Hi everyone - I'm just starting to get my head around the wonderful world of pivot tables and pivot charts, and I'm stuck ...
I've managed to build a pivot chart exactly how I need it to look ... except that there are 140 different data fields showing, and I only want the top 10 values to be displayed. The top 10 would then update depending on the Page Fields selected.
My searching for an answer keeps returning results that say "click Field Settings, then Advanced, then Top 10 Autoshow" etc but the Advanced option doesn't show in the associated Pivot Table - I only have 'OK', 'Cancel', 'Hide', 'Number' & 'Options'.
So is it possible to use Top 10 Autoshow in this case? And how would I go about it?
This is what the pivot chart looks like at the moment: ....
My boss wants me to design a dynamic, updatable chart in Excel 2003. I initially made a Pivot Chart based on a Pivot Table which worked perfectly, but it doesn't look professional enough when printed (or viewed) and she wants me to approach it a different way.
So, I created a graph based on the data in a Pivot Table, and used dynamic ranges as the source for the graph series so that the chart updates when the criteria fields are changed for the Pivot Table. I then added two combo boxes (ie data validation lists) to the Chart sheet, and wrote VBA code so that whenever the combo box values are changed, the Criteria fields for the Pivot Table on the 2nd sheet are updated accordingly, and this in turn causes the graph to be updated as well.
This solution also worked perfectly, but now I've been told to create the graph without macros.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The requirements/details are as follows:
1. The Pivot Table is on sheet "PIVOT", and the graph is on sheet "GRAPH" 2. The Pivot Table has two criteria - School Name and Year Level 3. On sheet "GRAPH" there are two data-validated fields, School and Year, which only allow the selection of valid Schools and Year Levels
Is there any way to make the Pivot Table update when values are changed in the fields on the CHART sheet so that the chart also updates, but without using code nor a Pivot Chart?
1) i have office 2003 on a laptop. within powerpoint, i can create a 'microsoft excel chart 11' object. to create a link to the excel data source, do i have to go through the odbc sql setup? it works, but i don't want my powerpoint to be dependent on some excel file somewhere. what are the other options to insert/make a functional pivot chart in powerpoint with the data also within powerpoint? the data as sheet option does not result in the chart being a pivot, it's just a plain chart. it has to be a proper object, not an image paste or a chart that updates links with the excel file open.
2) i have office 2007 on my other laptop. i can not find any suitable object to choose from to make a pivot chart in powerpoint. what's the best way to go about in 2007 version?
3) am i going about this the wrong way with the objects? should i be after vba code?
How can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.
I have created quite a nice little macro that; drills through a lot of key figures, updates a pivot chart and copies the chart to powerpoint.
However it crashes on one particular data set every time with this error: Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the _Default property of the pivot item class
The code where the debugger stops is the last line below here.
I can manually change the pivot chart to the keyfigure it crashes on and thereby workaround the problem in the macro. Also it works for more than 50 other keyfigures without problems.
Please look at the sample workbook below. The chart you see below is fine BUT I would like in a pivot table chart, so I could select any days on the pivot chart. I have tried it to do it myself but for some reason the time is not displaying on the pivot chart correctly. Any help please ?
P.S. If not possible then can we add a scroll bar or something?
I have created a pivot table and chart. The pivot chart consists of three sets of data from the pivot table. Two of the data sets are lines and the third data set is displayed as columns. I made the third data set into columns by right clicking on the data series line and selecting chart type. I change the chart type for that data set to a column and it worked great. The only problem is that when data is refreshed in the associated pivot table, the entire chart turns into columns with completely different formatting. Does anyone know how I can maintain the graph with the two lines and one column data set when I refresh the data?
I am trying to create a pivot chart that show the average response times in hour but for some reason my charts looks not right. The axis show a max of 1 but the graph itself showed us up to 17. I think easier to explain if I attached the worksheet.
Is it possible to use the chart wizard for a Pivot Table yet maintain that chart in the same worksheet and not have it in another? Every time I click on the wizard a chart is created on a separate page.
I'm trying to Create a pivot chart from Data. I've attached a sample of the data I'm using. What happens when i try to create a chart is test 1-9 get assigned to Open which is fine. I can then drag Open to the position in the chart i want using the layout feather. I could then uncheck test 7 if i didn't want it or whatever. I want that same process to run horizontally for the numbers from 1-10 to go under the header WW so that i can unclick any WW that i don't want in the chart if you get my meaning. I included an example of what i'm talking about. Sheet 1 contains the raw data and Sheet 5 contains a small explanation.
I am trying to create a Pivot Chart. My data consist of staff whom had errors in their work done. The data has a time when the work was completed by the staff. I would like to generate a Pivot Chart that has a line chart that shows when the work was completed based on the time and can be sorted easily by team, date, staff ,shift and errors.I know the easiest way is by Pivot Chart. I am not sure how to accomplish this as I had tried with the Pivot Chart and it did not work.
