Automatically Create Chart Images
Jun 12, 2014
I currently need to create around 1200 chart images using excel for a report series I am performing for a client. I have been trying all kinds of different things, all failures, to automate this process. My current method is to filter a pivot table on the building I am analyzing, copying the chart, pasting it as a picture in Ms Word, then saving that image as a Picture. Obviously, this process is quite lengthy, especially if I multiply that over the course of all 1200 images.
I am looking for a solution using a macro, vba, or a combination of things to automate this process and maybe even create the jpgs automatically?

to write a code that would create a chart automatically in another worksheet when a button is clicked.
I have attached the sample data that I am working on.
Each row in the sheet represent 3 coordinates, which are:
coordinate # 1 = start, 0
coordinate # 2 = centre, level
coordinate # 3 = end, 0

I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.

Trying to create an excel chart to create totals based upon different keys. I
need to be able to calculate how many customers there are by Manager and then
By Rep. Then to figure out how many were New, Current, Total # of RSVP and
attended for that Rep. Below is how I have started but I am having some
problems getting certain parts. I know when I get one the rest will fall into
place. I can calculate how many total customers by manager and by rep just by
doing a Countif command but how do I determine the # of New, Current etc. Is
there a If Than command? Managers Totals are simply his reps totals.
Example..
A B C D E
F G
1 Manager Rep Customer New Biz Current # RSVP # Actual Attend
Need totals to look something like this....
A B C D E
F G
1 # of Cust # New # Current #RSVP #
Actual Attend
2 Manager
3 Rep 1
4 Rep 2

I'm currently writing an automatic report to display information about a store and how it compares to its peers. My company works on a National>Region>Area>Store basis so my report lets a user select a store and the excel file brings back all the data for the relevant national, region and area data for comparison. That works fine.
I now want to develop a set of pages which display data for that store compared to other stores in the same area. For example: [URL]
My report brings back all the stores, ranks them by their performance against target and then puts them in a sorted table using vlookups. I then want to put them into the bar chart shown above, with the store selected highlighted with a different colour. In the example above, the Hunslet store is selected so its bar is highlighted.
Is there any way to make the store highlight automatic? I manually set the colours in the example but I don't want the user to have to do that each time. It would be possible to do using a macro, but I try and avoid them where I can since VBA knowledge is extremely limited in my office.
I have named ranges containing the names and lookup codes for the selected store, area and region .

I can automate chart creation in VBA, but is there any way to also have it such that the x-axis of the chart begins with the minimum x-value and ends with the maximum x-value in the data set?

I have a workbook, with 2 sheets. first page has graphs, second has data. in my charts I refer to a named range on the second one as follows: Data!Named_Range, where "Data" is the name of the second sheet. However when i save this, it changes the range of the chart to: '101044.xlsm'!Named_Range, where 101044 is the name of the workbook. This is a problem for me as this workbook will often be loaded into a document handling system where the file will change name, throwing out all sorts of errors because the chart path is invalid, and i have to change the range of all the charts manually. why does it have to use the file name when reffering inside the same workbook? and how do i force this to not change?

I'm currently building a excel workbook with charts that are feeding from Countif formulas, from a incident reporting sheet, now some of these items have "0" values and as a result are piling up making the charts look unsightly.
I know if I hide the rows with that data in them, it won't show up on the chart, the only problem is that this workbook will be going to about 8 countries, so I want this to be automated, is there any way for those 0 values to be excluded.
I have no experience with VBA, and only a little with macros

I have 3 charts on 3 seperate worksheets. The data for each is sourced from a list of up to 100 but only the top 20, or all if less than 20 in full list, are displayed on the chart. A seperate worksheet ("Calcs") is used to sort all the data so that just the top 20 are sourced for the charts and they are displayed in descending order from max to min and alphabetically in the case of 2 or more names having the same value.
I have attached one ot the charts.
I need the y axis scale to auto-adjust to suit the max and min series 1 values. I need the y axis maximum to be 5 more than the max series 1 value (unless the value is 5 or less when axis should be 10) and the min y axis to be 3 less than the min series 1 value (unless the value is 3 or less when the axis should be 0)
I have done the formulae to sort out these conditions and put the required y axis values in a cell which the copies across to the chart sheet with the required max in cell M1 and the min in cell L1. These values will change when another macro runs.
I searched this site for the code to auto-adjust the scales and found one which I have tried to edit to suit my needs. This is the code I have ended up with, placed within the worksheet containing the chart....

