Series object (Project)

Represents a collection of related data that makes a row or a column in a chart.

Remarks

A Series object is a member of the SeriesCollection collection, which includes all of the data series in the chart. The name of the series is often displayed in the chart legend.

Example

The following example prints the series names, X (horizontal) values, and Y (vertical) values for a collection of data series on a chart.

Sub TestChartSeries()
    Dim reportName As String
    Dim theReportIndex As Integer
    Dim theChart As Chart
    Dim seriesCollec As SeriesCollection
    Dim chartSeries As Series
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim j As Integer
        
    reportName = "Simple scalar chart"
    theReportIndex = -1
        
    If (ActiveProject.Reports.IsPresent(reportName)) Then
        ' Make the report active.
        theReportIndex = ActiveProject.Reports(reportName).Index
        ActiveProject.Reports(theReportIndex).Apply
        
        Set theChart = ActiveProject.Reports(theReportIndex).Shapes(1).Chart
        Set seriesCollec = theChart.SeriesCollection()
        
        For i = 1 To seriesCollec.Count
            Set chartSeries = seriesCollec(i)
        
            If (IsEmpty(chartSeries.Name)) Then
                Debug.Print "Series " & i & " name is an empty string."
            Else
                Debug.Print "Series " & i & ": " & chartSeries.Name
            End If
            
            For j = 1 To seriesCollec.Count
                Debug.Print vbTab & "X, Y values(" & j & "): " & chartSeries.XValues(j) _
                    & ", " & chartSeries.Values(j); ""
            Next j
        Next i
    End If
End Sub

The following sample output is from a chart such as the example in the Chart object documentation.

Series 1: Actual Work
    X, Y values(1): T1, 16
    X, Y values(2): T2 - new, 32
    X, Y values(3): T3, 7
Series 2: Remaining Work
    X, Y values(1): T1, 0
    X, Y values(2): T2 - new, 16
    X, Y values(3): T3, 17
Series 3: Work
    X, Y values(1): T1, 16
    X, Y values(2): T2 - new, 48
    X, Y values(3): T3, 24
