    Resolved [RESOLVED] Excel Chart Text Size

    Hey guys,

    I have written a bit of code to create a stackedbar100 chart on a new excel worksheet. It is created correctly, as are all labels/titles on screen. The only problem is that the text is a bit to small, and I wish for it to be bigger. Is there are simple way of increasing the text size of the entire chart? I have noted that in Excel when you right click on the chart itself, the font option there changes the font for all text within the chart. I tired recording a macro of the action but it does not provide any real information.

    Is there a simple call I am missing somewhere? Here is my code to create the chart.
    Code:
            Dim ChartSheet As excel.Worksheet
            ChartSheet = wb.Sheets.Add
            ChartSheet.Name = "Cluster Chart"
    
            Dim chartpage As excel.Chart
            Dim xlcharts As excel.ChartObjects
            Dim mychart As excel.ChartObject
            Dim chartrange As excel.Range = PivotSheet.UsedRange
    
            xlcharts = ChartSheet.ChartObjects
    
            mychart = xlcharts.Add(10, 80, 1000, 500)
    
            chartpage = mychart.Chart
            chartpage.SetSourceData(chartrange)
    
            chartpage.ChartType = excel.XlChartType.xlBarStacked100
            chartpage.Legend.Position = excel.XlLegendPosition.xlLegendPositionBottom
            chartpage.ApplyDataLabels(excel.XlDataLabelsType.xlDataLabelsShowValue)
    
    
    
            For i = 1 To chartpage.SeriesCollection.count
                Select Case i
                    Case 1
                        chartpage.SeriesCollection(i).interior.color = RGB(127, 255, 0)
                    Case 2
                        chartpage.SeriesCollection(i).interior.color = RGB(255, 255, 0)
                    Case 3
                        chartpage.SeriesCollection(i).interior.color = RGB(255, 165, 0)
                    Case 4
                        chartpage.SeriesCollection(i).interior.color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
                    Case Else
                        chartpage.SeriesCollection(i).interior.color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
                End Select
            Next

    Re: Excel Chart Text Size

    try like
    chartpage.chartarea.font.size = 16
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
