Remarks

Each chart sheet is represented by a Chart object. This does not include charts embedded on worksheets or dialog sheets. For information about embedded charts, see the Chart or ChartObject topics.

Example

Use the Charts property to return the Charts collection. The following example prints all chart sheets in the active workbook.

You can combine the Add method with the ChartWizard method to add a new chart that contains data from a worksheet. The following example adds a new line chart based on data in cells A1:A20 on the worksheet named Sheet1.

With Charts.Add .ChartWizard source:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A20"), _ Gallery:=xlLine, Title:="February Data" End With

Charts(1).SeriesCollection(1).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = rgbRed

The Sheets collection contains all the sheets in the workbook (both chart sheets and worksheets). Use Sheets(), where is the sheet name or number, to return a single sheet.charts collection Charts Collection Object
