    Graph animation help

    I have a series of graphs (over 1000) that each one one a point in time. I want to basically make them each one frame (like a movie frame) and play them in series so I can see how it chnages over time. I have gotten pretty far into it by flipping the visibility of the charts on and off, however it stops animating if there are too many frames or charts that it is going through. I kind of fixed it by skipping many of the charts, which for the data I have now works ok. However I want to be able to use this for set of data that might have many more charts (maybe 20,000).

    There are two things I am having issues with, I want to have finer control over the amount of time they are visible and I want to program to be more robust.

    When the animation stops it seems like the code is still going but just not updating the spreadsheet because after a bit it will update my counter to the end and no errors will show and I will act like it just competed the code. Also it runs better with a large time increment (1 sec). But that makes it very choppy and long

    Here is the code I am using currently. Any ideas are much appreciated, even if its an alternate way of animating the charts.

    Re: Graph animation help

    I've never dealt with animating charts like this, but I would have to assume you are going to run into memory issues trying it this way (unless the charts are really simple). Excel has its own hard memory limit, regardless of available system memory (http://www.decisionmodels.com/memlimitsc.htm. If at all possible, I'd use one chart and use the macro to change the data source for the chart. That way, Excel is only holding one chart in memory, intead of 1000. Just food for thought.
