Thanks for any assistance.

I could give you a long story on this, but the easiest way is to check out the Excel helpfile...or record a macro in excel (create chart from range of data) and see what Excel itself makes of it... regards, Lee-Z "Graeme" <gmocke (AT) netscape (DOT) net> wrote Quote: Hi I am using a Excel template with source data on Sheet1 and a linechart on Sheet2 How do I connect to the chart and then pass it the range/series of the data on sheet1.

I have tried all these excelChart.ConnectTo( ExcelWorkSheet1.ChartObjects(1) as _Chart) ; excelChart.ConnectTo( ExcelWorkSheet1.ChartObjects('Chart1') as _Chart) ; excelChart.ConnectTo( ExcelWorkSheet1.ChartObjects('Sheet1') as _Chart) ; but each time I get the error 'OLE error 800A03EC' I have the macro but that does not give the name of the chat.

ExcelWorkSheet.ChartObjects[1] ExcelWorkSheet.ChartObjects['Chart1'] Good luck, Lee-Z "Graeme" <gmocke (AT) netscape (DOT) net> wrote Quote: My first problem is connecting to the existing chart.

There might be a better way, but I was able to use: var lcid:integer; ChObj: ChartObject; ..... try lcid := GetUserDefaultLCID; //LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT ; ExcelApplication1.Connect; ExcelWorkbook1.ConnectTo(ExcelApplication1.Workbooks.Add(TOleEnum(xlWBATWorksheet), lcid)); ExcelWorksheet1.connectTo(ExcelWorkbook1.Worksheets[1] as ExcelWorksheet); ChObj:=(ExcelWorksheet1.ChartObjects(EmptyParam, lcid) as chartObjects).add(0,0,400,300); ExcelChart1.ConnectTo(ChObj.Chart as ExcelChart); except MessageDlg('error connecting to Excel chart',mterror,[mbok],0); raise; end; and then set the source data with something like: var cellRange1,cellRange2:OleVariant; ...... cellRange1:='a1'; //upper left cell cellRange2:='c10'; //lower right cell ...... ExcelChart1.SetSourceData({Source:=}ExcelWorksheet1.Range[cellrange1,cellRange2],{PlotBy :=row|col} 1); HTH, Patrick Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi OLE Automation All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
