Problem deleting a legendEntry

[Mister_joe]

Hello All,
Please, I am trying to delete a specific LegendEntry using ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(1).Delete
The problem? The command simply deletes the entire legend. What am I missing? I am using Office 2007.

Please, help in anyway you can. Thanks.

Help us helping you anyway you can by posting a sample workbook.

Here's the section of the code that is giving me problems:


ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select


ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers
ActiveChart.HasAxis(xlValue, xlPrimary) = True
ActiveChart.HasAxis(xlCategory, xlPrimary) = True


ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count).Activate
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = "Some texts"
.ChartTitle.Select
With Selection
.Orientation = xlHorizontal
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.IncludeInLayout = False
End With

Dim i As Integer
.HasLegend = True
.Legend.Left = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Left + 10
.Legend.Top = ActiveChart.ChartArea.Top + 50
.Legend.Select
With Selection
.Font.Name = "Verdana"
.Font.Size = 10
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(1).Delete
.Refresh
End With


Dim rng As Variant
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("XYZ").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count).Activate
With ActiveChart
For Each rng In ChartDataSource
.SeriesCollection.NewSeries 'this creates a series object and adds it to the SerriesCollection.
.SeriesCollection(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count).Name = rng.Name.Name
.SeriesCollection(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count).XValues = Range(rng.Cells(2, XcolIndex), rng.Cells(rng.Rows.Count, XcolIndex)) 'x-axis.
.SeriesCollection(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count).Values = Range(rng.Cells(2, YcolIndex), rng.Cells(rng.Rows.Count, YcolIndex)) 'y-axis

Randomize
red = Int(Rnd() * 255)
Randomize
blue = Int(Rnd() * 255)
Randomize
green = Int(Rnd() * 255)

.SeriesCollection(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count).Select
With Selection.Format.Line
.Style = msoLineSingle
.Weight = 4
.Visible = msoTrue
.Transparency = 0
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(red, green, blue)
.DashStyle = msoLineSolid
End With
Next 'rng


You probably would like to know why I want to delete the first LegendEntry. It is because the header row of my data is listed as the first legend entry. When I step through the code, the header row is not included in the legend, but when I run the code normally, the header row is included as the first entry in the legend. I am unable to understand why this is happening. So, my work around was to try and delete the unwanted entry.

You must have another dictionary than I have; see the lemma 'workbook'.

Please, explain the information you require from me a little more. The workbook has more than two thousand lines of codes and it contains controlled data that I cannot attach here. Except for the legend entry, the macro is working according to the original intention. I will try to duplicate the problem with another set of data and post here.

Thanks all. I think I found a work around to my challenge. The command ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(1).LegendKey.Delete resolved it.
