I'm building a chart wich displays data for each month and there are 3 phases that are defined by month and included in the chart. I've managed to show both of the category series, but I'd need to change the order in which the labels are displays. Now I have the axis in the following form:
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
I need it in the following form:
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
I am having a problem formatting a chart in Excel 2010. My chart has multi-level category axis labels, and I would like to have a vertical grid line separating each major group of categories. In Excel 2003, I could right-click on one of the gridlines and then specify the spacing I wanted between gridlines. In Excel 2010, as soon as I indicate that I want multi-level category axis labels, I get a vertical gridline between each category and I am unable to alter the spacing. If I deselect the multi-level axis label option, I can adjust the spacing between the vertical gridlines, but the axis multi-level label functionality is lost. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to using the drawing tools or text boxes to achieve the desired results.

It all works fine but I've noticed an odd quirk which I can't explain nor can I seem to fix. Here's the (reduced) code :
Code:
Dim appExcel As Object ' Excel Application
Dim chtPareto As Object ' Chart
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set chtPareto = appExcel.Charts.Add
With chtPareto
' Primary category axis
[code]....
The category (x) axis title should be horizontal, whereas the value (y) axis title should be rotated. Stepping through the code, when I .SetElement for the category axis title, it appears horizontal as planned. However, as soon as I .SetElement for the rotated value axis title, the category axis title also rotates.
how to incorporate another category and value axis to my existing chart.
1. I need to add a rank axis derived from my data column (C6-C15). This column should rank from highest to lowest and create a tie if any number is repeated. I have arranged the rank column in cells B38:L38 as they would appear. I would like this to appear on the top or bottom of the bar graphs.
2. Second I need to add the frequency of hits which = 3 derived from cell J1 This should appear on the chart were it is currently titled. This should create another bar graph colored green and labeled 3.
3. Lastly the numbers axis can remain the same as it appears on the chart or if it would be better to align as shown in cells B43:L43.
I was trying to re-create an example from Chapter 4 the 2nd Edition of Professional Excel Development in which there is a data validation list,
that is conditionally populated according to the selection of another data validation list.
When you choose b/t Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=Categories) in column D, the list under Item (column E) will read as a group of Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=If(IsBlank(D4),"",Indirect(D4)).
When I look at the Define Name dialog box, there is a column indicating the sheet name, which I cannot re-create/build myself. My first question is how do I do this, and secondly, the 2nd formula above will not work when I plug it into the data validation, but it may be on account of these worksheet level names. If you guys can see another reason why, I'm all ears (or eyes as it were).
UPDATE: Of course, I just tried it again this morning and it worked, but i would still lke to know how to use Worksheet/book level names.
In general defining Sheet Level Name Ranges works fine with me, most of the times I use something like shown in the code below.
However, I have discovered that apparently the successfull execution depends on the sheet-name format itself
The code below works perfectly fine with worksheet names like "234", "cas422", etc
but it fails to work with worksheet names like: "C12c", "eh34h4". It seems to me - but I am not sure of being able to generalize this - as if it works when the name contains [numbers][letters] or [letter][numbers], but it fails when it contains a mixture of both like [numbers][letters][numbers] or [letters][numbers][letters] .... in case of a failure of the code, I go into debug mode and simply rename the sheet, then everything's fine again.
Am I the only one to experience such difficulties? (I run Excel 2003 with SP3 on Windows XP) Or would a different code prevent this kind of trouble?
I think, I could write a workround, but before doing so I'd rather like to ask if I am doing something wrong here?
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add name:=wks.name & "!myTime", RefersToR1C1:="=" & wks.name & "!R1C1:R5C8"

Has anyone ever succeeded in offsetting category labels in a chart by surpressing the first category label. I am plotting monthly financial data over several years and want to show category labels for the month ends which coincide with quarterly month ends (i.e Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Dec-06). If I select 2 tick marks between categories I get Jan-06, Apr-06, Jul-06, Oct-6) because my first month and category label is Jan-06. Is there a way to offset displaying the first category label by two tick marks and start with Mar-06 and then go every two tick marks between category labels?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a set of data which I need to plot both unordered and ranked.
For the unordered (as is) data, a line graph is fine, as it gives the category labels along the x axis.
For the ordered data, i have a row with the ranking in, and then plot an xy scatter graph, so the values increase.
This obviously has the rank numbers along the x axis, not the corresponding category labels.
Is there anyway to force this? I know there are chart labelling add-ins on here, but our IT dept blocks the download.
The attched file is a very small example.
I am trying to format the colour of a column chart based on the value of the x axis (not the y axis value). Firstly I need to know if it is possible. Secondly I would appreciate any hints / VBA code that could be useful.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not seem to be able to consistently control word wrapping in the Category Axis area in the series of charts I create quarterly. The individual names appearing are basically the same, but sometimes they word wrap and sometime they don't. In the attached sample, sheet C2-Location: PPO chart is just the way it needs to be - NO WORD WRAP. But if you change that chart to another location it word wraps. (To change locations, go to sheet D2 which controls sheet C2 chart, and change the location to SGO.) It appears that the less bars in the chart the greater the problem.
I have spent 2 1/2 hrs trying to get in control of this. I have changed font sizes, changed the plot area, changed the grid lines scale, changed the cell size on the originating sheet (D2), removed the check mark in Auto Scale on the Font tab, and stretched/reduced the entire chart without consistent success. What is most frustrating is that twice I have "accidently" gotten a chart to all of a sudden not word wrap but don't know why because when I try to repeat what I think I did before, it does not work!
Additionally, at times it may appear correct on the screen, but when I do Print Preview, it is word wrapped! I have searched multiple sites and googled multiple Excel solutions as well as pulled out some books but cannot find any references regarding how to control this.
The attached worksheet explains what I'm trying to do much better than I can.
My data is like Sheet 1 and I need to 'fill' it like Sheet 2.
I have about 5,000 rows over 17 columns. The attached is just an example.

Two questions:
1) How do make values on x-axis as words? E.g. apples, oranges, etc.
2) Is it possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order? If I can figure out 1), I can do this as well, but it would be nice to know if it is possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order.
I have a spreadsheet with golfers handicaps, golfers names down the left in column A in rows 3-35. Row 2 has the event numbers titles 1 to 18 (18 events in a year). i need a graph that has the person as the vert axis and the horizontal axis needs to be the event numbers, so i can read down for the person and across to see how there handicaps change from each different event. i have attached the data below.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to create a graph with a 2 x axis and a single y axis. For example:
Pressure ( PSIA) Solubility (mol %) Velocity (m/s)
200 0.024 1
300 0.036 1.2
400 0.041 1.8
I need the two x axis to be pressure and solubility and the y axis to be velocity, with the data being demonstrated by a single plot (I have only managed it with two plots which does not demonstrate solubility's relationship to pressure ).
For example at a pressure of 200 PSIA (lower x-axis) and solubility of 0.024 mol % (upper x-axis) velocity was found to be 1 m/s.

I have a 2-column employee file. Column A has the employee id and column B has the manager's employee ID. The reporting layers can get pretty deep. In this example, there are 6 layers of reporting. For example, Employee id 1200 (which is not in column A) has 2 employees. One of them (1712) has several employees, one of whom (1680) has employees reporting to them and so on for several levels.
Is there a way in Excel (2003 or 2007) to summarize the reporting structure? For instance, I need to know all of the employees that report up through emp id 1712 - not just that report directly to 1712, but all those under 1712's tree.

C: estanotherlevel
C: est3anotherlevelmylevel3
