Parameters

  • Source
    Type: System.Object

    The range that contains the source data for the new chart. If this argument is omitted, Microsoft Office Excel edits the active chart sheet or the selected chart on the active worksheet.

  • Format
    Type: System.Object

    The option number for the built-in autoformats. Can be a number from 1 through 10, depending on the gallery type. If this argument is omitted, Microsoft Office Excel chooses a default value based on the gallery type and data source.

  • CategoryLabels
    Type: System.Object

    An integer specifying the number of rows or columns within the source range that contain category labels. Legal values are from 0 (zero) through one less than the maximum number of the corresponding categories or series.

  • SeriesLabels
    Type: System.Object

    The number of rows or columns within the source range that contain series labels. Legal values are from 0 (zero) through one less than the maximum number of the corresponding categories or series.

  • CategoryTitle
    Type: System.Object

    The category axis title text.

  • ExtraTitle
    Type: System.Object

    The series axis title for 3-D charts or the second value axis title for 2-D charts.

Remarks

You can use this method to quickly format a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheet without setting all the individual properties. This method is non-interactive, and it changes only the specified properties.

If Source is omitted and either the selection is not an embedded chart on the active worksheet or the active sheet is not an existing chart, this method fails and an error occurs.

Optional Parameters

Examples

The following code example uses the ChartWizard method to set the data source and the chart type of the current Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheet.

Private Sub ModifyChartSheet()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55

    Me.ChartWizard(Source:=Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "B5"), _
        Gallery:=Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn, _
        HasLegend:=False, Title:="Revised chart")
End Sub
private void ModifyChartSheet()
{
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    this.ChartWizard(Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "B5"],
        Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn,false,
        "Revised chart");
}
