Adjusting Charts To Reflect Data Properly

Feb 2, 2009

I've compiled data into a spreadsheet which indicates the number of homes sold over the course of 3 years (from 1/1/05 to now) along with their price per square foot, sale price, year built, bed/bath count, and other pertinent factors regarding each property.

I've extrapolated graphs from these in the past which indicated the trends in each category over time (i.e.: Average quarterly price per square foot over time, and so forth).

The data range I'm working with now, however, is from an area of my region so small, that the number of units sold over the past few years is sporadic. Whereas it's normally 100 to 1000 units that comprise my data, now it's only 15 units.

This has created gaps in my line graphs where the price per square foot will dramatically drop down to zero over the periods in time where no sale was recorded. So the line graph ends up looking like a zig-zaggy range of peaks reflecting the price per square foot of a sale, and valleys representing "$0.00" for periods of time where nothing has sold.

To have a Price per square foot of $0.00 is incorrect since in reality nothing was sold.

I would like to be able to eliminate the portions of the graph that have the "$0.00" so that the line graph can "jump" from one sale to the next when the quarterly data indicates 0 units sold.

I'd like to do this without having to eliminate those areas in my spreadsheets. Is there any "catch-all" tool that might do this or is that just crazy talk?

Changing Data On One Sheet To Reflect Changes On Another?

Jul 1, 2013

My goal is to have changes done to one sheet reflect on to another to make things much more easy to do. Below is a picture of what I am dealing with. ( I covered some personal information)

pic of excel.jpg I want to be able to plug in something or delete it and have it reflect to all other sheets. Also I would like to be able to plug in some information and have it export itself based on a specific information. For example, I would want all Newark,NJ contacts to be place in the Newark list automatically.

To Collect Data From A Darts Team And These Values Reflect

Jul 4, 2006

I am trying to collect data from a darts team and these values reflect
the number of points won in a team game (ranging from 0 - 3). This will
probably be simple for the experts here, so I'll let fly:

I have a table with six names across the top. In the rows below there
will always be two cells that have number values ranging from 0 - 3
while the rest will be blank. Those two numbers however, will always be
the same. I am trying to write a formula that will determine which
columns have values and return a single letter value (first initial)
for each name. Since all the names are different that is not an issue...

RowSource To Reflect Data Added To Named Range

Nov 8, 2006

I have several ComboBoxes & ListBoxes on a Userform that populate by referring to Dynamic Named Range in the RowSource property. Also on the Userform is an area to edit/add/delete items in these named ranges. If I Add or Delete an item, the Named Range does not automatically resize--or at least the Menus don't "resize" accordingly--unless I unload the UserForm and load it back up. Is there a way to refresh these Comboboxes without reloading the UserForm?

Add Data Monthly And Then Have To Manually Update The "source Data" To Reflect The Added Data On Chart

Apr 28, 2009

I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.

Indirect: Reflect The Data In The Active Sheet Or Give Me A #VALUE Error

Jan 16, 2009

I am running the formula =VALUE(RIGHT(CELL("filename"),15)) to read the tab name in a workbook with 90 sheets. When a new account is opened, the operator inserts a new sheet from a template (which contains the above formula), and labels the tab to the account number. The formula then 'reads' in the account number and performs look-ups based on it.

The problem is that the sheets are only working when the sheet is active. They all seem to reflect the data in the active sheet or give me a #VALUE error. Where am I going wrong? How do I fix the problem?

Prevent Excel From Adjusting Formulas When Inserting New Columns Of Raw Data

Nov 12, 2013

I have a sheet with 2 tabs. On the first tab is my data and the 2nd tab is the formula.

This is my formula;

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)))

When I insert a new column at 'A' the formula changes (as below)

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)))

How do i stop the reference changing from 'Data!$A:$AD' to 'Data!$B:$AE' when inserting the column?

Sum Function To Reflect Results Across Sheets

Aug 4, 2014

I am trying to sum the details from sheet2 in sheet3. I am currently using a plain formula to sum-up the values. However, create a indirect and vlookup function to sum the values.

In sheet3, I have to sum the values from sheet2 based on the contacts. Sheet1, sheet2 and Sheet3 are connected and any update(insert,delete.. etc) will be made in sheet 1 only. Sheet2 automatically updates based on sheet1. Similarly, Sheet3 should also update based on sheet1 and sum the values based on contacts from sheet2.

