Hi Mandy,
how do u insert a pattern fill into a chart with the new excel 2007?

Try this as a workaround.

Select a range of cells
Format with a pattern of your choice
Copy
Select the chart series (or a single column)
Paste as Picture

Hi,

The UI to patterns has gone but a little VBA goes a long way ;)

No idea how long this will remain a work around.


With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Fill
.Patterned Pattern:=msoPatternLargeConfetti
.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 17
.BackColor.SchemeColor = 2
End With

Cheers
Andy
