Adding data to an msgraph 8.0 object
I have a query in SQL and I want to add the data of the query to an MSGRAPH 8.0 object using code. So far, I have been able to select with code the type of chart as well as adding the the title of both AXIS and the main title of the chart. However, I still need to add the chart ROW LABELS and COLUMN LABELS of the chart, as well as adding the data of my query.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
'type of chart
MGO1.chartType = xlLine
'sets the legend of the chart on
MGO1.HasLegend = True
'sets the main title of the chart
MGO1.HasTitle = True
MGO1.ChartTitle.Text = "ANOMALÍAS"
'Set the Y axis title
MGO1.Axes(xlValue).HasTitle = True
MGO1.Axes(xlValue).AxisTitle.Caption = "Porcentajes"
'sets the X axis title
MGO1.Axes(xlCategory).HasTitle = True
MGO1.Axes(xlCategory).AxisTitle.Caption = "Periodos"

Hello Jeff,
The reason I need to use VBA is that although my query returns the relevant data I need, using the wizard does not give me what I want. Hence, my bet is that programatically manipulating the microsoft graph object, as I've done with the mschart I can obtain the kind of chart I need for my application. So far, as you can see in the code snippet, I've managed to partially manipulate the chart. However, I still need to know how to add the row and column labels, as well as the data that will be charted.

MGO1.Axes(xlCategory).HasTitle = True
MGO1.Axes(xlCategory).AxisTitle.Caption = "PERIODS"
hmmm.
Can you post some sample data and a screen-shot of the corresponding chart?
I'm just curious if I can recreate the chart.

Hello Jeff,
I found the reason why I was not able to obtain the appropriate chart with the data of my query. The problem was that I was using the FORMAT(data,"#0.00") function and, somehow, the data was interpreted as a string of characters instead of numbers. I modified the query and obtained the results I wanted.
However, I sill would like to know how to progamatically manipulate the MSGRAPH ;-)
Thanks in advance

Here is the same graph, (In a Report) created *without* VBA code.
https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/ee-stuff/6092-Access--EE-Q-23003107--Manual-C.zip
It took me less than 30 seconds!
:)
Are you sure you still want to use VBA code?
:O

Thanks for the help Jeff, I will keep resarching to see if I can programatically do the charts. Although with the appropiate query the assistant works well.
OK,
Happy Holidays!

I posted some advice in your previous post.
I am still wondering why you need VBA code to create your charts?
Granted, creating charts in Access is not easy.
;)
But once you get the hang of it, it is pretty straightforward.
Your charts can/will look as good as any chart in Excel.
