I have a worksheet with 26 columns and 95 rows. I select and highlight columns
"v" and "z" Column "v" has the label BE and column "z" has the label PP.
I have a vba macro shown below that plots the xyscatterchart and labels the x
and y axis. the xyscatterchart always automatically chooses the z column (the
furthest righthand column) as the y data points and the v column as the x data
points. This data point selection happens no matter which column I select
first.(I select a column and then hold down the <ctrl> and select a 2nd column).
However, when I find the axis labels from the rng=selection, the rng(1).value is
always the label of the column I select first. If I select column z first and
then column v, the x axis label rgn(1).value =PP while the xyscatterchart makes
the z column values as the y axis values.
Since the selection of the 2 columns for the xyscatterchart is random, and the y
axis will always be the furthest righthand column chosen how do I find the
correct column labels without making sure I select the left most column first?
Also another weird thing is that when I select any 2 columns in the worksheet,
lNumRows=65536 and lNumCols=1. lNumRows should be 95 and lNumcol should be 2.
Why is this happening?
Thanks for any help with this problem.
