How to set absolute position of a chart in Excel?

For example, you have created a chart and placed it at random in the worksheet as below screenshot shown. Now I will introduce a VBA to quickly move the chart to a precise and absolute position easily.

1. Select the chart you will set absolution position for, and press Alt + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Click Insert > Module, and paste below VBA into the new module window.

VBA: Set absolution position of a chart in Excel

Sub Test()
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xChart As ChartObject
Set xRg = Range("D1:J13")
Set xChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1)
With xChart
.Top = xRg(1).Top
.Left = xRg(1).Left
.Width = xRg.Width
.Height = xRg.Height
End With
End Sub

Note: In above code, Set xRg = Range("D1:J13") means move and place the chart into Range D1:J13. You can change the range as you need.

3. Press F5 key or click the Run button to run this VBA.

Now you will see the chart is moved to the precise position as you specified in the VBA. See screenshot:

If you have Kutools for Excel installed, you can apply its amazing chart tool – Set Absolute Position of Chart to move and resize a chart to a specified range in Excel.

1. Select the chart that you will set to an absolute position, and click Kutools > Charts > Chart Tools > Set Absolute Position of Chart.

2. In the popping out dialog, specify the position that you will move the chart to, and click the Ok button.

Now the selected chart is moved to the specified position and resized to the specified range simultaneously. See screenshot:
