Jon,
It appears that there is a ~32,000 colorized pixel limit for the contour surface chart because the plot height produced automatically varies as I supply 5 columns of values with 15, 30, 60 rows that are interpolated to color the values in the box with my 75, 150, 300 values.
Am I understanding some subtle aspect? Or having an ID-10-T issue? john

Ben -

The documentation was rather slim (it’s post-2003 Office, after all), but I came up with this:

ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(i).LegendKey.Interior.ColorIndex = 13

Trying to update some code that worked in XL 2003. Specifically, would like to have ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 13 still work (deprecated in XL 2007, and crashes after a while). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello,

I solved it!! I thought I had the VBA tool pack installed, but I didn’t!! So I have done that now, and it does show up.

Thank you!
