I have a sheet (Dashboard) that has multiple Pareto charts, another sheet (Data) brings in the range for each chart via a formula in standard $A$1:$B$2 format.
how do I use these ranges from the Sheet "Data" in the Pareto charts in the "Dashboard"? Chart name is in Data B4 Chart Range is in Data C4 I have code for each chart for troubleshooting below is one from a single chart
Sub FirstChart()
Dim FirstChartName As String
Dim FirstChartRange As Range
FirstChartName = Sheets("Data").Range("B4")
Set FirstChartRange = Worksheets("Data").Range(Sheets("Data").Range("C4").Value)
Sheets("Dashboard").ChartObjects("FirstChart").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.HasTitle = True
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Text = FirstChartName
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=FirstChartRange
End Sub
Thanks in advance.

Relik,
I've had to post another answer as my reputation isn't high enough to reply with a comment. There's an absolutely filthy work around.... it seems the data does actually populate the graph is you just bypass the error message, and then set the y-axis scale to auto. See below for the code:
Option Explicit
Sub FirstChart()
Dim FirstChartName As String
Dim FirstChartRange As String
Dim rng As Range
Dim r As Range
Dim shtData As Excel.Worksheet
Dim shtDashboard As Excel.Worksheet
Dim chart As Excel.chart
Dim tmp As Variant
Set shtData = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
Set shtDashboard = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Dashboard")
' get chart name
FirstChartName = shtData.Range("B4").Value2
' get chart range
FirstChartRange = shtData.Range("C4").Value2
' change data for first chart
Set chart = shtDashboard.ChartObjects("FirstChart").chart
With chart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = FirstChartName
On Error Resume Next
.SetSourceData shtData.Range(FirstChartRange)
On Error GoTo 0
.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
End With
End Sub
Hope this helps with your issue!
