Selecting chartobject without index no.

[Jaylin]

I have 25 worksheets each with 2 graphs.
I need to revise the source series for all the graphs in these worksheets.

I thought I can use VB language to auto change the series reference
but I do not know the index number for each of the chart

"ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("index").Activate

Hope I could have advice on how to activate each charts without useing the
chart index

Well, first of all, if the index is a number, make sure you don't put it in
quotes. Second of all, you can name the charts uniquely, either in code if
the charts are generated automatically, or by hand after the fact. This page
discusses chart names:

To find out the chart object index, run this from the Immediate Widow, and
see what's activated:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Select

Change the (1) to see what all the numbers refer to.
