Creating Pivot table and chart In Excel COM

[SmokeyTBear]

I am trying to create a pivot table, and then a pivot chart from ahk for embedding into an email. I am a total noob, so please forgive my code quality. I am having trouble getting my pivot table set up right, and cannot get a chart to appear for the life of me. I have included references to what posts I have been working from, as well as desired end result at the bottom of this post.

My data is two columns, with (could make it without) headers of Time, and Warning I want to be able to create a chart that shows the amount, and type of warning over time, from there either get a handle on the object and place it into an outlook email, or even just a copy paste would work for me. Please advise how to get this done, I think I am so close.

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

that's when an example is too complicated to get it within a few minutes or if it's unclear what the problem/the question is.

Maybe this'll help. (You can remove the timer related stuff, probably - I'm using it because I've started it from a C# script. Shouldn't hurt anything, though.)

Code: Select all

myLabel:
