The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Controlling a chart in Excel with VBA

Asked by samsoro in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: excel, vba, range, seriescollection

I am trying to refresh an existing chart where the charted series will change depending on the input by the user:
 - how many funds are to be charted (determined by variable 'reportSize')
 - what series are to be shown (determined by 'wts' where of a possible number of 12 characteristics, only those with weights above zero are included

Here are the problems I am having:
 - I thought it would be easiest to delete the entire Series Collection and then add new series as I need them...the delete method, however, cannot be applied to the whole lot at once
 - When I try to Set wtSeries, I seem to be picking up a single cell, not the range I am trying reference, giving me a error when I try to set the SeriesCollection.Value = wtdSeries (incidentally, 'Set wtNames' works fine as it is a single cell)

The error message is: "Run-Time Error '438': Object does not support this property or method"

Here is the code....any help is much appreciated:

Dim wts() As Double ' gathered from a named range which includes the user weights; series with weights of zero are excluded
Dim m As Integer
Dim n As Integer
Dim wtSeries As Range
Dim wtName As Range
Dim reportSize As Integer ' number of funds to be included in the graph
Dim attribGraph As Object

reportSize = Worksheets("HYRank").Range("reporting")
Set attribGraph = Worksheets("HYReport").ChartObjects("Chart 67").Chart

wtOptions = 12
ReDim wts(wtOptions, 1)

With Worksheets("HYReport").Range("makeChart")
    For n = 1 To wtOptions
        wts(n, 1) = .Cells(1, n)
    Next n
End With

With attribGraph
    n = 1
    For m = 1 To wtOptions
        If wts(m, 1) > 0 Then
            With Worksheets("HYReport")
                Set wtSeries = .Range("attribution")(.Cells(1, m), .Cells(reportSize, m))
                Set wtName = .Range("attribName").Cells(1, m)
            End With
                .SeriesCollection.NewSeries
                .SeriesCollection(n).Name = wtName
                .SeriesCollection(n).Value = wtSeries
        End If
    Next m
End With
