    Perform Action Without Switching To Sheet

    Guys, I need to perform an action that would collapse an outline on another sheet. BUT I need to run it WITHOUT switching to that sheet.
    The code I have for this now is the following:

    So it basically switches to that other sheet, collapses the outline and switches back. Is it possible to run this same thing without changing sheets?
    (the reason is that I have a Worksheet_Activate on my data sheet)

    Thanks so much for the answer! However, the thing is that I need to run my macro as Chart_Activate, meaning it MUST be run when users switches to that sheet. Or am I missing something here?

    As I said before on Data Sheet I already have a Worksheet_Activate events that expands the outline when you switch to a sheet. So on graph sheet I have a macro that collapses the data based on Data Sheet and they're conflicting. Again:
    1. on Data Sheet: I have a Worksheet_Activate macro that collapses the data when users switches to it
    2. on Graph Sheet: I need to have a Chart_Activate that would expand data based on Data Sheet, but it must be done WITHOUT switching to it because that triggers #1

    Is that clear enough?

    Do you want to update chart sheet after the process of "Activeate" Event?
    If so, add following line at the end of "Activate" code

    I'm not sure I'm following you :/ I mean, the only thing I need to do, is to run this:

    WITHOUT physically switching to "B. Graph Sheet" (because that triggers Workbook_Activate event on that "B. Graph Sheet" and I need to avoid it). If you need any more details, please do ask, I would be happy to provide more info.
