Jan 15, 2007I have a chart graphing different series, which includes a legend to label each series. The labels are linked to particular cells in the worksheet.
Most of the chart has Arial font formatting, but I need to change the formatting of a few characters in the legend:
I know that i can change the formatting of the whole legend, and even different entries in the legend. Is it possible to change the font of just a couple of characters in one legend entry?

May 4, 2007I have charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use chartobjects(i).plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that.
Unfortunately when I set these values they still change and get antoher value, there is some scaling going on in Excel and I do not know where that comes from. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned.
De data for resizing the charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.

.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top

Change Order Of Chart Legend Freely
Sep 25, 2007see this example of a chart: see Image1.gif (the right thumbnail) as you can see 2 different types of graphs are combined: "lines with markers" and "clustered column".
in the legend one can see that the order inside the legend is clustered by the two types. within a type i can change the order easily (right click on a line or column - format data series - series order - up or down).
question: i would like to change the order freely. how to do this? for the order inside the legend i actually do not care at all, whether a representation of the data is a line or a column. i only want to make it as readable as possible. example what i'd like to get (made by handmodifing the picture with a drawing program): see Image3.gif (the left thumbnail)

Aug 4, 2006I have a chart that combines 2 xy plots and a set of stacked columns ( total of 4 series).
I can adjust the series ordering between the 2 xy plots, and between the stacked columns, but not for all 4 at the same time.
I'd like the legend to show up as:
Series1, Series2, Series3, Series4
where 1 and 2 are the xy plots and 3 & 4 are the components of the stacked columns.
It is currently:
Series3, Series4, Series1, Series2
Any idea how to re-order the legend entries?

Get Legend Along With The Result Of A Formula
Sep 30, 2008I'm working on an evaluating spreadsheet where I give for several items a rate of 1 to 3 and at the end it calculates an average rate. The average rate would range from 1 to 3 as well and their meaning is:

Legend To Go In Alphabetical Order,
Mar 2, 2009For Instance i might have a cell with the value 30KDPA
the one right below this needs to be 30KDPB
then 30KDPC
basically the last letter is going through the alphabetical order. Once it hits Z it should go to AA, AB, AC . Just like an excel file.
If i select the first cell and just drag it down it copies that exact same cell value.

View 2 Replies View RelatedError When Updating Chart From Imported File Data
Oct 4, 2013I've created a spreadsheet which, on running a macro, imports data from a text file, formats it and then sums various parts of it giving me a subset of the large file as a range of data for a chart (a pie chart) on Sheet 2.
The problem begins when I delete the data in the worksheet in preparation for another import - the Pie chart just loses all the data and I have to manually reselect it in the chart each time.
Once deleted the chart is blank, but as soon as the data is imported, I get reference errors when I click on Sheet 2
I must be doing something wrong. You can delete data and repopulate it and the chart should pick up with the new data. If the cells it is referencing are empty, it is blank. Not so here.
Is it to do with importing the data? Or the formula for my chart data?

Legend - Position Property In 2007
Jun 17, 2008I have a 2003 vs. 2007 problem that I've spent a week or so trying to resolve, to no avail. I have created a fairly complex "dictator application" in Excel 2003. The application performs a bunch of calculations, and stores this inforamtion in a template workbook. The template itself contains one worksheet (to hold the data), and twelve empty "chart-sheets" which I later use to create plots. Of course, everything works fine and life is good in Excel 2003.
Flash forward two years, and half of my company is running 2007. When a 2007 user fires the plot creation routine, he is greated with a lovely error message (# 2147467259): "Method 'Position' of object 'Legend' failed".
Here's the full procedure I'm running to create the plots and position the legends:
Function bChartSumFileData(ByVal lTotalPlots As Long)
Const sSOURCE As String = "bChartSumFileData" 'Procedure Name (error-handling)
Dim bReturn As Boolean
Dim i As Long, j As Long, lNumSeries As Long
Dim sTemp As String, sPlotSetting As String
Dim chtTemp As Chart
Dim wksData As Worksheet, wksInfo As Worksheet
Dim serTemp As Series
Dim uSettings As CHART_SETTINGS
Dim vaPlotInfo As Variant
Obviously, lots of custom functions here; I'm also using a custom "type" to store chart settings (which I read from a *.txt file in a separate function). However, as far as the Legend goes, it shouldn't make a difference with the above code. When I stop execution after the error and look at the template workbook, the chart is created just fine, and the legend is visible, so I'm not sure why the error is occuring. Even better, the number of charts created prior to erroring-out is not fixed: sometimes the error occurs on the first plot, sometimes on the third, etc.
Format Range Based On Legend
Aug 22, 2008I need a basic code that accomplishes the following:
1) The user can define a legend for which he can format the cells in that legend however he wishes
2) Cells elsewhere in the sheet that have the same value as that in the legend will format exactly how they are in the legend
3) Default if not in the legend
I found this code that is close...but apparently it relies on the user selecting the cells he wants to format according to the legend FIRST...my code needs an Intersect command or something like that.
Also im not sure if this code actually takes into consideration font+border+shading formats...my code would need to take those into consideration.
example of the desired output is attached! ....
Error Message When Editing XY Chart Dynamic Source Data?

2. dp ss ff
3 .1 .2 .3
4 .3 .4 .4
5 .4 .8 .7
6 .1 .6 .8
7 .3 .5 .1
8 .5 .4 .4
I want to create an XY chart with C3 to C8 as the X axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is) with A3 to A8 as the Y axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is).
I have Defined names for C3 to C8 (myXvalues) and A3 to A8 (myYvalues).
I have created a simple XY graph and selected the ranges as normal.
This is =DATA(,Data!$C$3:$C$9,Data!$A$3:$A$9,1)
The page is named DATA
What I am trying to do now is to edit this range to make the range dynamic.Unfortunately I get error messages which ever way I try to edit the range.
I have tried:-
=SERIES('Data'!$c$3,'Data'!myXvalues,'Data'!$A$3,'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES('Data','Data'!myXvalues, 'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(,Data!myXvalues,Data!$myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(Data!,Data!myXvalues,Data!myYvalues,1)
The data range can go from 8 to 30000 hence the need for a dynamic range!
PS: Also, is there any way to create this graph and dynamic source data in VBA. I have tried this with no success.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Not Display Legend Entry In Table Below Graph
Jul 24, 2012I have a standard bar graph with 2 sets of data: 1 dataset on the primary axis and 1 on the secondary axis. I have defined the legend entries fairly specifically so the descriptions are long. I have also inlcluded a 'rank' value into the graph which doesn't appear on the graph as the values on either axis aren't at a range that allows it to display. However, I want to display the rank value in a table below the graph. However, when I add the table, the legend entries are so long, the graph gets 'scrunched' and looks terrible.
Is there a way to either:
1.) Only show the rank data in the data table below the graph?
or
2.) Show only the data in the data table below the graph and not the legend entries?
or
3.) Another option to display the rank data on the graph?
