    Plotting multiple series in one chart using macro

    Hi everyone

    I have 3 different series with different x and y values. I wonder if there is a macro for Excel 2007 to add multiple series to one plot automatically instead of adding the series manually.

    \1

    Obviously, the three series name should be:

    1- apple
    2- orange
    3- banana

    For understanding the problem more, please see the attached Excel file.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Thank you so much .... it's working perfectly !!!

    How do I make the graph in a new sheet instead of the same sheet? Is there a command to rename the new sheet with a certain cell?

    Thanks

    The chart has a location property if you want to move between chartsheet and object on sheet.

    I modified the code a little bit such that I have a fixed range for the X values like this picture

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4223477/Personal/Series2.jpg

    This is my code ... there is a problem in defining the X values. I tried to add ActiveSheet before the .XValues but it didn't work

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here

    Adding the activesheet will not help as the chart is the active sheet.
    You need to set a reference before you add the chart
