    Set the stacked bar chart colors to automatic in Excel

    I have a macro that sets all the series on a stacked bar chart to have the same color, as well as a couple other bits like this:

    Sub RefreshLabels()
    
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotCache.Refresh Dim ch As Chart ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("ProjectChart").Activate Set ch = ActiveChart ch.SetElement (msoElementDataLabelCenter) Dim sc As SeriesCollection Set sc = ch.SeriesCollection Dim showLabel As Boolean If (Range("showLabels").Value = "Y") Then
    showLabel = True
    Else
    showLabel = False
    End If Dim sameColor As Boolean If (Range("sameColor").Value = "Y") Then
    sameColor = True
    Else
    sameColor = False
    End If Dim s As Series For Each s In sc If (sameColor = True) Then
    s.Border.Color = RGB(Range("rgb_r"), Range("rgb_g"), Range("rgb_b")) s.Interior.Color = RGB(Range("rgb_r"), Range("rgb_g"), Range("rgb_b"))
    Else
    'CODE HERE TO MAKE COLORS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED FROM PALLETTE
    End If Set dl = s.DataLabels dl.ShowSeriesName = showLabel dl.ShowValue = False Next
    End Sub
    However I need the option to change the series back to how the default stacked bar chart was, with the colors selected automatically to a palette of sorts.

    Let me know if you need any further information.

    In 2010 when you select your chart you will see a Chart Tools toolbar being highlighted, under the Design tab is Chart Styles with the 2nd style (I think) being the default one. (To get it done by macro, record one while selecting the style)
