Automatically Updating Chart With Changing Inputs In VBA?
Feb 12, 2013
VBA code that would update a chart automatically as you change the inputs which are located in cells in excel. The inputs are located in cells B5:B9 and i want a code so that as you change these numbers the chart would automatically update.
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?
Now I would like to keep value of A3 in cell A7 every time I change input values in A1 and A2 and so on.
A1 = 15 A2 = 8 A3 = 15+8 = 23 A7 = 12
And when an input in A3 > 100, it will popup a message, that a total cannot over 100. My code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row = 1 And Target.Column = 3 Then
Range("A7").Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove Range("A3").Value = Range("A7").Value Exit Sub Else If Range("A3").Value > 100 Then MsgBox "Total exceed 100. Check you inputs!" End If End Sub
I'm trying to take 5 inputs that are all in text format and inputs have fixed options what i need is a macro that will take them and turn them in to the relevant outputs. there is a select amount of combinations and i've been asked to do each combination as a separate macro or sub macro.
What I have so far is;
If C6 = "Panel plate" And D6 = "24 by 21" And E6 = "<1.59" And F6 = "N/A " Then I6 = "120" And j6 = "4" And L6 = "120" End Sub
A B C D E F G H I J K L 1 2 4 5 6 Panel plate 24 by 21 <1.59 N/A 7 8 9 10
(Doesn't seem to work)...
If those four cell match up then i need I6-L6 to line up with whats required. If they don't equal that i need it to stay clear.
I also need to add the same macro with different options.
I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
I have a cell in sheet1 (say, B2) in which I can key a date. Once I change that date, cell C10 updates (after I hit F9 to recalculate) with a new number based on the new date.
I have a list of dates on another sheet, from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2013, all in column B. I want to produce VBA code that will run through each day, 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2009, in sheet1 cell B2 and take the output in C10 and place it next to each day in column B until it reaches the end (12/31/2013). I know this is possible but for some reason am having trouble coming up with the right looping mechanism.
You can imagine if I had to manually key in each day to get the desired output how tedious that would be.
I am using Microsoft Excel 2003. There are several charts in the worksheet and the ranges for the series in the charts are defined by named ranges, e.g.:
Values: =FirstNamedRange
where FirstNamedRange is defined as Sheet1!A2:A100.
The values in FirstNamedRange are themselves calculated from other inputs. The problem is that when I recalculate the sheet, changing the values of FirstNamedRange, there are times when the chart does not change.
This happens sporadically. 9 times out of 10 both the values in the range and the chart change. At other times, the values in the range change and the chart doesn't reflect this. If I save the file, close and then reopen, (thus forcing the chart to recalculate?) then the chart looks correct.
I have a raw_data sheet with a list that is linked through Insert> Name>Define. This list is used for Validation Data List drop down menus in other sheets. I would like to update a list element in my raw_data sheet and have the corresponding element in other sheets also update. Is this possible or is there another way to do this?
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:
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.
I have a chart that display data from a dynamic named range. Problem is the chart only displays the correct data when I first input the named range into the data source on the first attempt. When the dynamics of the named range change, the range the chart displays remains the same. I have read another post on here where someone had the solution, but I couldnt get it to work for me.
I am inputting the named range into Data Source-> Data Range. The other thread said to put the named range into Data Source-> Series. I am unable to enter my named range into Series. I have also tried putting the .xls filename followed by !(named range) into the series boxes but excel will not allow me to do this either.
Why a formula would not automatically update? Possible problem is in relation to "<=" component of formulas'.
NOTE: This is not in relation to calculations option being set to 'Manual'.
This problem only effect two cells on my entire workbook and all other cells within the column affected, with the exact same formula, work fine.
The "<=" part of the formula is in relation to a drop down list with values from 1 to 12 and the formula works fine initially when flicking between the dropdown list numbers. But if I save the workbook on dropdown list number 2, the formula no longer works...
I have a long list of sedols and wish to download the last price for each on a limited range of dates (30 dates, hundreds of sedols). So I built my excel file to have the sedol running down a column and dates across the top, with the function:
the cells are not updating automatically, even when I hit refresh.. the only way is to go into each cell and hit enter (not practical!).
The next problem is that it adds something like ("cols=1;rows=2") to the end of the function and copies down further than I want.
Is it the case that the Bloomberg functions just can't handle having the dates across the top and security identifiers down the side - or is there some work around?
I am trying to update 25 different spreadsheets, and have the latest row of data from each of the 25 automatically go to a 26th spreadsheet that is my summary.
My goal is anytime I add a new row of data in any of the 25, that the summary sheet gets updated automatically.
I am going to try to be as detailed as I can here:
I have been manually inputting the most recent "paid to date" field from one sheet to another within the same workbook.
There are about 20 different payment schedules for each deal. Each of these has their own sheet, and we will call this the "Deal" sheet. Some deals are paid based on a monthly schedule, some are quarterly, and others are annual.
I want to have a macro that will paste the most recent "Due date" based on a zero value in the "Remng Payment" column. For this example, the most recent "Due Date" should be 12/31/08 because that is the most recent zero value.
I want to past this value in another worksheet that contains a report for all 20 deals. Lets call this the "Reports" worksheet. Each of these dates individual deals needs to be applied to its respective row on the "Reports" worksheet in a "Paid to Date column.
I have a worksheet containing 16 chart objects. The source data for each of these charts is located on various other worksheets (all within the one workbook however). Whenever I change data on my Data Input worksheet, the source data is correctly being recalculated, however, the associated charts aren't changing.
The only two ways I can get the charts to update are: (1) save and re-open the file (saving doesn't fix it but re-opeing the file appears to do a full recalculation which then correctly updates the charts); or (2) click on each of the charts individually, go to Source Data and re-accept the data range that is already in there.
I've used the following VBA on my Data Input worksheet to try to do a full spreadsheet recalculation every time I deactivate it but this doesn't solve the problem either.
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate() Application.CalculateFullRebuild End Sub
I've also tried CalculateFull and just Calculate in the VBA but to no avail.
My calculation is set to automatic.
I don't know if its relevant or not but this spreadsheet uses a custom worksheet function to derive some of the source data. I've never come across this problem before. Does anyone have any ideas on why its doing this and more importantly how to fix it?
I have a number of charts (mostly pie) I don't have a legend, but I do have "Show label and percent" selected.
When I add in new data the actual chart updates to show the right sized pie slices... but the values on the labels don't update as well. I can't figure out how to make that happen?
setting the dates so that they update by 30 days once they have passed.
For example I need a cell that has an upcoming date to add 30 days to it once it has reached the upcoming date, so it is April 4th today, and I need it to change a cell that reads 'April 14th' to 'May 14th' once it is April 14th.
I currently have three worksheets and I'm trying to keep the data the identical throughout all three worksheets in cells B6-B9. I need to automatically update the same cell on the other two pages with the data from the edited one. Meaning if cell B7 is updated on sheet 2, that same data would be updated in cell B7 in the other two sheets, or if cell B9 is updated on sheet 3, that cells B9 on sheets one and two would have that same data.
I have tabs ranging from RA to DW Also a summary sheet. As of now i have manually copied data from each tab onto summary sheet Is there a way to automate the summary sheet so that when i enter data in each tab it gets updated automatically in summary sheet as well
Flexibility needed is:
If row is added in any sheet from RA to DW then the same should be created in summary IF a resource is added in any tab then the same should be added in Summary. Similary for delete too
Overall i should be able to update summary automatically when i update the tabs.
I have the following workbook (attached) and it is in various states of disarray but I have two questions concerning it;
First, there are three ComboBoxes that need to be linked to each other in the form. When I say this, I mean that depending on the user, it will be easier for them to enter the property name, versus the property number or AFE number or visa versa. Is there an easy way to have it so that when any of the three boxes (WELL NAME OR YARD, PROPERTY NUMBER, or AFE NUMBER) are selected, the other two populate with the corresponding data?
Second, there is a tab to enter new property details (the tab is not finished) as additional wells go on line. I can get it to the point where the input data will appear on the bottom of the PROPERTY DATA sheet. However, how can I create a dynamic range that will include this new information in the corresponding ComboBoxes on the first sheet automatically? Or, if there is a better way then a dynamic range to accomplish this, I would love to hear that too.
I have several tabs (worksheets) representing purchases for a specific year. There is one tab (worksheet) that is a Summary of all purchases for all years. How do I get Excel to automatically update the Summary worksheet anytime one of the other worksheets are modified?
My links are not automatically updating on my worksheets. I was recently working on a sheet that linked to a different sheet in the same workbook. I deleted some cells by dragging other cells onto them, but when I went to the sheet that was linked to this sheet, the old information remained. When I clicked the cells that should have said "#Ref", they said =Sheet1!#REf but still had the old information showing until after I hit F9.
I'm using this to update a range of cells after an automatic copy and paste procedure;
Code: Sub UpdateBtoW() On Error GoTo HandleError Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Sheet74.Activate Dim cell As Range For Each cell In Range("B1:B50000") If Not IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then If cell.Offset(0, 14).Value = "" Then
[code].....
What it is supposed to do is look in column B and find any non-blank cells. If it finds one, it should check the following and update column W as necessary;
1) Column B shows 1, column P is not empty, column W is empty - UPDATE COLUMN W WITH 'Letter 1'
2) Column B shows 2, column P is not empty, column W is empty - UPDATE COLUMN W WITH 'Letter 2'
3) Column B shows any value, (not blank), column P is empty, column W is empty - UPDATE COLUMN W WITH 'N/A'
The issue is that it is updating the cells as required, but it then goes on to fill the entire sheet with 44819 in every single cell.
I have one work sheet (worksheet #1) that everyone in the company uses. With this worksheet they submit orders to my department.
When I receive it (worksheet #1) I have a macro built in so that all i have to do is click a button and the sheet get's logged onto a certain workbook (workbook #1) on the appropriated tabbed sheet.
On my log workbook (workbook #1) I have two tabed sheets "2005" and "2007", and all of the worksheet#1's go to the next line on "2007"
On occasion a sales person will open up an old worksheet and the macro will log it onto "2005".
I want to create a macro for (workbook #1) that goes something like this:
If any files attempt to write to sheet "2005" do not allow or (False) move line item to sheet "2007" to the next open line.
I have a range of 9 cells located in A2 to A10. The name of this range should be whatever the text in cell A1 is.
The Problem is that the content of cell A1 can change since it is reflecting the content of another cell on a different sheet.
My probelm is that once i define the range to be named according A1 it will keep that name, even if the content of A1 changes.
How can i program in VBA that the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 always is whatever isthe text in A1 is? If Aq changes the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 should change as well; Plus the old name should be deleted.
I think it might work with some event trigger and then a automatic naming of a range. I tried a few things but nothing really worked. (not very exeprianced vit VBA)
I would like to make my stock sheet able to copy entres to another sheet within the same work book. (avoiding using VB as I can't do that)
If data is entered in sheet2, it is automatically copied onto sheet1.
The reason is that each storage device will have its own sheet and all entries will automatically be copied to the master sheet. This will make things easy for the people who need to use this system for updating and seaching it.
I have seen a similare problem that seems much more complex here @ Copy Data From Multiple Closed Spreadsheets
I'm using a heavy excel file and I have linked some cells in one sheet to other worksheets in the same file. My problem is that when I change the value in some cells they do not change in the other cells linked to the ones I have modified.
