Automate Marker Options In Spreadsheet?

Jul 2, 2014

I have a scatter plot in which there are, for example, twenty plotted points representing one of three major categories.

We're using a red square, green triangle and blue circle to represent our categories on the graph. Going in to every plot point and manually changing each point so that it has the proper color and style is very time consuming.

Is there a way to designate in the spreadsheet (in its own column or something) that I always want the plot point to be represented in a certain way (like a red square) when graphed?

Conditional Formulas-to Get A Spreadsheet To Automate Calculations Of Unit Costs Based On Variable Packaging Names

Dec 1, 2008

I am looking for a way to get a spreadsheet to automate calculations of unit costs based on variable packaging names.

I have a series of packages that are denoted by text phrases. Examples:

4/6/12
2/12/12
6/4/12
18/12
24/12

For our purposes let's say the package names above will always be in column A. Column B contains the frontline price of a case of product represented by the phrase in column A. Column C will contain the cost per unit of product - this is obtained by dividing column B by the number of each package arrangement that can be found in one case. Most of the time the number of package arrangements per case is denoted by the very first number in the package name (ie, 4/6/12 would be 4). This won't always be the case though (18/12 would be a package arrangement of 1).

I am looking for a way for the spreadsheet to do all of the following and return the results in column C: if the package name contains "4/6/12", divide column B by 4; if the package name contains "2/12/12", divide column B by 2; if the package name contains "6/4/12" divide column B by 6; if the package name contains "18/12", divide column B by 1; if the package name contains "24/12" divide column B by 24.

How Do I Modify The Comment Marker/symbol

Nov 15, 2008

I would like to insert images (like a questionmark symbol) into a spreadsheet I'm working on, and then when the user hovers the mouse over the questionmark a "help-text" pops up. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to be that simple making a tooltip, however, is it possible to replace the small red triangle that is inserted into the sheet to indicate a comment with an image?

Image As Custom Xy Chart Marker

Oct 19, 2007

I'm trying to use an image as a custom marker on an XY scatter chart. The jpg image is embedded on a separate worksheet and when I copy and paste it via code it seems to be arbitrarily resized. I've also tried to resize the embedded image and set the marker size but it always appears about 3 times the size of the original image. See CASE -0.5 below.

Set seriespoint = chtBaseArea.SeriesCollection(" Events").Points

For i = 1 To rngCombPointsY.Rows.Count
With seriespoint(i)
.HasDataLabel = True
.ApplyDataLabels Type:=xlDataLabelsShowLabel
.DataLabel.Text = rngCombPoints. Cells(i, 1).Value
.DataLabel.Position = xlLabelPositionAbove
.DataLabel.Font.Bold = True
.DataLabel.Font.Size = 8

Select Case rngVehicleY.Cells(i, 1).Value

Case -0.5
Set shpTemp = wrkshtGraphics.Shapes("Soyuz_Small_Icon")
shpTemp.Copy
.Paste
.MarkerSize = 10

Adding A Coloured Marker On Chart Y Axis.

Aug 7, 2009

I have a simple Excel 2007 column chart which has names listed along the y axis for each column. Associated with each name in a small table is a colour reference. Is it possible to add a small marker (say a triangle or something) that aligns with each column?

Or possibly (or in addition) colour each column differently and in accordance with the assigned colours? I'm doing this with some vba code. but if someone can point out the general principle I should be able to work that in.

Hiding The Active Cell Marker / Placeholder

May 24, 2006

I feel a bit silly asking this in the presence of so many obvious excel gurus: but here it goes. I've created some user forms, activex controls, etc. that do a series of complex calculations, supported by VBA and it's at the point where I want to roll it out. How do I hide / get rid of the active cell marker on the sheets? I've looked in the "options - view" section and have lucked out.

Setting Chart Marker Based On Cell Format

Apr 12, 2006

I have a dynamic chart which I would like to show markers in a SeriesCollection anywhere the backcolor of any of the corresponding source cells is ColorIndex = 36; otherwise no marker is shown. Something along the lines of:

VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred

when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
With Sheets("Chart").ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
For i = 1 To UBound(.Values)
If "something here to check if .Interior.ColorIndex = 36" Then
.Points(i).MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleCircle
Else
.Points(i).MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleNone
End If
Next i
End With

Excel VBA - Change Marker Styles For All Series Excluding Unmarked Lines

Aug 4, 2014

I have a macro that changes the marker style for all series in a scatter chart, chosen through an input box.

[Code].....

It works nicely, but I want it to exclude any series that do not have markers (i.e. lines used to indicate a reference value). I've tried an if-then statement after the With statement, but it will add markers to any line series:

[Code] ......

Basically, if the series has markers or line+markers, I want it to change the marker style, otherwise do nothing with the series.

Excel 2010 :: Add Pie Chart Into Data Point Marker On Line Chart

Nov 27, 2011

I am looking for a creative way to display a pie chart within a data point marker of a line chart.

