I have an export from a database that I'm bringing into Excel 2010 of about 30K records. Data points are recorded numerically and I have their associated text "value label" (what it would be called in STATA, for example, not sure what it's called in Excel). I want to create various charts/pivot tables with the data and want the labels to be the text label, not the number.
For example, variable ASSIGNMENT has the following possibilities:
1 2 3 4
Here's what each of those "mean" (I have this in another table):
1 - Sick 2 - Overtime 3 - Court 4 - Present
How do I create a chart or pivot table where the labels are "sick", "overtime", etc., and not "1", "2", "3", "4"?
I am attaching the Excel File along with this mail. In chart there is data points have been mentioned in scatter plot like (38,15 etc) Instead of these points I want the names that I have mentioned in column A2:A9. I used to make lots of charts related to this and it is very diffilcult for me to manually punch all these names and most importantly the thing is that I cant download the software available on http://www.appspro.com due to some issues can you give me the VBA code for this which will automatically paste these names only I have to change is the data range and its very urgent................ASAP
What I'm aiming to be able to do is have a scatter plot that displays date labels for each point as well as distinguish the points by year by using different colors. I found a VBA code for scatter plot date labels and I also realize that (for me at least), the easiest way to distinguish the years by color would be to separate them with a logical statement and let the chart do the rest of the work by categorizing them as separate data ranges. However, I tried to do this with the VBA code that I found and it expectedly did not work. I'm not sure if it's an easy fix to just add more "xvalues" columns in the code or if what I want to do here is even possible.
Format and Code for the Date Labels: Date Time Rainfall (mm) 24 hr RDII Volume (L/ha/day)
I have a basic bar graph showing the average home prices per quarter. I know I can turn the legend on and position it to show the average price on top of each bar in the graph. I would like to add an additional legend (on this chart) showing how many homes sold per quarter but not display it as a bar. I just want the number displayed maybe on the bar or below the bar. Can I add a separate (extra) legend?
I have a file with a small example of sales and % of sales for about 7 persons.
I wanted to insert a pie chart but want to show labels inside the pie chart along with % of sales and the sales person name near each part. How to do this ?
I'm trying to resize the data labels in my chart so that the word Institutional appears on 1 line (It's currently on 2 lines) like the pic below:
but clicking the corners of the data label and dragging it does not work for me. I click on the corners and nothing happens. How I can make the data labels bigger without getting the text cut off to the next line?
I have, _________X________Y Brown ____1.5 ______0.1 Black _____1.2______ 0.5 White____ 1.9 _______0.2 Red ______1.1 _______0.9 Yellow____ 2.0 _______0.4 Green _____1.8 _______0.7
Now the Colors are the lables I need to put in each x and y data.
I am trying to write an If statement that returns true if Valule is checked off in the Data Labels portion of a chart. I tried using a HasDataLabel properties but Excel didn't recognize that.
I'm trying to write a macro that will format my chart data based on the corresponding cell value. I have the following code, which runs without error, but the formatting on data points doesn't change. I can't seem to get this to actually change the color of the data point in the chart.
Code: Sub FormatChart() Dim wb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Dim wks As Worksheet Dim y As Long Dim j As Long
'this routine will format the charts on worksheets "SL11730" & "SL14100" 'so that data points equal to or above 98% will be green filled and 'all other points will be red filled
'set loop counter to two (contract (4100) & retail (1730)) j = 1 'start loop Do Until j = 3 If j = 1 Then strwkb = "SL11730" If j = 2 Then strwkb = "SL14100"
Using the table, draw a stacked chart that has both the project name (A, B etc) and Month on the x-axis (below all the projects). the stacked chart should contain the count for cat1, cat2, cat3 and cat 4 for each project (in different but consistent numbers for each month).
I need this for a presentation today,

In a chart if you display data labels is there a way of avoiding a zero being displayed if the relevant cell is the result of a formula? It seems that even if the result of that formula is a blank or 'n/a' it is still displayed as 0.
I want to create grouped labels on a chart x-axis of the type created automatically when creating a pivot chart. For example: I have projects, samples and sample yields. There are multiple samples in a project so I have a sheet that looks something like this below:-
I would like to create a chart that has Project and Sample as the x-axis where the samples are all grouped into their project. Pivot charts do this nicely, but how to do it without a pivot chart? As you will see from the attached file I can get both Project and Sample on the x-axis, but the Projects are overlapping.
I have a chart that feeds from dynamic ranges which contain whole rows of null enteries displayed as #N/A. The charts do not plot these enteries (as it shouldn't) however it does display the category label even if it too is #N/A. Is it possible to remove the category label if all data for that row is null. ie the label is also removed from the chart.
I have a pie chart that shows numerical values in dollars and I'm looking for a macro that will delete the $0 data labels. I found this code from Jon Peltier (great website by the way) but I can't seem to get it to work on my pie chart. No errors, just doesn't do anything:
Sub CleanUpActiveChartLabels() Dim iPts As Integer Dim nPts As Integer Dim aVals As Variant Dim srs As Series ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("MainChart").Activate For Each srs In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection With srs If .HasDataLabels Then nPts = .Points.Count aVals = .Values For iPts = 1 To nPts If aVals(iPts) = 0 Then .Points(iPts).HasDataLabel = False End If Next End If End With Next End Sub
How to add high/low points to a line graph, similar to what sparklines have. The file I am using now doesn't allow me to add new columns of data, so I'm trying to figure something out that just updates dynamically using the data I already have in place.
This page has the thing I want to do, but it requires additional columns to be added to work, which I don't want:
How do i conditionally colour chart data points. This is an example of my data from which the chart is created from.
Salesman A 10 Salesman B 10 US Total 20 Salesman C 20 Salesman D 10 Philipines Total 30
When the chart is created, i would like the country total data points to be in orange while the rest of the data points should remain in white. I tried this code and it returned me an error.
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Average of Margin").Points("ID Total").Select With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 36 .Pattern = xlSolid End With
I also tried the online F1 help it told me to use Points(Index). However i do not want to refer to the ponint with an index as the number of salesman or country could change. Therefore changing the index points.
I have a VBA script that walks through the series of points on a chart and sets color based on other parameters unique to each point. Unfortunately, this doesn't see to work.
Running the following code, the .MarkerBackgroundColor and .MarkerForegroundColor commands seem to have no effect:
With myChtObj.Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(Counter) .MarkerSize = 8 .MarkerStyle = xlDiamond .Shadow = True .MarkerBackgroundColor = RGB(250, 250, 250) ' These have no effect .MarkerForegroundColor = RGB(0, 0, 0) ' These have no effect .MarkerTransparency = 0
End With
Setting these parameters for the series as a whole does work, but not for individual points. Is this a known issue? Is this unique to the Mac version of Excel?
Was working on this problem for a poster: [URL] ......
I can't seem to get the pivot table/chart to format exactly as I desire. It seems that as soon as I add 'group by hour and day' Excel forces the formatting to AM/PM and I want to keep it military. I want to group by hour, so that data that occurs at 6:00 and at 6:30 are grouped, and I had to group by day so that 6:00 on 1/1 was separated from 6:00 on 1/2.
Attached is a worksheet which shows the desired chart format (not a pivot chart), and the attempted pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to match the 'simple' chart in look and feel. Any attempts to change the formatting of the row labels to 'h' is promptly ignored by Excel.
Note the two tasks that occur at hour 18 (one at 18:00 and the other at 18:20 (you will need to see the formatting to truly see the minutes)). Those should be combined in the pivot table (and they are) and on my 'adjusted' table (where I used SUMIFS).
I have a data set where a number of pieces of technology are listed in rows. For each piece of technology it can relate to a "Network" or a "Terminal" and the columns are yes/no as follows:
Tech Network? Terminal?
Tech 1 Yes No Tech 2 Yes Yes Tech 3 No No Tech 4 No Yes
When I plot this on a pivot chart, I get the attached chart, where the x-axis relate to the hierarchies, i.e. Yes/Yes, Yes/No, No/Yes or No/No. As you can imagine, this is not very useful for the viewer as it's not clear what the yeses and nos refer to. It would be much better if I could rename the axis labels: "both"; "network only"; "terminal only"; or "neither".
Is this possible? And is there a solution that doesn't require me to change the source data? I'm happy to use a power pivot if that would make things easier.
Previous question regarding dynamic ranges within a table to create a dynamic chart.
I've now come across another issue regarding the same table but creating a new graph to display a new graph. This time, I need the graph to only include labels with data in them.
The data is based on months including achieved targets and forecasted targets. I need to show a graph for the achieved targets to date and exclude any future months from the graph. e.g. For this month, I would only want to show January to July values and not include August to December.
How easy is this to do? I don't know how to use the OFFSET function but think that this might be a possible solution.
I have a chart with 20 series labels that are series 1, series 2.... etc. I want to label them with 20 corresponding cells but can't find how to do this in Excel 2010 (I seem to remember this being easy to do in older versions). At the moment I am having to click on source data and edit each label individually... Is there a quicker way?
I have created a chart that provides a hisotry of events on a timeline. It relies on named ranges and allows me to change the upper and lower date ranges displayed on the x-axis of the chart by changing the date in cells that define the upper and lower dates. In order to display the events on the timeline I have a table that includes 3 columns... a date colmn, an event description column, and a event height column. To display the information I have used a line chart with data points that uses the "event height" data to determine how high up on the graph to display the event information. I have hidden the line, added a label for each event, and added an error bar that draws a line between each label and the bottom of the chart. By default the labels displayed the "event height" information (as expected), so I selected each label individually and added a formula that causes it to display information from the "event description" column instead of the default value. All of this works perfectly with no issues.
The problem comes when I change the date range displayed in the chart. Currently the chart displays event information for 1/1/2012 - 5/30/2012. I can modify 5/30/2012 to be any date I would like that is greater than 1/1/2012 with no problem. Everything displays correctly. However, if I modify the 1/1/2012 date the labels change to reflect the original value (event height data) instead of what I modified it to (event description).
This should be pretty simple but I don't know how to do it. When I run the macro recorder, it doesnt record the change. I just want to change the number format of the chart labels from currency to a normal number and visa-versa. Why doesnt this work?
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?
Is it possible to hide some of the number labels on an axis; e.g. in on the chart below to hide the X-axis label 96? Or only start numbering from 97 while the chart displays from 96. Auto Merged Post;Well I have a solution to hiding the first value on the excel X axis values labels just using a custom number format;
[Black][>96]General;
but is there anyway of formating more than a couple of the number labels individually?
I know from searching through the internet you can change the intervals by modifying the minimumScale, maximumScale and MajorUnit fields of TickLabels. What I want to do is change the period of the axis label to a comma. For example,
