Hi,

Wrote this code to run and format three series everytime a pivot table updates.
With three series I am formatting the colours of all three and the making the third series a secondary axis and a line chart. What am I doing wrong? the macro is not running everytime I select a slice

Code:
[I]Sub SecondaryAxis()[/I]
[I]'[/I]
[I]' SecondaryAxis Macro[/I]
[I]'[/I]

[I]'[/I]
[I]Dim ser As Series[/I]
[I]On Error Resume Next[/I]

[I]ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Acivate[/I]


[I]Set ser = Nothing[/I]
[I]Set ser = ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection("Series 1")[/I]
[I]If Not ser Is Nothing Then[/I]
[I]    With ser[/I]
[I]        ser.ChartType = xlColumnClustered[/I]
[I]        ser.AxisGroup = xlPrimary[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]
[I]'Dark Blue[/I]
[I]    With ser.Format.Fill[/I]
[I]        .Visible = msoTrue[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(10, 66, 121)[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0[/I]
[I]        .Transparency = 0[/I]
[I]        .Solid[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]
[I]End If[/I]


[I]Set ser = Nothing[/I]
[I]Set ser = ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection("Series 2")[/I]
[I]If Not ser Is Nothing Then[/I]
[I]    With ser[/I]
[I]        ser.ChartType = xlColumnClustered[/I]
[I]        ser.AxisGroup = xlPrimary[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]
[I]'Green[/I]
[I]    With ser.Format.Fill[/I]
[I]        .Visible = msoTrue[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(98, 179, 26)[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0[/I]
[I]        .Transparency = 0[/I]
[I]        .Solid[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]
[I]End If[/I]

[I]Set ser = Nothing[/I]
[I]Set ser = ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection("Series 3")[/I]
[I]If Not ser Is Nothing Then[/I]
[I]    With ser[/I]
[I]        ser.ChartType = xlLine[/I]
[I]        ser.AxisGroup = xlSecondary[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]
[I]    With ser.Format.Fill[/I]
[I]        .Visible = msoTrue[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(235, 48, 20)[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0[/I]
[I]        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0[/I]
[I]        .Transparency = 0[/I]
[I]        .Solid[/I]
[I]    End With[/I]

[I]End If[/I]

[I]End Sub[/I]


And inserted into Pivot table update as such

Code:
[I]Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)[/I]
[I]SecondaryAxis[/I]

[I]End Sub

'I am doing this to solve the issue of pivot charts "forgetting" formatting everytime a slicer selection is done
