Setting data in Writer chart from Basic

[Regina Henschel]

Hi Jan,

it might work for you as
oXCOEO = xChart.ExtendedControlOverEmbeddedObject
oXCOEO.update()

If you sent me a document including the macro and the chart, I can try it.

Or you try it with event, as described here

It is a typical question for a forum.

Kind regards
Regina
