I'm trying to automate plotting of a box and whiskers chart. The code below compiles and runs but the error bars do not appear in the chart.
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim datarange As Range
Dim chtChart As Chart
Dim objChrt As ChartObject
Set ws = Sheets("sheet1")
Set datarange = ws.Range("F8:G10")
Set chtChart = Charts.add
With chtChart
chtChart.ChartType = xlColumnStacked
chtChart.SetSourceData Source:=datarange, PlotBy:=xlColumns
With .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary)
.CategoryNames = ws.Range("A2:A13")
.TickLabels.Font.Bold = True
End With
.SeriesCollection(1).Format.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
.SeriesCollection(2).Format.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
Dim Sec1 As Series
Set Sec1 = .SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.SeriesCollection(3).HasErrorBars = True
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBars.EndStyle = xlCap
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBars.Format.Line.Visible = msoTrue
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBars.Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBars.Format.Line.Transparency = 0
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBars.Format.Line.Weight = 1.5
.SeriesCollection(3).ErrorBar Direction:=xlX, Include:=xlErrorBarIncludeBoth, Type:=xlErrorBarTypeCustom, Amount:="=CHART!F12:G12", MinusValues:="=CHART!F12:G12"
Solved.
type variant, data values required to plot whiskers IMPORTANT: this overwrites the series collection values (seriescollection(3) in this case) values can be replaced after plotting whiskers
