Graphs

How is it possible to change the order of your bar labels in a chart using VBA?

RE: Graphs

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the question.

If you create a chart with 3 series, it could be January, February and March. Copy and paste the code below to a module.

Sub ChangeChart()

Dim iCounter As Integer
Dim vNewOrder As Variant
Dim strOldOrder(1 To 3) As String


vNewOrder = Array(3, 1, 2) ' set the order you want.

For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vNewOrder)

strOldOrder(iCounter) = ActiveChart. _
SeriesCollection(i + 1).Name

Next iCounter
For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vNewOrder)

ActiveChart. _
SeriesCollection(strOldOrder(iCounter)). _
PlotOrder = vNewOrder(iCounter)

Next iCounter


End Sub

In the Array function ( Array(3, 1, 2)) just type the order you want for your series.

I hope that helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Page Break Preview in Excel 2010 (Hint/tip)

If you select View then Workbook Views then Page Break Preview, you will be able to view how your Excel spreadsheet will be split across multiple pages when printed. Even better, you can also drag a page break to a new place. Excel will then scale down your entire worksheet to fit the information you want on the pages you want.
