Excel 2003 VBA - changing axis scale upon worksheet change
Posted on 2013-02-04
Worksheet with combo boxes. User selects combos linked to a cell and the chart changes according to selections. Need the axis to also adjust to my named ranges. I would like this to be upon a worksheet_change vs manually calling the macro/code if possible.
I've tried many different ways of doing this and have nothing workable yet. I need this asap and have spent many many hours researching this from examples.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ch As ChartObject
Set ch = Worksheets(Summary).ChartO
With ch.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary)
.MinimumScale = ActiveSheet.Name("MinScale
.MaximumScale = ActiveSheet.Name("MaxScale
End With
With ch.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary)
.MinimumScale = Summary.Name("MinScale_GFW
.MaximumScale = Summary.Name("MaxScale_GFW
End With
End Sub
This did not work either:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("
End Sub

Nevermind. I figured it out.
I recorded a macro to see what Excel wrote for the code and came up with this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue)
.MinimumScale = Range("$Q$32")
.MaximumScale = Range("$r$32")
.MajorUnitIsAuto = True
.MajorUnit = Range("$S$32")
.MinorUnitIsAuto = Range("$T$32")
.MinorUnit = Range("$u$32")
End With
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).Select
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary)
.MinimumScale = Range("$Q$33")
.MaximumScale = Range("$r$33")
.MajorUnitIsAuto = True
.MajorUnit = Range("$S$33")
.MinorUnitIsAuto = Range("$T$33")
.MinorUnit = Range("$u$33")
End With
End Sub
It wasn't working with defined names, so I had to use ranges.
