Charts

We learnt how to create pivot tables through the back-end coding. Is it also possible to create charts? What is the best way to do this?

RE: Charts

Hi Melanie,

Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay in responding.

Please find the chart code below:


Sub ColumnClustered()

Dim aChart As Chart

Set aChart = Charts.Add
Set aChart = aChart.Location(Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Basic Concepts")

Sheets("Basic Concepts").Select


With aChart

.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Basic Concepts").Range("F1").CurrentRegion
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = "items per line"

With .Parent

.Top = Range("F14").Top
.Left = Range("F14").Left
.Name = "ItemsPerLine"

End With


End With

ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).Width = 1000
ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).Width = 500

End Sub

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
