help with VB in excel

Hi everybody. I was wondering if somebody out there could tell me what is
wrong with this code? I'm trying to plot a chart in excel using VB. For
this example, the value of the Index variable is 150, but it could be
anything because it is calculated earlier in the code. I can't see anything
wrong with the code myself, but it seems not to like it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Kevin

Index = 150

Charts.Add
ActiveChart.Cha rtType = xlXYScatterSmoo th
ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection.N ewSeries

ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).XValues = Range(Cells(8, 1), Cells(Index
+ 8, 1))
ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).Values = Range(Cells(8, 2).Value,
Cells(Index + 8, 2))

Actually, here is an update to the code, I made a change. Any help is
appreciated.

Kevin
Index = 150

ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).XValues = Range(Cells(8, 1), Cells(Index +
8, 1))
ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).Values = Range(Cells(8, 2), Cells(Index + 8,
2))

You are losing track of the worksheet, so the range and cell functions
are getting lost - an active chart doesn't have cells, etc.

Grabbing the correct worksheet before making the chart will fix the
problem:

Dim WS As Worksheet

Index = 150

Set WS = Worksheets("She et1")

Charts.Add
ActiveChart.Cha rtType = xlXYScatterSmoo th
ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection.N ewSeries

ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).XValues = _
WS.Range(WS.Cel ls(8, 1), WS.Cells(Index + 8, 1))
ActiveChart.Ser iesCollection(1 ).Values = _
WS.Range(WS.Cel ls(8, 2), WS.Cells(Index + 8, 2))
