Using a Macro to update a chart range

[Benno64]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Macro's and have been googling/youtub'ing a lot so far, but I am now stuck. I have a spreadsheet with 20 sheets in that are all identical and house data within a table (all of which are the same amount of rows). The data from each sheet feeds into a graph that is on the same sheet. I have noticed that there is an error in the graph and it is not selecting all the rows in the table. I wrote a macro using the macro recorded and recorded the actions on sheet 1. The steps I recorded were to change the graph range to include all rows in the table and also a few other chat formatting things.

I applied the macro to the other sheets and I thought it worked fine. However the graphs on sheets 2-20 have now all been updated so that the ranges pull from sheet 1 and not the sheets that the graphs are located on. I dont know if im missing something really simple or a basic understanding but I cant for the life of me figure it out. I just want the macro to run within the sheet and not use the range from sheet 1. Here is the VBA code below.

In this example 'sheet 1' that I have mentioned above is "Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)"

Hoping anyone can help! Thanks

Columns("H:Z").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=54
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
"='Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)'!$B$22:$B$30"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = _
"='Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)'!$F$22:$F$30"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(2).Name = "='Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)'!$M$48"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(3).Name = "='Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)'!$M$49"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(4).Name = "='Blend 2.1 (intra-gran)'!$M$50"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=39
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(3).DataLabels.Select
Selection.ShowSeriesName = True
Selection.ShowRange = False
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(2).DataLabels.Select
Selection.ShowSeriesName = True
End Sub

Untested, therefore please test on a copy of your workbook.

Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=54
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
"='" & ActiveSheet.Name & "'!$B$22:$B$30"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = _
"='" & ActiveSheet.Name & "'!$F$22:$F$30"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(2).Name = "='" & ActiveSheet.Name & "'!$M$48"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(3).Name = "='" & ActiveSheet.Name & "'!$M$49"
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(4).Name = "='" & ActiveSheet.Name & "'!$M$50"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=39
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(3).DataLabels.Select
Selection.ShowSeriesName = True
Selection.ShowRange = False
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(2).DataLabels.Select
Selection.ShowSeriesName = True
End Sub

The macro could be refined by directly referring to the chart on a sheet instead of the Activate and ActiveSheet code that the macro recorder gives you. Also, to loop through all the sheets rather than having to manually activate each sheet.

Hey, this worked great! Sorry for a slight delay in responding here - I've been out of office in work. Im going to cycle it through all sheets now Thanks again
