Using Excel 2010 I am trying to create a chart on Sheet1 using partial data from several different tables. In the below example I am just trying to pull the data from one table as a start. I seem to be having difficulty setting the range of this data in this table.
I will eventually loop through about 8 data columns of various lengths per table with approx. 21 tables. So any help automating this would be great
This is what I have so far...
Sub createChart()
Dim rng As Range
Dim chrt As Object
'Table is named BMS_01_01_Module_01 and the column Name I want data from is Cell 1 Voltage
Set chrt = Sheet1.Shapes.AddChart2
chrt.ChartArea.SetSourceData Source:=activesheetlistobjects("BMS_01_01_Module_01").ListColumns("Cell 1 Voltage").Range
chrt.ChartArea.ChartType = x1Line
End Sub
I ended up making some changes to my code. I just wish there was a way to reference the table without having to activate the sheet the table is in first. Note: the Chart and Tables are not on the same sheets.
This is what ended up working for a single range:
Sub createChart()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cht As Object
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Set cht = Sheet1.Shapes.addChart
Worksheets("BMS_01_Module_01").Activate
Set Ws = ActiveSheet
Ws.ListObjects("BMS_01_Module_01").ListColumns("Cell 1 Voltage").Range.Select
cht.Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Selection
cht.Chart.ChartType = xlLine
End Sub
