Changing Multiple Axis Labels

Hi,

I'm trying to write a sub routine that will work through each chart on a worksheet and change the vertical axis labels to the format code £##,##0,,""m"", however it keeps debugging though on the 'For Each cht In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects' line and I'm not sure why?



Sub format_turnover()

Dim cht As Chart

For Each cht In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects

cht.Axes(xlValue).Select
Selection.TickLabels.NumberFormat = "£##,##0,,""m"""

Next cht

End Sub

RE: Changing Multiple Axis Labels

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the forum question.

Yes it is not always easy to work with charts in VBA.

Please have a look at the codes below. I have created two codes both should work with your charts.

Sub format_turnover()

Dim cht As ChartObject



With ActiveSheet

For Each cht In .ChartObjects

cht.Select

ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select

Selection.TickLabels.NumberFormat = "£ #,##0.00 ""M"""


Next cht
End With
End Sub

Sub format_turnover()



For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count



ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(i).Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select

Selection.TickLabels.NumberFormat = "£ #,##0.00 ""M"""


Next i

End Sub

Please let me know if it is not working.

Kind regards
