[SOLVED] Find the value of a point with VBA

[Francois]

Hi all,

Pardon my english ! I'm french.

I need to find the values of points of a serie (in charts of course)
with VBA. I can't refer to the value of the source cells because of the
very bad organization of the source sheets.

The only way I found is to add datalabels, pick the datalabels values,
convert them to numeric values.

Is there a shorter method to do that ? (XL2K)

I did not find the answer on the french speaking excel newsgroup though
it's very active and frendly.

Thanks

Hi,

This will get the values from series 1. Note that linked cells with
errors or #N/A will not return a value.

Sub X()
Dim lngIndex As Long

On Error Resume Next
With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1)
For lngIndex = 1 To .Points.Count
Debug.Print "Series 1 Point "; lngIndex, _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(.Values, lngIndex)
Next
End With

End Sub

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

Thanks a lot. I'll test it as soon as possible. I'm busy with a son of
mine just now !