I have a macro that extracts data from a source workbook. The data is owerwritten every time that I use the macro. Now I have a graph that everytime I use the macro does not update with the new data, Is there a clever way to do that? The code for extracting from the workbook is the following:
Sub Extract()
Dim myFileName As Variant
Dim SourceWkbk As Workbook
Dim CurrentWkbk As Workbook
Dim testWks As Worksheet
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("CURRENCIES").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
myFileName = Application. GetOpenFilename("Excel files,*.xls")
If myFileName = False Then
Exit Sub 'user hit cancel
End If................

The trend Equation on a chart is of the form y= a+x.(b+c.x) I want to use that equation in a spreadsheet to calculate value of y for the value of x. I can do it manually by inserting the a+x.(b+c.x) in a cell but would like it to be automatic as the a, b, c in the Equation changes regularly as more data is acquired.

See attached file. I have managed to work out how to update a chart automatically when a new row of data is added. However is it possible to tweak the formulas I am currently using so that it will only include 12 months previous.
For example if you add Jan in to row 26 the chart will show Feb-Jan data (Row 15-26).

I have been trying to think of a way to get a hierarchy chart automatically with given data through macros
In the attached excel sheet
Org. Charts (hierarchy) question.xlsm
Would it be possible to get the chart to do by itself if say I were to add items or remove items? Is there any way to do it for data automatically?
I extract the data from primavera as attached and I want to make the chart in excel automatically.

I have created a pseudo Gantt chart in Excel (a horizontal stacked bar chart). The chart is driven off data I have in a Power Pivot model (Auto Refreshed) and the Gantt chart displays data which spans a fixed 12 hour time frame.
The problem I am having is that in order for me to get the chart to display correctly I must manually (daily) get the excel decimal values for my Minimum DateTime and Maximum DateTime and then enter those numbers into the "AXIS Options" Bounds Minimum and Maximum value fields. I would like to automate that process so that the Axis Bounds are either driven from the data cells OR are always set to a specific 12 hour window 6pm->6am daily.

I have attached a copy of the chart and data. My chart starts on the bottom. I had to take out a lot of data but beneath the data shown is much more data..
I want my chart to automatically update when new data is added. Here are the issues. I have several lines of headers and below that my data. Then below my data I have other data that I don't want displayed in the chart (its not shown here because of size limitation of attachmnet).
The new row will be added each time right below the header, right above the
most recent data given. So a row will be added above row 8!

I am trying to create a pivot chart that show the average response times in hour but for some reason my charts looks not right. The axis show a max of 1 but the graph itself showed us up to 17. I think easier to explain if I attached the worksheet.

I'm trying to loop through a worksheet where each row is an individual record. I need a macro to read the row and create a chart on a separate worksheet for that row, then move on until a chart has been created for each individual row. In English the problem is:
Read Row 1
Create chart based on row 1 data in new worksheet 1
Read Row 2
Create chart based on row 2 data in new worksheet 2
And so on

I have a table of data which moves up and down my report depending on user input changes to the source data.
I have written some VBA code to generate a chart based on this table of data. I have managed to create a basic chart from this table. However I need to change the series (on the chart) from rows to columns so that it is displayed correctly. For this I need to have the cell references within the code belonging to the actual chart.
If I was writing the code for the chart with an absolute reference I would write it as:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:= Sheets("Group").Range("B50:F53"), PlotBy:=xlColumns
This obviously works fine, however when a user makes a change to the source data the table is now out of sync with the chart references.
I am trying to write it as:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Group").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)), PlotBy:=xlColumns
Where am I going wrong?
My full code is as follows:
Private Sub CreateRegionChart()
Worksheets("group").ChartObjects.Item(2).Delete
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)).Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
'ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Group").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)), PlotBy _
:=xlColumns
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Group"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Title"
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Label"
End With

How to make sure that every workbook I create has the option of "backing up before saving" turned-on? I need a Excel-wide option, i.e. one that applies to all workbooks created, The known to me facility of turning the option on every time I create a workbook is not satisfactory because often I forget to turn the option on when creating a new book -- and I create many.

I have a pie chart on a pre-defined table with 15 categories where the data will populate over time (presently only 3 are populated) in descending order. As some categories will be blank/zero for a while, I'm trying to find a way to avoid showing the blanks/zeros on the pie chart. As I am trying to display the legend on the pie chart segment, any zeros cause the remaining labels to appear grouped together and rather messy. I would therefore like to hide the zero data from the pie chart so the labels do not appear, or to automatically extend the range to only include all non-zero values.
I found the following formula which, when used as a named range, automatically extends a list for data validation:
[Code] ....
I don't know whether there's a similar formula or whether a few lines of VBA are required to run whenever the chart or data worksheet are selected..?
