Hi guys


So I have multiple series but for each point in the serie i want to have a different name. In excel i can select these names but after closing the file en re-opening again, i will have to "refresh" all the series before i can enter new point in a serie.


my code so far but it keeps being stuck on the first serie, the graph only shows the data labels of the first serie.




Sub CreateDataLabels()


'variables for looping over chart objects
Dim BrainstormChart As Chart
Dim Categories As Series

'variables for looping over cells
Dim SingleCell As Range
Dim List As Range

'variable to keep track of number of ideas
Dim IdeaCounter As Integer


IdeaCounter = 1


Set List = Worksheets("Brainstorm Input").Range("C5", "C79")
Set BrainstormChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Grafiek 1").Chart

'loop over each data series and enable data labels
For Each Categories In BrainstormChart.SeriesCollection
Categories.HasDataLabels = True
Next Categories

'loop over each cell in the list of source data
For Each SingleCell In List
'loop over each series in the chart
For Each Categories In BrainstormChart.SeriesCollection
'change the label text to be the idea's name
Categories.Points(IdeaCounter).DataLabel.Text = SingleCell.Value
On Error Resume Next
Next Categories

IdeaCounter = IdeaCounter + 1
Next SingleCell

End Sub








What i have to do every single time when opening the file is this (i recorded my steps as a macro) :


Sub Brainstormrefresh()
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Grafiek 1").Activate
ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataLabelCenter)
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Grafiek 1").Activate
