Chart.SetSourceData method (Project)

Syntax

expression.SetSourceData (Source, PlotBy)

expression A variable that represents a Chart object.

Source Required String The source data range.
PlotBy Optional Variant Specifies the way the data is plotted. Can be one of the following Office.XlRowCol constants: xlColumns or xlRows.

Remarks

A chart in a Project report can use a data range from Excel, if Project programmatically accesses an Excel worksheet. The charting object model in Project accepts range address strings for properties and methods that accept Range objects in Excel. A range address string in Project is expressed differently than a range in Excel. For example, the Source parameter can have a range value such as "='Sheet1'!$A$1:$D$5".
