Can xy graph origin be control from a cell?

[Jo]

Hi everyone,

Say you have xy graph with (0,0) as its origin. Of course you can make
the origin has any non-zero value by clicking the x axis and chaging
the value from 0 to, say, 5. Same thing to y axis by clicking on it.

If I have to make the origin value change frequently, is there a way
to do so from a cell?

Thanks,
Jo

Use the change event to detect the change in the cell and then do the VBA
equivalent to what you describe doing manually in your post.

and numerous posts in this newsgroup.

to get code on changing the axis, turn on the macro recorder while you do it
manually. Turn off the macro recorder and study the code recorded.

Tom,

Yes, but I guess I am missing something here. Say the origin was (0,0)
and want to change it to (2,5). When I click on either x or y axis, I
need to type that value which is 2 or 5.

So, if I am using macro, how would the macro record those new origin
values?

Thanks,
Mike

you said:

so you would write the event code to trap the entry you make in a specific
cell or specific cells (1 for x, 1 for y) and use the values placed there to
update the graph using the code you recorded.
