ChartObjects Method

Applies To

Chart object, Worksheet object.

Description

Returns an object that represents either a single embedded chart (a ChartObject object, Syntax 1) or a collection of all the embedded charts (a ChartObjects object, Syntax 2) on the sheet.

Syntax 1

expression.ChartObjects(Index)

Syntax 2

expression.ChartObjects

expression Required. An expression that returns an object in the Applies To list. If you specify a Chart object, it must be a chart sheet (it cannot be an embedded chart).

Index Optional Variant. The name or number of the chart. This argument can be an array, to specify more than one chart.

Remarks

This method isn't equivalent to the Charts property. This method returns embedded charts; the Charts property returns chart sheets. Use the Chart property to return the Chart object for an embedded chart.

With Worksheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects(1).Chart

Worksheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects(1).Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Add _
    source:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B10")

This example clears the formatting of embedded chart one on Sheet1.

Worksheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects(1).Chart.ChartArea.ClearFormats
