Range

[stendahl_jones]

Hi I want to write the Range for a chart dynamically. My code now is:

Range(rng1.Address, rng1.Offset(i, j).Address).Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Indata").Range("rng1.Address :
rng1.Offset(i, 0).Address , rng2.Address:rng2.Offset(i,0).Address"),
PlotBy:=xlColumns

but is assume that it is the .Range(......) that is wrong. I get error
'1004' and the text 'the method Range in the object Global failed. referring
to the first Range(..). but i have also had trouble with the second one. How
do you write it the way it should? Pls any help wanted!

Try

Range(rng1, rng1.Offset(i, j)).Select

Thanks but problem is that I want to specify a range that consists e.g. of
several data sets that are not connected. For example the coulumn A and the D
may be needed in the chart along with data from the column F. How do you
solve this? It seems like a fairly easy problem (i.e. defining a range that
is 'split up') but my computer just gives me error. My code is now:

ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Indata").Range(rng1.Address,
rng1.Offset(i, 0).Address), PlotBy:=xlColumns

It is .Range(....) that gives me trouble. I just want to define a Range that
is 'split up' which is doable (when recording a macro). Please have tried all
I can think of but it still does not work!!! Help!!!

Try this then

Union(rng1, rng1.Offset(i, j)).Select

yes thank you but that does not give the possibility to refer to multiple
ranges. i just want to know how this is done without refering directly to
cells. When refering directly is no problem but the same syntax does not work
when refering indirectly as I want to. E.g. my code is:

ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Indata").Range("rng1.Address:rng1.Offset(1, 0).Address,
rng2.Address:rng2.Offset(3,0).Address"), PlotBy:=xlColumns

and it does not work. If you know how to write this I would be very grateful!

You must be looking at something different than me, the union manages
multiple ranges, and the example shows two.
