I am relatively new to VBA. I am attempting to automate the generation of a graph containing Beta values using the following steps:
Step 1 - Generate a list of random numbers in Column A
Step 2 - Based on values in Column A, apply the Beta.Dist formula in Column B
Step 3 - Generate a scatterplot based on values in Column B, the scatterplot should look like a U-shaped distribution curve
I've tried using the following code but I am only seeing 1 value in the scatter plot (i.e., the scatterplot only has one dot).
Here's the code:
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
Sub Macro1()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i%, j%
Range("A1").Select
Selection = "0.99"
Selection.Offset(0, 1) = "Beta(" & Selection & ", " & Selection & ") Density"
For i = 1 To 301
Selection.Offset(i, 0).Formula = "= rand()"
Selection.Offset(i, 1).Formula = "=BETA.DIST(A2:A302,0.99,0.99,False)"
Next i
j = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(-1, xlXYScatter, 98 + j * 10, 16.5 + j * 10, 319, 296.5).Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2:B302")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(j + 1).Activate
ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementChartTitleAboveChart)
Selection.Caption = "="
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale = 1
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorGridlines.Delete
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = 1.1
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0.000#"
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MajorGridlines.Delete
Range("E1") = ""
Range("I1") = ""
Range("B1").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I'm hoping to get a U-shaped beta distribution curve in the scatter plot. Appreciate any form of help and thank you in advance!
