    <p><strong>EDITED</strong></p> <p>If you guys have a link that might help with this problem I'd really like to read it, because so far I haven't seen anything very useful.</p> <p>In access I'm trying to export arbitrary data to excel, create multiple charts (right now just working on a pie chart), format these charts and then send them to a blank (Chart) sheet. So far I've exported the data and am able to create the charts, I just have no idea how to format them.</p> <p>The formatting I want to do is to get rid of the legend, put data labels with the name, value, and percentage, and move it to a "Chart" sheet.</p> <p><strong>Edit I am now able to get rid of the legend as well as insert the data labels with name, value and percentage. I am still stuck on moving the Chart object to a new sheet, code at bottom.</strong></p> <p>I've also tried to record a macro in excel, edit it slightly and then move it over to access but I keep erroring out, usually with an error similar to "This object doesn't have that method". Below I'll include a test table that I might get and how I create the pie chart.</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>Function Excel_Export_Two_Column() Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset Dim WBO As Object, WSO As Object, WSO2 As Object, XLO As Object, oChart As Object Dim x As Long, y As Long, z As Integer, strTab As String, strcompany As String Dim endTable As Long Dim tempName As String, tempNum1 As Long, tempNum2 As Long, totalEnd As Long z = 1 Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("QRY2Col") Set XLO = CreateObject("Excel.Application") XLO.Application.Workbooks.Add Set WBO = XLO.Application.ActiveWorkbook Set WSO = WBO.Worksheets(1) Set WSO2 = WBO.Worksheets(2) WSO.Name = Left("export", 31) For y = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1 WSO.Cells(1, 1) = "Num" WSO.Cells(1, y + 2) = rs(y).Name Next y x = 1 Do While Not rs.EOF() x = x + 1 WSO.Cells(x, 1) = x - 1 For y = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1 WSO.Cells(x, y + 2) = Trim(rs(y)) Next y rs.MoveNext DoEvents Loop WSO.Cells.Rows(1).AutoFilter WSO.Application.Cells.Select WSO.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit x = 1 Do While WSO.Cells(x, 1) &lt;&gt; "" x = x + 1 Loop endTable = x - 1 WSO2.Cells(1, 1) = "Name" WSO2.Cells(1, 2) = "Num" totalEnd = 2 For x = 2 To endTable If (WSO.Cells(x, 2) &lt;&gt; "") Then tempName = WSO.Cells(x, 2) tempNum1 = WSO.Cells(x, 3) For y = 2 To totalEnd If (WSO2.Cells(y, 1) = tempName) Then tempNum2 = WSO2.Cells(y, 2) WSO2.Cells(y, 2) = tempNum1 + tempNum2 Exit For ElseIf (y = totalEnd) Then WSO2.Cells(y, 1) = tempName WSO2.Cells(y, 2) = tempNum1 totalEnd = totalEnd + 1 End If Next y End If Next x Set oChart = WSO2.ChartObjects.Add(500, 100, 500, 300).Chart oChart.SetSourceData Source:=WSO2.Range("A1").Resize(totalEnd - 1, 2) oChart.ChartType = 5 strcompany = "Export" If Dir(CurrentProject.Path &amp; "\COLA_AR_" &amp; Format(Date, "yyyymm") &amp; "_XXX_" &amp; strcompany &amp; ".xlsx") &lt;&gt; "" Then Kill CurrentProject.Path &amp; "\COLA_AR_" &amp; Format(Date, "yyyymm") &amp; "_XXX_" &amp; strcompany &amp; ".xlsx" End If Call WBO.SaveAs(CurrentProject.Path &amp; "\COLA_AR_" &amp; Format(Date, "yyyymm") &amp; "_test_2_Col.xlsx") WBO.Close savechanges:=True Set WBO = Nothing XLO.Application.Quit Set XLO = Nothing rs.Close db.Close End Function </code></pre> <p>Table: Note that this table is in a Query (named "QRY2Col") in Access</p> <pre><code>Field1 Field2 CTOD 64646515 BFTBC2 6656532 WTOW 451512355 DT3 684321818 STC2 652553548 BFTBC2 12 DT3 84954987 ATCR 99999999 CTOD 64185435 BFTBC2 321569846 STC2 6543518 STC2 3518684 ATCR 35481354 </code></pre> <p><strong>Code for data labels</strong></p> <pre><code>Set oChart = WSO2.ChartObjects.Add(500, 100, 500, 300).Chart oChart.SetSourceData Source:=WSO2.Range("A1").Resize(totalEnd - 1, 2) ' Number corresponds to a pie chart oChart.ChartType = 5 ' Adds data Labels oChart.SeriesCollection(1).HasDataLabels = True ' Format chart oChart.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels.ShowCategoryName = True oChart.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels.ShowPercentage = True oChart.SeriesCollection(1).HasLeaderLines = True oChart.Legend.Delete </code></pre> <p><strong>Attempted code to move chart</strong></p> <p>Below is an example of what I recorded (edited by adding "oChart") but this still doesn't work. The problem that gets highlighted is the "xlLocationAsNewSheet" and VBA says that the "Variable is not defined".</p> <pre><code>oChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsNewSheet </code></pre> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Jesse Smothermon</p>

    1. COIs there a reason that you're using late binding for all of this code? Using early binding, you'd at least get the intellisense as to what methods are available to you... i.e. `Dim WBO As Excel.Application` rather than `Dim WBO As Object` etc

    2. COIntellisense/Early Binding is for the developer. Late Binding is for the USERS, since it means your app is more robust when deployed. Most experienced Access developers switch back and forth between early and late binding, i.e., early for development, late for deployment.

    3. CO@David Sadly I've had to do my fair share of VBA programming, and I completely agree with you... but it rather seems that Jesse is still in the development phase here and that early binding is far more appropriate at this stage...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
