I wish to create a DDELink with Excel, pass variables and automatically display a pie chart/bar chart in Excel.
Example :
Variable 1 =Males'
Variable 1 =Females'
Variable 2 =1000'
Variable 2 =1540'
I would pass the 2 variables to Excel showing the number of males against females graphically.
Any Suggestions ?
use DDEDATA to fill the range then use DDECOMMAND to launch a macro to plot the graph and copy it into the clipboard then paste elsewhere.
We've got an app which uses this technique to produce a 30 page report in WinWord combining Excel Pies, tables and graphs in the language of the user.
Quite a bit of work (50 days in total) but the results look great.
