Auto Size Dynamic Changing Chart

Jun 14, 2008

I have created a dynamic chart in excel where either the number of Series or the number of Data Points will change dependent on user inputs in the model. I've done this using the Offset Function in a Defined Name in Excel and dropped this Defined Name into vba code using ActiveChart.SetSourceData.

Anyway, all works fine, pulling the correct data, etc. What doesn't work is the final appearence of the chart. The chart has a Legend placed at the bottom of the chart, as standard, unless there is only one Series, when I remove the legend altogether. Whilst the legend works fine, the Plot Area of the chart doesn't update automatically to accomodate the changing size / existence of the Legend. Does anybody know how to do this? I tried using hieght, etc properties, but I don't know how to make them variable

Dynamic Chart/Graph For Changing Ranges

Apr 25, 2008

I have a database in excel with a lot of tables in which lets a uses a combo box so the user select can view just one table.

I want to be able to create a macro so when a button is pressed, it copies the data into a new workbook and creates a chart so they can do whatever they want without disrupting anything in the original workbook.

I have been able to find code that will export the data and create a chart (see below) but the problem is the range changes from table to table so I need to find a way of changing how the chart picks up the data range.

Sub Chart_New_Book()

Sheets("Temp").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C10")
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1"
End Sub

So at the moment when charting ony cells A1:C10 will be plotted no matter what the size of the table is and making the target range bigger only sees the blank cells being plotted.

Auto Size Cells On Visible Columns Not Auto-sizing Correctly?

May 27, 2014

I have the following code:

[Code] ....

When I run the macro, some columns are already hidden. The macro doesn't seem to autosize cells correctly. For instance, one cell in a row appears to have some contents hidden (or below the reading area of the cell). In other instances, the rows are auto-size to huge heights and widths.

How To Filter A Table Of Dynamic Size

Oct 15, 2012

I am trying to filter a table of dynamic size. My table begins at P3 (first row of data, not column header) and ends somewhere at the bottom of Column AA. I am getting an error "AutoFilter Method of Range Class Failed." Why? How do I fix this?

Here is my code

VB:

If Target.Range.Address = "$B$4" Then
With Sheets("Days Past Due")
LastCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AA").End(xlUp).Row
MsgBox LastCell
ActiveSheet.Range("P3:AA" & LastCell).AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:="MABST"
End With
End If

Sorting Data With Dynamic Size Using VBA

Jun 8, 2014

I currently have two tables in one worksheet showing the sales of different region.

The problem is, when I sort the data (I can't used the named ranges as it should exclude the first row which is the header), is there a way I can make it dynamic too??

** The Europe table is from A1:G5 where Row 1 is the Header and Row 5 is the Total

Code:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort

.SortFields.Clear
.SortFields.Add Key:= _
Range("G2:G4"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption _
:=xlSortNormal
.SortFields.Add Key:= _
Range("F2:F4"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption _

Random Sample Of Size N From Dynamic List

Feb 13, 2014

I am working on a sampling tool in Excel which is based on what a user enters into a column. The user enters observation codes (text) in column A beginning at row 2 and going down to however many they have. I already have formulas which determine the sample size needed based on the number of nonblank values in that column; the resulting sample size is in G4. I'm thinking that I will need to have a form with a button module to select the random sample from the values in col A. This way Excel isn't running the module while the user is entering the values. The resulting sample can be pasted into a separate column or sheet.

Chart Size

Jan 29, 2007

I am having some problems with some charts that are being created via VBA.
If I create the chart at 1600 x 1200 screen resolution at 100% zoom then my chart is fine but if I am at a different level of zoom or a different screen resolution the code for position the top and left and width and height of the plot area does not work as expected.

I have the outside of the chart set at 600 wide by 600 tall and no matter what resolution i'm in it seems that it always stays this way. I just seems the plot area and the legend move around.

VBA Changing Axis Title Font Size And Typeface

Dec 18, 2012

I've been successful at changing the font size for the Main title and legend using these commands:

Code:
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Font.Size = 8
ActiveChart.Legend.Font.Size = 8

But the horizontal axis has me stumped. I recorded part of this but can't get it to work:

Code:
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).AxisTitle.Font.Size = 8

How can I change the typeface to Times New Roman for all three and change the font size for the Axis titles? hundreds of charts to change and not enough patience to to it manually.

Changing Chart Properties Without Activating Chart

Jul 19, 2012

My question is regarding changing properties in a chart without activating it. My current example is with adding data labels, but there are many other instances I could use this information in. Here is my current code:

VB: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels

However, I was hoping to replace it with something like this:

VB: Sheets("Dashboard").ChartObjects("Chart 1").SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels

I get the "Object doesn't support this property/method" error. Is there a way to do this? It just seems inefficient to have to activate the chart in order to make changes.

Auto Size Column Widths For Printing

Jul 30, 2007

Need a bit of help with a dynamic column resize.

