight anything that I might miss out on the code written.


Once again, thank you for your great assistance and help, guys! Looking forward to hearing back a good news from you guys soon!


Warmest Regards,
Willy
