XL98: Error Setting AxisGroup Property of Series Class (182941)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q182941 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if you run a Visual Basic for
Applications macro that formats a chart, you may receive the following
error message:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the AxisGroup property of the Series class
Note that the same macro works correctly in earlier versions of Microsoft
Excel.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
Note that it does not matter that the series you are moving is already
assigned to the secondary y axis.
WORKAROUNDMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
To prevent this problem from occurring, modify the Visual Basic code so
that it resembles the following:
' Disable macro error messages.
On Error Resume Next
' Move the 3rd series to the secondary y axis.
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).AxisGroup = 2
' Resume normal error handling.
On Error GoTo 0
NOTE: The "On Error" lines prevent the error from occurring.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
In earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, it is possible for all of the
series in a chart to be assigned to the secondary y axis. In Microsoft
Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, this is not possible. If you attempt to move
the last series that uses the primary y axis to the secondary y axis, you
receive an error message and the macro halts.
Because of a problem in the code that determines whether a series may be
moved to the secondary y axis, you receive an error message even if the
series in question is already assigned to the secondary y axis.