I have added the formula which I am currently using in the sheet.

Updated The File Name Changes To Reflect The Revision

Mar 17, 2009

I have a spreadsheet that references another spreadsheet, however the other spreadsheet will get updated from time to time. When it's updated the file name changes to reflect the revision:

"C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R00-Inst_Database.xls"

When this file is revised the "...R001..." will increment with each revision but the rest of the file will stay the same.

Sometimes I have to reference a file in another directory:
"C:Projects9-030_Brazil1 Design9-030-R00-Inst_Database.xls"

I was planning on placing information in the following cells of this spreadsheet ("C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R001-Cause_&_Effects.xls):

Cell A1 - Project Number (i.e. 09-022, or 09-030)
Cell A2 - Project Name (i.e. Tunisia, or Brazil)
Cell A3 - File Rev Number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.)

I was thinking my "INDIRECT.EXE" would look something like this:
=INDIRECT.EXE("'C:Projects"&A1&"1_Design["&A1&"_"&A2&"-R00"&A3&"-Cause_&_Effects.XLS]Index'!Q5")

The value on the spreadsheet tab "Index" that I'm referencing in cell Q5, is "FG-5901" but all I'm getting in the spreadsheet were this formula resides, is an error "#NAME?"

Part of my problem is that I don't fully understand the function of the "&" symbol in the formula. Sometimes I've seen it placed on both sides of a cell reference (i.e. &A1&), and other time only at the being (i.e. &A1).

Avergaes Points (reflect By Lines) To Start

Nov 15, 2007

I have a chart with 8 series of data, 4 of which reflect actuals and 4 of which relates to averages of the 4 actuals of a period of 5 months.

The 4 actuals series are represented by bars on the chart and the 4 averages are represented by lines on the graph.

When viewing the chart it shows 4 bars per period (for each of the actuals) and 4 lines (for each of the averages per period)

How do I get the avergaes points (reflect by lines) to start above the actuals they are averaging? At the moment the points are bang in the middle of the 4 bars in the chart?

Not sure if I have explained my problem preoperly but if not I can email a file showing what I mean if needs be.

Charts: Use Different Source Data

Feb 6, 2007

If there a way to change the souce data so that it changes based on a variable? For example, if a cell's value equals X then use one range and if it is Y then use a different. As far as I can tell you cannot use the "IF" argument in a chart Source field.

One option I came up with is to change the actual data on a worksheet and always have the source data point to that range in the worksheet. The problem is that the source data is not always the same length (Monthly may be 100 columns long while Daily is 1000 columns long - the chart looks starnge).

I am trying to put some charts into a report that is pivot table based. I have some code that will work if the pivot tables stay stagnic but the users may change the tables around so that could be an issue of new data. I have the following code where I changed the source to the pivot table name (general name because of numberous report possibilites). I have taken out the other charts because they are just a variation of the chart 1. I am crashing on the line with the * on it.

Dim oChart As Chart

Customize Data Table In Charts?

Jul 9, 2014

excel data table within the charts. I would like to customize the data table placing underneath the chart so I can highlight (say, in red) some of the figures that are greater than certain values for easy reference. Is there anyway I can do with it (since I got more than 800 charts) than that I can only use tools to draw a rectangle and cover that particluar cells up? or is there any ways I can link up the conditional formatting of the data itself with the chart so I can applying certain coloring on the data and reflect on the data table?

Formatting Charts With Different Data Types

Jan 3, 2012

I have three items I would like to graph, on one chart. The first is %Complete. This is a number figure. The next is the date the item is due to ship. Obv, this is a Date. The third is today's date. Basically, I would like to display in the same chart so that we can see how far a long a project is, in relation with today's date and how much longer we have until it needs to ship.

This is the current display of the chart:

Is there a way to show the ship date, as the 100% complete mark? In order to make it display half-way decent, I had to format the left y-axis to go above 100%. I first tried to format the right y-axis, but was extremely confused to setting values. I figured out that the end date is somewhere in the 40,000 value mark? WTF is this about? Is 1 equal to 24 hours? I assumed that was the case, but then when I pick the value it should end with, it doesn't seem to react that way. I want the right axis to start with 12/01/2011 and end with 5/01/2012. How can I achieve this?
