Excel Visual Basic Macro- Selecting data dynamically for a chart?
So, this question is probably fairly stupid, but I'm not too familiar with Excel VBA. Here's my generated Macro code which imports data from a text file and graphs it.
Sub getData()

'
'
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\data.txt", Destination:=Range("$D$3"))
.Name = "data_2"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = Tr开发者_高级运维ue
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Range("D3:H4").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("Sheet1!$D$3:$H$4")
End Sub
Essentially, because the data inputted from data.txt can be any length, this program does not work; it just goes from D3:H3. I'd like the chart to use the data from D3 to HX, where X is the end of the data row. How would I do this?
Thanks for helping an idiot!
Probably the following will work:
Sub getData()
With ...
....
End With
LastRowColH = Range("H65536").End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("Sheet1!$D$3:$H$" & CStr(LastRowColH))
End Sub
HTH!
For these thigs, I like to use a named range using =OFFSET().
