[ExcelVBA] Bubblegraph series of different colours - solution

 

Hi all

 

Had to urgently produce a bubblechart for someone last night, and Excel’s default option is to clump everything together as one range, and the end result is one colour. Entering the series one by one is very tedious, a perfect opportunity for automation.

 

Programmed the below after a short recording, and it worked like a charm. Each bubble had a different colour.

 

Regards, Paul V

Sub Macro1()

' Macro1 Macro

'

Dim i As Integer

'

   

    For i = 2 To 49

   

    ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select

    Application.CutCopyMode = False

    With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries

        .Name = Range("B" & i)

        .XValues = Range("C" & i).Value

        .Values = Range("D" & i).Value

        .BubbleSizes = Range("E" & i).Value

    End With

    Next i

End Sub
