Ungroup Method

Moves the specified series into a new layer.

expression.Ungroup(UseNewScaling)

*expression   * Required. An expression that returns a ChSeries object.

UseNewScaling   Optional Boolean. Set this argument to True to specify that the series uses a different scaling than the previous layer. The default value is False.

Remarks

When you move a series into a new layer, you can assign the series to an axis that is based on a different value scale.

Example

This example creates a combination chart based on literal data. The first data series is plotted as a line. The second data series is plotted as columns, and on a it's own value axis.

    Dim asSeriesNames(1)
    Dim asCategories(3)
    Dim aiSeries1(3)
    Dim alSeries2(3)
    Dim chConstants

    Dim serUnitSales
    Dim serDispInc
    Dim axIncomeAxis

    asSeriesNames(0) = "UnitSales"
    asSeriesNames(1) = "Disposable Income"

    asCategories(0) = "Item 1"
    asCategories(1) = "Item 2"
    asCategories(2) = "Item 3"
    asCategories(3) = "Item 4"

    aiSeries1(0) = 75
    aiSeries1(1) = 84
    aiSeries1(2) = 30
    aiSeries1(3) = 94

    alSeries2(0) = 14522
    alSeries2(1) = 17321
    alSeries2(2) = 9424

    Set chtNewChart = ChartSpace1.Charts.Add

    ' Specify that the chart is a column chart.
    chtNewChart.Type = chConstants.chChartTypeLineMarkers

    ' Bind the chart to the arrays.
    chtNewChart.SetData chConstants.chDimSeriesNames, chConstants.chDataLiteral, asSeriesNames
    chtNewChart.SetData chConstants.chDimCategories, chConstants.chDataLiteral, asCategories

    Set serUnitSales = chtNewChart.SeriesCollection(0)

    serUnitSales.SetData chConstants.chDimValues, chConstants.chDataLiteral, aiSeries1

    Set serDispInc = chtNewChart.SeriesCollection(1)

    serDispInc.SetData chConstants.chDimValues, chConstants.chDataLiteral, alSeries2

    ' Ungroup the series.
    serDispInc.Ungroup True

    ' Add a new value axis to the chart based on the values in the series.
    Set axIncomeAxis = chtNewChart.Axes.Add(serDispInc.Scalings(chConstants.chDimValues))

    ' Place the axis on the right side of the chart.
    axIncomeAxis.Position = chConstants.chAxisPositionRight

    ' Display the series as columns.
    serDispInc.Type = chConstants.chChartTypeColumnClustered

End Sub