I have daily data that has columns for day, day of week, week end, month, year. I am trying to create a pivot chart that displays the data as a line chart day by day and as a secondary axis column chart by week.
I am trying to format the date in my x-axis which is currently 'month-day-year' but I would llike it to be 'month-year' I know it is because my data that was used for the date is 'month-day-year' but since I am using power pivot I can not change the data. Is there a way I can change it to my desired format so that my pivot chart will only have the 'month-year' format in the x-axis?
i have a dynamic pivot chart. It works well, except the chart area size, it remains the same. Is there any way how the chart area can be automatically adjusted/resized (see the example attached)? Maybe with VBA?
I'm looking for a way to refresh my pivotchart and update my pivot table data every time that a certain macro runs. I could just delete it and make a new one everytime but that runs in to the problem of defining a new sheet every time. Is there a simple way to do this. say I my pivot chart is on "Sheet 7" and it there is only one pivot chart in the workbook and my source sheet is on "Combined Data". and at the moment the data range is "A1:N435" and say next time I run my macro the data range will add 20 rows of data and the next 25.
I'm trying to do something that I thought would be very simple for excel to do. All I want to do is show the average score of the data selected by the selectors in the chart. For instance, in the attached file, I have the following selection (AMER, North America, Canada & USA, Purple) and from this data selection I have 4 columns of data. I would like the chart to show somewhere on the chart the average of the total revenue (both columns) and the average of the GOP. Is there not a way of showing on the chart any data metrics?
Have an auto-calculator sheet on..mean formulas are input in rows (to calculate yield from no. inspected & no. found defective)....am running a pivot chart based on it to calculate no. of defectives by product and date...
The issue is had selected the entire worksheet for the pivot (including the rows with no data input as of yet but will be inputed in the future)...the problem is the pivot data gets all messed up because of the blank inputs...as soon as i select only the area with data input it works fine.....as of now have put in a generic format so that it reads it...but is there a way where i can leave it blank and still the pivot will refresh and calculate the data when put in????
current format is date-week-no. inspected-no. defective-yield...have input 1 jan 2001 as default date...and 0 and 0 as default no. inspected and no. defective....do not want to keep on doing this...
I have attached a portion of my Pivot Chart in Excel 2003 and have been trying to recreate this in 2007 with some difficulty. I am particularly interested in displaying the field list headings (specifically 'Count of Hit or Miss') in the pivot chart in 2007 but cannot make it work.
I have an issue with pivot charts that I can't figure out and I can't find anyone with the same problems either. I have several big reports that use data from 2005 onwards that need to be represented on graphs separated by the city the data belongs to and different ranges of the results. This data is being sourced from inside each workbook on another tab and turned into a series of pivot tables (for each city) which provides the source for the charts. I did it like this because if I use pivot graphs I don't have to go through and individually change the data source range in the charts every time - because there are so many.
My problem is that when I refresh the pivot tables (to bring in the new data) the pivot charts 'chart type' resets. They should be represented in a Line - Column on 2 Axes chart and I have set this as the defult type but after refreshing it reverts to a basic column graph and I have to go through and change them all back manually. I made a macro that acts on a currently selected chart to change the format to make this process a bit faster:
I have 2 columns of dates on which 2 separate events occur, e.g columns 1 is dates of receiving incoming calls (and there can be multiple incoming calls , so there are multiple rows with same date) and the other column is dates of outgoing calls (same deal of having multiple rows with same date, each row = 1 outgoing call). I want to plot both as line graphs and find out where they intersect , each one peaks and tapers.
I made a chart to show performance above and below average for sales teams.
When team is selected with no salesperson, value should be 0.
Employee selected and will show there week by week trends above or below. Seemed like a good idea.But the zeros (team level) are being displayed as plus or minus bars which isn't right and the labels show "0".
I find the pivot table is actually showing strange values if you click in the cell even though it displays a 0.Notations positive or negative like 3.80647894157197E-16.
The underlying data is an average formula and selecting invidual criteria, I show there are no anomalies.
Basically the two instances shown are the same, one is a pivot table, the other is copy pasted values off the pivot.
I need to prepare a chart for this data such that the years are show on X axis and the "frequency intervals" and the Count are shown on Y axis ( Im assuming one would have to be one on primary and one on secondary).
What this data is conveying is that e.g. in year 2002 there were 16 customers who bought between 0-799 quantity of a given item, in 2003, 48 customers bought a quantity between 0-799 and so on and so forth.
I have a data set for a call centre that displays each staff member's daily call numbers across two different call types (Call Type 1, Call Type 2) - staff only work on one particular call type each day. I would like to create two pivot charts, one with daily/weekly/monthly averages for Call Type 1, and one for Call Type 2.
On the Call Type 1 pivot chart, is there any way to exclude staff members who only work on Call Type 2 by ignoring zero values and not displaying their name on the horizontal axis? Currently, if a staff member was working on Call Type 2, they will still display in the Call Type 1 chart as a gap. I have read in other forums that you can set a minimum value on standard Excel charts, but I can't see how to do this on a Pivot Chart.
