Range Empty for Dynamic Chart VBA












-1














I'm trying to create a dynamic sourcedata on a chart in VBA as this can vary depending on the data being pulled in via a macro. So far I have:



Set Rng = Sheets("Mapping Tables").Range("J13", Sheets("Mapping Tables").Range("J13").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight)).Select

Worksheets("Vintage").Charts("Vintage_1").SetSourceData Rng, PlotBy:=xlColumns


However, when I step through the code in the set range command, my cells are being selected. When I run through the SetSourceData step nothing happens. When I hover over the Rng variable it says = nothing.



I've never really done dynamic charts before but I cannot understand why my range equals nothing when my range is being selected.



Thanks in advance.

          Try this.



          Sub test()
          Dim Rng As Range
          Dim obj As ChartObject
          Set Rng = Sheets("Mapping Tables").Range("J13", Sheets("Mapping Tables").Range("J13").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight))

          Set obj = Worksheets("Vintage").ChartObjects("Vintage_1")
          With obj.Chart
          .SetSourceData Rng, PlotBy:=xlColumns
          End With
          End Sub

            actually the first line should give you an error, if I'm not mistaken. You cannot set a range to a ".select" statement.
            Try deleting the ".select" at the end



            Edit: when you're defining a continuous range (e.g. a table), you can use something cleaner:



            set Rng = Sheets("Mapping Tables").Range("J13").CurrentRegion

            • Thanks, I've not used currentregion before, however I still can't seem to get my chart to update based on that range, just steps through the code but with no action (no error either).
