Suddnely it worked perfectly just out og nowhere, Just after I changed setting for
legend:

.HasLegend = True
.SetElement (msoElementLegendBottom)

I have no idea how. As you probably see I am absloute begginer with VBA.

Thank you for your time very much !

Regards, Ivan

Indeed it was. Thank for your input. Range was not properly addressed.

But now some unknown error appears:

Run-time error: -2147467259(8004005)
Automation error
Unspecified error

And it creates just the first chart and then breaks.

This error indicates a problem identifying the range with the settings. Did you apply the name “Settings” to the range containing the settings?

Dear Mr. Peltier,

I tried to replicate this particular example in the workbook but it always finishes with an error:

Runtime error “9″ – Subscript out of range.

I changed name of the cell B2 to RowsTall as it was written in the procedure. However when I try to run debugger it seems that it breaks at the line :

nRowsTall = vSettings(2, 1)

I have occasionally had issues in code changing the properties of borders of chart elements, typically of axes or gridlines. I often insert this before editing borders. Another workaround, which isn’t particularly reliable but works in a few more cases, is to select the chart element, then format the border.

I wish I could answer this question more definitively.
