Here is a line code which works. ... ChartTypeVal=4 excel.Range("a1:b3").Select(); excelchart = workbook.Charts.Add(); excelchart.Type = ChartTypeVal; ... I check Excel documentation: ChartTypeVal=4 is to draw a graph with line and the name for this graph type is called xlLine. But when I replace number 4 with name "xlLine" the script doesn't work. Which syntax is used so that Ruby knows xlLine instead of number 4? Thank you in advance, Li -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
