I am getting problems with adding charts in Excel 2010 using activeX

Hi, I'm using activex to access Excel 2010 through Matlab and I need to add several charts to each worksheet. I created a function called xlsgraphchart to do exactly this for me, however it gives me errors whenever I add a chart at a number greater than a certain row. This code also plots the trendlines and extracts the values from the trendlines and returns the slope. The problem lies when I use,
XLChartObject = XLActive.ChartObjects.Add(Left,Top,Width,Height);
in the following code. Anytime the 'Top' variable is greater than say 300 or so, it throws me an error.
function [LinSlope PolySlope LinSlope_Str PolySlope_Str] = xlsgraphchart(Excel,XseriesRange,YseriesRange,X_Axis_Title,Y_Axis_Title,Left,Top,Width,Height,PageIdx)
%% The Excel variable in the function argument is an application, e.g. Excel = actxserver('excel.application');
ExcelWs = Excel.Workbooks;
XLSheet = Excel.ActiveWorkBook.Sheets;
GetXLSheet = get(XLSheet, 'Item', PageIdx);
invoke(GetXLSheet,'Activate');
XLActive = Excel.ActiveSheet;
Excel.Visible = 0;
XLChartObject = XLActive.ChartObjects.Add(Left,Top,Width,Height);
XLChart = XLChartObject.Chart;
XLChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries;
XLChart.SeriesCollection(1).Value = XLActive.Range(YseriesRange);
XLChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValue = XLActive.Range(XseriesRange);
XLChartObject.Chart.ChartType = 1; % view the chart before moving on
XLChartObject.Chart.ChartType = 65;
XLChartObject.Chart.HasTitle = true;
XLChartObject.Chart.ChartTitle.Text = [X_Axis_Title ' Vs. ' Y_Axis_Title]; % view it again
%Set X-axis Title
ChartAxes = invoke(XLChartObject.Chart,'Axes',1);
set(ChartAxes,'HasTitle',1);
set(ChartAxes.AxisTitle,'Caption',X_Axis_Title);
%Set Y-axis Title
ChartAxes = invoke(XLChartObject.Chart,'Axes',2);
