Determining if ChartObject is in PrintArea on Worksheet

[Barb Reinhardt]

I'm trying to determine if a ChartObject is within the Print_Area on a given
worksheet and have this code. I've noted in the code where execution ends.
I've done a "debug.print" and see that the topleftcell is in the Print_area,
but I'm not sure why it's quitting on me. Does anyone have any ideas?


Dim ChtObj As Excel.ChartObject
Dim myRange As Range

myChartInRange = False


On Error Resume Next
Set myRange = myWS.Range("Print_Area")
On Error GoTo 0
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

For Each ChtObj In myWS.ChartObjects
myChartInRange = False
'Execution in this sub ends on the line below
If Not Intersect(ChtObj.TopLeftCell, myRange) Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print "Top Left in Range", myWS.Name, ChtObj.Name
Set myChtObj = ChtObj
myChartInRange = True
Exit For
End If
Next ChtObj
Debug.Print

Barb -

I ran this fine in 2003 (SP3) and 2007 (SP1). I don't think I changed
anything meaningful.

I used this sub to test the function in 2003 and 2007. In all cases I got
True or False in the debug window and the beep at the end of the function. I
don't know why you had problems, unless it's related to some fixes made in
SP1.

Sub test()
Debug.Print myChartInRange
End Sub

This is the function. I don't think I changed anything meaningful from what
you posted.

Function myChartInRange()
Dim myWS As Worksheet
Dim ChtObj As Excel.ChartObject
Dim myChtObj As Excel.ChartObject
Dim myRange As Range

myChartInRange = False
Set myWS = ActiveSheet

On Error Resume Next
Set myRange = myWS.Range("Print_Area")
On Error GoTo 0
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Function

For Each ChtObj In myWS.ChartObjects
myChartInRange = False
'Execution in this sub ends on the line below
If Not Intersect(ChtObj.TopLeftCell, myRange) Is Nothing Then

Debug.Print "Top Left in Range", myWS.Name, ChtObj.Name
Set myChtObj = ChtObj
myChartInRange = True
Exit For

End If
Next ChtObj
Beep
End Function

I'm testing it in 2003 right now and it gacks. I'll try your code and see if
it works.

Thanks,

Hi,

What exactly do you want the function to do?

Currently it checks all the chartobjects on a sheet to see if the
topleftcell they cover is within the print area.
As soon as a chart meets that requirement the loop terminates. This could
lead to incorrect results.

Cheers
Andy

My problem was that I was doing this in PowerPOint and didn't use the
XLApp.Intersect function.

Thanks for your help.

Based on the way this is used, it's not a problem. I was trying to use an
Excel function within powerpoint and it kept kicking me out until I figured
that out.
Thanks,
