Thank you in advance because I have been stuck for 2 hours on this
issue.
The process formats data into a Pivot table because of X/Y needs to be
read / formatted. Everything for the most part works correctly except
when I want to format the actual graph. The legend, font, title, etc
won't change and it appears to be the ActiveChart. It works for
everything else.
This leaves me a little confused, why I can't format the graph. Maybe
I need to set focus?
Again, thank you in advance.
