    "Run time error 438, Object doesn't support this property or method."

    Hi all,

    I have a file with macros which is warking all the time. However, when I create a copy of it and rename as needed, I'm getting "Run time error 438, Object doesn't support this property or method."
    But when I press "End" , it continues as ussually.

    When I run it again ( didn't closed the file) , it works without runtime error.

    When I close it, open it again and run the macro, again runtime error. And so on and so on.

    Do you know, why it happenes all time time? I closed all office files, nothing works. Is there a way to prevent it?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Your problems all stem from using the Selection object on a sheet that is not active.

    alter your code to reference the object model and not Selection

    dobracik,

    It seems the Trend Charts sheet needs to be the active sheet to do this. So in your ABI_Monthly macro, you need one extra line.
    After your comment 'Format the created chart, add this line:

    if you don't need the other sheet active then just remove the first line
