Modifying a Chart Object Name

[pauloreiss]

Im making a MACRO to alter montly many different files with the same paddern. In these files there are many sheets with a few Charts. Those charts are two for INCOME and two for PROFIT in each sheet. My problem is that the name of the Charts in the macro appear with the number that Excel applyed to it and i would like to make standar names for each Chart. This way there would be only 4 chart names for each sheet, instead of 16 diferent chart names for the 4 sheets in the file im working.
This is how the part of the macro looks:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Gráfico 8").Activate
...

I would like to make "Gráfico 8" to be "Profit1"...

Anyone knows how to do this!???
Thanks...

There are plenty of hits for "Change chart name" in Google

Try this: (from Debra Dalgleish)
"Hold the Ctrl key, and click on the chart to select it
Click in the Name Box, to the left of the formula bar
Type a new name for the chart
Press the Enter key"

Thanks... I would never look that little box... It worked!

....within the visual basic editor (where you are looking at the code for your
macro) you should be able to just change the name. Highlight "Grafico1" and
type "profit1" in its place.
