Excel 2007 chart line width + axis labelling with VBA
Folks,
I'm creating a line-style chart with VBA in Excel 2007 and an
attempting to control just two things:
1) The line weight (2 points) and
2) The text direction of the X-axis labels (they're inclined, I want
them vertical).
Now I can indeed achieve both these settings through the UI (Format
Data Series/Line Style/Width and Format Axis/Alignment/Text direction/
Rotate through 270 degrees respectively) and naturally I thought that
the macro recorder would help but alas, all I got was
....
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 19").Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).Select
I've gone through the online help and tried this and that but without
success.
Any ideas? TIA.

Hi,
Try,
activechart.SeriesCollection(1).format.line.weight=2
activechart.Axes(xlcategory,xlPrimary).ticklabels.Orientation =
xlTickLabelOrientationVertical
Cheers

andy9699Sadly the macro recorder does not seem to record actions to charts and
shapes in Excel 2007. Maybe this will get you started, note generally no
need to select anything.
Sub test()
Dim cht As Chart
Dim sr As Series
Dim ax As Axis
Set cht = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Chart ' << change name to
suit
Set ax = cht.Axes(xlCategory)
ax.TickLabels.Orientation = xlTickLabelOrientationVertical
For Each sr In cht.SeriesCollection
sr.Format.Line.Weight = 2
Next
End Sub
If you fully declare your object variables, as above, you'll find the
Intellisense helps a lot in working things out.

Andy & Peter,
Thanks, I eventually hit upon TickLabels.Orientation (despite the
Byzantine labyrinth that is the Excel online help); instead of Format
I eventually came upon the Border property which seemed to work also:
With .SeriesCollection(1)
....
.Border.Weight =3D n
End With
It seems the online help (along the Object Browser and Macro Recorder)
bear the hallmarks of a project rushed out the door with quite a few
gaps and rough edges.
Anyway thanks again guys.
That's the method for formatting the border (ie line) weight in
Excel97-2003, and works in 2007 for compatibility. The .Weight property can
accept any one of four constants, 1, 2, -4138, or 4, also named as
xlHairline, xlThin, xlMedium & xlThick respectively.
Providing your value for 'n' is one of these constants your code will work.
But don't try say 5 (you can apply 3 but it will read back as -4138). For
2007 better to use the method Andy and I suggested.
Regards,
Peter T

Auto-format in Microsoft Excel.

Opening Excel Workbooks
I'm running into an issue where if I click on an Excel file through My Documents, it doesn't automatically bring it up. I get the toolbar but the actual spreadsheet doesn't appear on the screen. I have to click on the taskbar to get it to pop up. If I already have Excel active and I open a file through Excel, this doesn't happen. Any ideas?

Chart template?
I am working with a chart, created from a pivot table. The chart has the various [drop down] fields available for selecting different values for the chart to show. I have formatted the chart with specific settings, fonts, colors, etc., but everytime I use one of the dropdowns, the formatting goes back to the default. I have looked for a place to save as a template, or defaults without luck. Thanks for any help you can provide! Alan ...
Unexpected error message on closing an Excel file
Suddenly I am getting the following message when I try to close a workbook: "Your formula contains an invalid external reference to a worksheet. Verify that the path, workbook, and range name or cell reference are correct, and try again" The mysterious thing is that it does not happen consistently and that, after I click OK after the above message, I can still save the file. What might be the cause of this error message and can the "invalid reference" be tracked down using one of the utility add-ins such as J. Walkenbach's PUP? If it only happens when you close ...
help with simple maths in excel
I want to do a simple arithmatic excercise in excel for my grand daughter. It is stuff like 2+2 =4 Smart me has hit a problem at the first hurdle... I need to put 2 in one cell the + in another cell and then 2 in another = in another and then she puts the answer in the next one.

I will work on the answer like if she gets it correct or wrong how I will do that...a sound or som...
[b]Can I download Excel data to a MS Access database?[/b]
I've built an Excel 2002 form that I want our internal customers to access from our intranet, and use. Once completed, they will send it to us as an e-mail attachment. I'd like to be able to open it, and somehow download the data from the form into an MS Access 2002 database I've built (so that we don't have to rekey it into the database). Is this possible or even feasible? Any and all help is appreciated.

Excel DNS query
Hello, Is there a way for an Excel function to query a DNS server? Thanks. Soundy Not that I know of, but you can turn on the macro recorder, use 'get external data' and tailor the resulting code into a user function of your own. E.g. I've used this to create a button to get MS-Access data from a query that has the same name as the sheet (tab) name. It saves me a lot of copy-paste actions.

Embedded Chart Versus Chart
I've created a class module to capture a Shift+Click on a pivot chart, which then opens the data associated with that point. It works great on pivot charts on their own sheet, but when I use the same code on an embedded chart, it fails (error code -2147417848). Everything seems to work fine, it derives the same row and column values as needed, but the ShowDetail property is unavailable in the embedded charts.
