Create several charts in one go using VBA

[andreashermle]

Dear Experts:

below code creates a simple bar chart from a list (defined as table1)
on sheet 2.
I got several lists on sheet 1, all of them defined as tables, that is
Table2, Table3, and Table4

Is it possible to loop thru all these lists (defined as tables) in
sheet 2 and have the same bar chart created from all these lists
(defined as table1, table2, table3 and table4) in one go using VBA.

Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas

All of the charts should have the same Diagramm Title ($B$6)

Sub AddBarChart()
Dim myChtObj As ChartObject

Set myChtObj = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add _
(Left:=100, Width:=400, Top:=75, Height:=200)

With myChtObj.Chart
.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("Table1")
.ChartType = xlBarClustered
.HasLegend = False
.Axes(xlCategory).MajorTickMark = xlNone
.SeriesCollection(1).ApplyDataLabels
.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels.Position =
xlLabelPositionInsideEnd
With .Axes(xlValue)
.MinimumScale = 0
.MaximumScale = 10
.Delete
.MajorGridlines.Delete
End With

End With

With myChtObj.Chart
.SetElement (msoElementChartTitleAboveChart)
.ChartTitle.Text = "=Sheet2!$B$6"
End With


With myChtObj.Chart.Parent
.Top = Range("A7").Top
.Left = Range("E7").Left
.Name = "Chart1"
End With

Pseudocode:

For i=1 to 10
Set myChtObj = ... (choose position so no overlapping charts)
myChtObj.Chart.SetSourceData Source:= (appropriate i'th range)
Next
