The chart type.

Format

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

For information on optional parameters, see Optional Parameters in Office Solutions.

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, missing,
        missing, missing, missing, false,
        "Revised chart", missing, missing, missing);
}
