Abstract

In Mineral resource economics, a large amount of data stored in Excel files usually need to be calculated and transferred to various charts for analyzing. Excel VBA provides a fast and easy way to carry out the calculating works and to create various kinds of charts. This paper illustrates how to create a kind of chart with optional data source based on Excel VBA. Firstly, design the form window to select data source and the chart type. Secondly, activate the form and get it on focus. Thirdly, program the cmdOK button-click event to create the needed charts. And finally, create the charts with the selected data source. Every step of creating processes is illustrated in details and the Excel VBA codes are analyzed carefully. And the resulting charts are displayed to emphasize the effectiveness of Excel VBA. Then the conclusion is made that Excel VBA can create various charts with optional data source and chart types fast and provide great aid for researchers to do analyzing works.
