Macro to loop through each row and create a 3d stacked bar graph per row

[TMan1980]

Hi all,

I have created my Do Loop to loop through my excel spreadsheet by row but I am stuck on creating a 3D stacked bar chart for each row,

here is sample data

Name Salary Bonus Other Chart

a 50 30 20
b 60 40 25
c 35 15 10


I would like each row to automatically create a chart by clicking the assigned macro button

Any help would be appreciated

this may help

Dim myRange As Range
r = ActiveCell.Row
Set myRange = Range("A" & r & ":D" & r)
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(286, xl3DColumnStacked).Select
    ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=myRange

Ross,

This looks like it definitely adds the chart.. is there a way to get each chart to fit inside column d and the row it corresponds too?

Assuming that the active sheet contains the data, and that the data is located in Columns A through D, and that the corresponding chart for each row is to be created in Column E, try...

Option Explicit

Sub Create3DStackedBarCharts()


    Dim currentChart As Chart
    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    
    lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    
    For i = 2 To lastRow
        Set currentChart = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(XlChartType:=xl3DBarStacked, Left:=Cells(i, "E").Left, Top:=Cells(i, "E").Top, Width:=Cells(i, "E").Width, Height:=Cells(i, "E").Height).Chart
        With currentChart
            .SetSourceData Range("A" & i & ":D" & i)
            .PlotBy = xlColumns
        End With
    Next i
    
    Set currentChart = Nothing
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!
