How to customize error bars by VB code?

[mperez1508]

Hello NG,


from a Visual Basic (6) project, I need to customize the error bar of a

chart, to get a different value for each data point.


In Excel, this is done with a range reference:


ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1­).ErrorBar Direction:=xlY, Include:= _
xlPlusValues, Type:=xlCustom, Amount:="=Hoja1!R1C3:R2C3"


but I need to do this by VB code, in order to control a OLE-Chart.
Reference to the datasheet-range is not working:


oGraph.SeriesCollection(1).Err­orBar Direction:=xlY, Include:=xlBoth,
_
Type:=xlCustom, Amount:=oGraph.Application.Dat­aSheet.Range("A1:A3")



Any ideas?


Thanks in advance (and sorry for crossposting)

Amount:="=Hoja1!R1C3:R2C3"
is a text string (which works)

Amount:=oGraph.Application.Dat­aSheet.Range("A1:A3")
is an range object (which doesn't work)

therefore, try passing it a string (aircode):
Amount:= "=" & oGraph.Application.Dat­aSheet.Range("A1:A3").Address

Remove 'Junk' from return address.

thanks George, but this produced a "Object doesn´t support this
property or method" error.

Do remember to check the responses to your multipost in .charting (and
