    Macro to adjust graphs based on input

    Hi everyone,

    I'm having an issue with my macro. Here is my question.

    In excel say you want to make a graph and you have range say B9:B20 can you make that range variable on the values of another cell?

    So in Bx:By it would determing the range of the graph (x and y) based on cells H and I

    Something like this

    Range("B" & Range("H9") & ":B" & Range("I9") & ",D9" & Range("H9") & ":D" & Range("I9")), PlotBy:=xlColumns

    Thank you,

    George

    My code:

    Re: Macro to adjust graphs based on input

    Thank you for your help, the code works great but it doesn't select the whole range for graphing, it takes a range from say B9:B19 instead of B9:B20.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Also what if I want this repeated for different sets of data in the same worksheet (to make several graphs)? Can that be possible?

    Thank you greatly for your help.

    Here is what the part of the code looks like now...and it keeps going with more graphs: How do i make the code you gave me apply to this worksheet? Sorry for all the questions but I am fairly new at this.

    Thank you

    What happens is that the user selects the months to graph and the formula (Cells H and I) figures out what cell number that would be. Then it graphs in row B reference cell H to row B reference cell I and the same for the other coordinates...D(H) to D(I)

    Yes. The first thing it wants to do is open a text file on YOUR pc.

    You need to include at least a couple of charts worth of test data.