My database has 3 value columns, Type1, Type2 and the Total (Type1 + Type2)
these are recorded per day (Date, in Column A)

I have a line chart that displays the total by date, but I want to find a way to display the percentage split of a particular day by type.

I was thinking to load the chart image into the Data point marker, but i don't think that is the best way as the data is updated daily and I would have to do it each day for a few line charts.

The other way I was thinking about was to have a generic Pie chat in the Line chart (Maybe in a corner) and the pie would update depending on way date series was selected or Mouseover'd)

the way that I am approaching it at the movement (Not the best way and by far not the coolest way. Is to have a list of all the dates in a column next to the Line chart and using some VBA, what ever date is selected in the column the pie chart displays the corresponding data. But eh challenge is that when there is alot of dates, I am going to be scrolling up and down.

I am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.

I would also have to make sure that the user can only select "English", "Maths", "Science" and NOT "--Subjects".

VBA Security Options

Oct 12, 2009

We have developed an Excel workbook with hundreds of lines of VBA code written for a specific application, and we would like to protect it.

Could someone give me an idea of what security options we have over and above the below (if any)?

We have protected all sheets and the workbook itself with passwords. The VBA itself is protected with a passoword.

My understanding is that VBA can be hacked into quite easily.....is there any way of adding another layer of security/protection without having to move to another platform altogether?

Rounding With Three Options

Nov 26, 2008

numbers in one column need to be rounded to the nearest half decimal, with next conditions(ill took number 704,00 for example):
- if last two decimals are < 0,25 then my number has to be 704.00
- if last two decimals are >0,25<0,75 then my number has to be 704.50
- and finally if last two decimals are >0,75 then my number has to be 705.00

I tried with IF, CEILING, INT and ROUND functions but i didn't made it work with three options, that i need. I only made it work if i use only two options.

Having Different Totals From Different Options

May 4, 2007

I would like to know how do I go about adding the following:

This is a test it counts out of 1250 points

But there are 3 fields which can be omitted from the grand total of 1250
Some students might not have all three fields. The fields totals are 30, 90 and 130. The students might have one or two of them in either order. Now what I would like to do is have 3 different fields where I can mark with a Y=Yes and N=No in a block. then it would change the Grand Total score accordingly.

Right Click Options Are Gone

Sep 19, 2008

I recently added a macro in excel that stopped users from cutting and pasting and dragging etc. I got the macro from the web. I have delete the macro, but for some reason I cannot get it back to normal. If I right click on a cell the cut, copy, insert, delete, format cell menu is grayed out. The undo button also does not work? I have searched for the macro and deleted it but it seems to have changed something else. I have even tried to disable macros, but all menu items are still gone?

AutoFilter Options VBA

Aug 17, 2006

I have a userform that prints out pages using a autofilter, the code in the userform prints out 13 different criterias from the autofilter. But the problem is i have no control over what criteria i can print out. Theres the

ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("seasons")
Sheets("Day Handover").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Sheets("Activities Pick Sheet").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="1"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="2"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="3"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="4"......................

So i have design another userform that will able me to control what criteria can print out using checkboxes. But i don't know how to code the new userform so when i select a checkbox it removes that criteria from the code in the first userform called 'frmPrintOptions' and when deselect the checkbox it puts the criteria back in the code. Also the Second userform called 'frmAutoPrint' must remember what checkboxes have been selected and deselected.

If Formula With 3 Options

Nov 25, 2006

I am currently having trouble getting =IF forumla's to work, with more than 3 options AND an equation being taken into account. Attached, is an example of a spreadsheet, involving what I currently have, with Row 5 showing the formula's I've used, and rows 2-4 showing examples of 'Yes', 'No' and 'Equal' outcomes.

For Column E, I would like the value from the above cell (set to zero in the formula of the first cell) to:
-Go up 1 digit (from the above cell's value) for a Yes in that rows C cell
-Go down 1 digit (from the above cells value) for a No in that rows C cell
-Go up 2 digit (from the above cell's value) for a Equal in that rows C cell

As can also be seen from my example, I only have it working so that 'Yes' in C will take the value up by 1, and anything else (including 'No' and 'Equal') going down a point, which is only really using 2 options. I have tried numerous different possibilities for trying to get this to work, all of which gave me #VALUE error, or wouldn't even let me accept the formula. My current formula for what I have now (with only 2 options) is

=If(C5="Yes",E4+1, E1-1)

Basically, if possible, I would just like to make the E column change from 2 different ways (e.g +1 and -1) to 3+ different ways (e.g +1, +2 and -1).

Using Named Ranges Across Different Options?

Jan 28, 2014

At the moment I have to click in the cell and then look at the cells used and look across to the title of the rows.

So for example, performance = D3*D4*D5*D6

I would like, performance = vehicles*availabliity*utilisation*TKM.

That is easy if I have just 1 option. But what if I have 3 options? Naming each cell would be a way to do it but pretty laborious, is there a 'smart' way to use named ranges here?