This is the scene. Imagine 2 lists of data, each list 2 columns wide (like 2 lists of names and phone numbers). List 1 covers column A and B, List 2 covers column D and E. I want it so that on the push of a button, columns A-E are automatically resized to be just big enough for their longest content, and column C resizes so that column D is on the next page.

The general idea is that you can print the sheet, and put together the pages relating to the seperate lists.

Excel 2007 :: Default Chart Size?

Jan 6, 2014

I have excel 2007 and I came across the following difficulty:

If I create a graph (or a chart) the default size is "Letter". However, I can switch this "Letter" to "A4" which I need and then create a template. But I always have to manually choose this template for new charts. However switching this any time I create a new chart is a rather bad way to cope with. Even clicking on set as default obviously does not cause to have A4 size for new chart, it still has got size of Letter when adding a new chart.

I assume the solution could be in XLStart templates, but it probably doesnt work for charts that you add. Or at least I didnt find any clue on the internet for this problem.

Macro Copying & Pasting Chart Affects Its Size

Sep 13, 2006

I have a macro that takes a worksheet and copies it to another workbook. It works, but the graph that is contained in the new worksheet ends up a little screwy; for instance, the Plot Area is larger than it should be (height-wise along the screen), and the chart's legend isn't in the exact same place as in the original chart.

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(tempSheet).Copy After:=wb.ActiveSheet 'before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)

'must unprotect before unlinking. We'll leave it unlocked cuz we don't care.

Create UserForm TextBox At Run-Time & Auto Size To Fit Text

Dec 11, 2008

I have a user form on which I need to create a textbox every time the user clicks a button. There are too many to create them all in advance and make them visible when needed. The sample attached, from this forum, is good, except, the numbers in the text box just scroll along and I need to see all the text typed into my textboxes. I would like the textboxes to be multiline, wordwrap and have them resize according to the amount of text.

Insert Picture & Auto Size To Active Cell Dimmensions

Jun 25, 2006

What I am trying to do is to give the user the ability to insert a photo and have it autosize into a range of cells--so far I can only get it to work with a single cell and a predefined file. Can this be refined so that rng references a group of cells and pic somehow lets the user input a file name or pick its name and location?

Sub test()
On Error Resume Next
Set pic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:
ange.gif")
On Error Goto 0
If Not pic Is Nothing Then 'Found it!'
Set rng = ActiveCell
With pic
.Height = rng.Height
.Width = rng.Width
.Left = rng.Left
.Top = rng.Top
End With
End If
End Sub

Excel 2010 :: Chart To Show All Of Amount Values For Each Size Value

Dec 12, 2011

I am trying to create a chart that would show all of the Amount values for each Size value that is in the example data below. The Size column has fixed values. In my example the values are: .5, 1, 2, 5, 8, 13 and 21. The Amount column data is variable. Any of the static Size values can be associated with many Amount values. I was attempting to have the static Size values on the X (horizontal) axis and the Amount values on the Y (vertical) axis. I would like to have all of the Amount values for each Size value be shown directly above the corresponding size value, in one vertical line. See example below.

I an creating this type of chart in Excel 2010.

Note, I am still new to this forum and don't know how to post pictures or Excel data into my posts. I am also using dots (periods) to provide separation in my examples.

Amount...Size
58.5.......21
1........... 0.5
2........... 1
1.5.........1
27.5.......13
12.5.......5
2............1
3.5.........2
17.5.......8
4........... 2
48..........21
0.5.........0.5
15..........5
11..........2

Chart that I am trying to create. The chart example is not to scale.

...........60.|
...............|..........................................................................*(21,58.5)
Amount.50.|
...............|..........................................................................*(21,48)
...........40.|

Dynamic Named Range Changing?

Feb 25, 2014

I am doing an Advanced Filter, and I am using a named range in my VBA code that decides the Criteria range.

The dynamic named range is called 'Criteria' and this is the code:

VB:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,Sheet1!$BZ$23,41)

However, when I run the VBA code, although it works perfectly, afterwards the named range has changed to:

VB:
=Sheet1!$A$2:$AO$3

I just want this to remain unchanged, as it works great. This is my VBA code:

VB:
'Filter and send data to new sheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Cells.Select

Pivot Table With Dynamic, Updatable Chart, But Not A Pivot Chart!

Dec 19, 2008

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?

Dynamic SumIF Formulas That Reference Changing Codes

Dec 1, 2007

I have a list of codes from which I'm trying to extract all unique entries.

For example, col A has 001, 001, 002, 003, 003, 003, 004, ...

I'm trying to create a report template with formulas that reference col A and return a single unique entry for each code so that the new column has only 001, 002, 003, 004.

Essentially, the codes reference customers. A customer can have multiple purchases -- but I'm trying to create a report in which I can utilize SumIf formulas to Sum the purchases for each customer and represent those purchases on a single line per customer code.

The catch is that the purchases change monthly (i.e., next month the purchases may be 001, 002, 002, 002, 004) so my report template needs to have the flexibility to adapt without me rewriting the SumIf formulas and return SumIf results for only customers 001, 002, 004. Whereas in the prior month, the report returned SumIf results for customers 001, 002, 003, 004.
