Pivot Chart - crtx within display file?

Hello,

Currently, this is what is happening. There is a network folder which has two files - a xlsm file that has several pivots and pivot charts in it. There is also a crtx template file in the same location,which
stores the chart template style. Now when users refresh the charts in the xlsm files, it gets a weird format and extra text in the chart.

Thats why when they press a button - then the charts in the existing xlsm file, get a stored template applied to them, to maintain the chart look as desired.

Problem - right now the code you see is below:

set wks = activesheet
templateLoc = "network\kkk\myChartTemplate.crtx"

 wks.ChartObjects("myDisplayChart").Activate
        ActiveChart.ApplyChartTemplate (templateLoc)

Open in new window

is there is any way that I could put the template or embed the template directly inside the xlsm file itself (that has all the pivots and charts?)

-Instead of storing the crtx file separately and then applying template from it into the xlsm file?

thank you

Thank you Gowflow,

got it. I have uploaded the test file. It would not let me upload a crtx template file. you can easily create one I guess, from the existing one there.

I don't understand. You accepted my comment as a solution and you posted the file afterward. Did you find the solution or still need help which I presume you do.

In case you still need help you need to tell me how create the crtx template from the file you posted as total newbie in this area.
