With Worksheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects(1).Chart

End With

This example creates a new series in embedded chart one on Sheet1. The data source for the new series is the range B1:B10 on Sheet1.

Worksheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects(1).Activate 
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Add _ 
 source:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B10")

This example clears the formatting of embedded chart one on Sheet1.
