Remarks

A chart contains one or more chart groups, each chart group contains one or more Series objects, and each series contains one or more Points objects. For example, a single chart might contain both a line chart group, containing all the series plotted with the line chart format, and a bar chart group, containing all the series plotted with the bar chart format. The ChartGroup object is a member of the ChartGroups collection.

Use ChartGroups(Index), where index is the chart group index number, to return a single ChartGroup object.
