Great site and learned a lot alreay, thanks!
Now I need to create multiple pie charts based on data in tables on many sheets.
I need to create the same set of charts, for each sheet separately.
I recorded a macro for one sheet, which created following code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$2"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$D$6:$D$8"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6:$A$8"
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$6:$C$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$7:$C$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
However I cannot automate. I tried different methods for creating the charts, as found on the site [prefer .chartobjects.add(x,y,z,a) since I can immediately position the chart] , but get stuck at seriescollection everytime.
It looks like when the chart is created by XL (with suggested data in it) I cannot address the series data.
I got it right to generate a chartobject that is empty, then added the series data to it, but when opening the new chartobject, it is again populated with suggested data.
How do I generate an empty chartobject everytime, so I can insert seriescollection info with code?
Any other way to generate charts?
