How to change series name in VBA

Question

I have a series of charts I am creating using VBA (code below).

I am having trouble changing the names of the series from series 1 and series 2 to Current State and

Answer 1

I believe the problem is with referencing - in the code you reference ActiveChart (I am guessing it does not exist), while you have created MAChart in the code above.

 Set Srs1 = MAChart.SeriesCollection(1) 
 Srs1.Name = "Current State"
 Set Srs2 = MAChart.SeriesCollection(2) 
 Srs2.Name = "Proposed Solution"

Answer 2

Try changing these lines ...

     Set Srs1 = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1) 
     Srs1.Name = "Current State"
     Set Srs2 = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2) 
     Srs2.Name = "Proposed Solution"

To ...

     .SeriesCollection(1).Name = "Current State"
     .SeriesCollection(2).Name = "Proposed Solution"

You are already using MAChart inside your With block so you should be able to access it's .SeriesCollection(x).Name properties in the same fashion as you have done for the other properties.
