VBA to set maximum scale on chart secondary scale only

[SaraB802]

So I tried to research this online and found loads of vba to set all the settings and thought my cut down version below would work, and it didn't!
I keep getting a system error &H80070057 (-2147024809)


Sub ScaleAxes()
Worksheets("PM and Programme view").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart1").Active
Chart1.Axes(xlCategory, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value

End Sub

If anyone can help to resolve this that would be great!

Thanks

Hi SaraB802 - Please try the code below that worked for me. Remember that Chart 1 has a space and the method is activate.

Sub ScaleAxes_SaraB802()
 Worksheets("PM and Programme view").Select
' ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").activate
' Chart1.Axes(xlCategory, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value
    ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").activate
    ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select
    ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value
 End Sub

I found this solution by recording the macro and then modifying as necessary.

Hi Goser

When I tried it I got a object required error, when I tried it. My code is:



Worksheets("PM and Programme view").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate


Chart1.Axes(xlCategory, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value

Sorry

Hi SaraB802 - Sorry for the miscommunication. When there is an apostrophe starting a line in VBA code that means that the line is commented out. It is best to copy and paste when trying code when possible. Try the code below. It does work in my test case.

Sub ScaleAxes_SaraB802()
 Worksheets("PM and Programme view").Select
    ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").activate
    ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select
    ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = Range("AG26").Value

 End Sub
