Jon,

I’m running into a problem with the macro. It definitely colors the cells based on a range, however it doesn’t use the exact colors that I’ve specified. For example, the range I’m using is AU19:AU26, and the cell in AU23 is labeled “Q4″ with RGB values of “55,96,146.” When I run the macro, it colors the “Q4″ items in the graph with RGB values of “55,55,255.”

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks,
Scott

KKJ -

I said “sounds like” a contracted project, and honestly it does. And it’s off-topic. I like to answer questions that relate to a post, or that are reasonable to answer, but I’m as time-limited as everyone else.

You need to figure out why your code puts each chart on its own sheet, and fix the code. Is each chart on its own worksheet (which has rows and columns) or on its own chart sheet (which is just the chart)?

Read my “Getting Answers” post, and get some answers.

Sir, I am not working on a contracted project….I am a student….I am doing some research work and want to analyse my data through chart.
I only asked you, how to draw multiple charts in one worksheet? Because in my case, for each row, one chart is drawn on new sheet.

KKJ - This is starting to sound like the statement of work for a contracted project, and it's also drifting pretty far from the topic of the article. I suggest you break your project into smaller pieces and use my suggestions for Getting Answers For Your Excel Questions.

One more thing, The width of each chart should be 4 or 5 times wider than the default chart because i have 374 categories on the x-axis.

Thank you so much Sir for your answer. I asked you, how to add category labels on the x-axis and your solution is working fantastically.
I need your help in one more problem.
In my last problem, I was plotting line chart on new worksheet each time. Each row had its corresponding line chart which was drawn on new worksheet. For example, if there were 10 rows, then 10 charts were plotted on each new worksheet.
Now I am trying to plot those charts on the same worksheet on which data(rows) are written. For Example, If there are 50 rows on sheet1, then after applying macro, 50 line charts should be drawn on the same worksheet (sheet1) but one after another sequentially. May be up and down in sequence.
I am Waiting for your kind reply,
Regards.
