Category X Axis Labels On Scatter Graph
Apr 4, 2007
I have a set of data which I need to plot both unordered and ranked.
For the unordered (as is) data, a line graph is fine, as it gives the category labels along the x axis.
For the ordered data, i have a row with the ranking in, and then plot an xy scatter graph, so the values increase.
This obviously has the rank numbers along the x axis, not the corresponding category labels.
Is there anyway to force this? I know there are chart labelling add-ins on here, but our IT dept blocks the download.
The attched file is a very small example.

Has anyone ever succeeded in offsetting category labels in a chart by surpressing the first category label. I am plotting monthly financial data over several years and want to show category labels for the month ends which coincide with quarterly month ends (i.e Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Dec-06). If I select 2 tick marks between categories I get Jan-06, Apr-06, Jul-06, Oct-6) because my first month and category label is Jan-06. Is there a way to offset displaying the first category label by two tick marks and start with Mar-06 and then go every two tick marks between category labels?

I would like to graph the data shown below using a scatter graph. However, when I use the cart wizard it assigns numerical values to each data point and then plots the data accordingly. How can I get the scatter graph to group the assets with the same ratings together? Note, I don't want to have to assign values to assets with the same rating each time. I have attached the spreadsheet so you an see the problem.

I am having a problem formatting a chart in Excel 2010. My chart has multi-level category axis labels, and I would like to have a vertical grid line separating each major group of categories. In Excel 2003, I could right-click on one of the gridlines and then specify the spacing I wanted between gridlines. In Excel 2010, as soon as I indicate that I want multi-level category axis labels, I get a vertical gridline between each category and I am unable to alter the spacing. If I deselect the multi-level axis label option, I can adjust the spacing between the vertical gridlines, but the axis multi-level label functionality is lost. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to using the drawing tools or text boxes to achieve the desired results.

I've put together code to construct a chart
It all works fine but I've noticed an odd quirk which I can't explain nor can I seem to fix. Here's the (reduced) code :
Code:
Dim appExcel As Object ' Excel Application
Dim chtPareto As Object ' Chart
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set chtPareto = appExcel.Charts.Add
With chtPareto
' Primary category axis
[code]....
The category (x) axis title should be horizontal, whereas the value (y) axis title should be rotated. Stepping through the code, when I .SetElement for the category axis title, it appears horizontal as planned. However, as soon as I .SetElement for the rotated value axis title, the category axis title also rotates.

how to incorporate another category and value axis to my existing chart.
1. I need to add a rank axis derived from my data column (C6-C15). This column should rank from highest to lowest and create a tie if any number is repeated. I have arranged the rank column in cells B38:L38 as they would appear. I would like this to appear on the top or bottom of the bar graphs.
2. Second I need to add the frequency of hits which = 3 derived from cell J1 This should appear on the chart were it is currently titled. This should create another bar graph colored green and labeled 3.
3. Lastly the numbers axis can remain the same as it appears on the chart or if it would be better to align as shown in cells B43:L43.

I would like to make a scatter graph that will graph the attached. The score would be on the Y axis and the birth date would be on the X axis. This is simple to do by itself but what I would like to do in addition to this is to have the top 25% of the scores a single color, the middle 50% of the scores a second color and then the bottom 25% of the scores to be a third color. And if it is possible to have the ID visible when you move your cursor over a given dot in the graph. Currently when I make a scatter graph the X,Y coordinates show when I hoover the cursor over a dot.

I need to create a graph with a 2 x axis and a single y axis. For example:
Pressure ( PSIA) Solubility (mol %) Velocity (m/s)
200 0.024 1
300 0.036 1.2
400 0.041 1.8
I need the two x axis to be pressure and solubility and the y axis to be velocity, with the data being demonstrated by a single plot (I have only managed it with two plots which does not demonstrate solubility's relationship to pressure ).
For example at a pressure of 200 PSIA (lower x-axis) and solubility of 0.024 mol % (upper x-axis) velocity was found to be 1 m/s.

I need to label points on an XY scatter plot with a different set of label points than those provided by simply assigning data labels (don't need series name or x and/or y values displayed but an additional field of data). I can't use an add in (work machine) and would like to do this without using macros.
The project has 4 fields
A B C D
plot# type x y
I need to label the XY points for each series (type) by their plot #. The attached image/file shows what I'm looking for (added plot # labels manually for sake of display, in reality there are >2000 plots so I cant do it manually.

I am creating a pie graph. This graph contains % of business areas which meet certain criteria. Some business areas meet 0%.
I dont want to see those that are 0%,
I know I can go to number format and use this custom format: 0%;;;
This gets rid of the 0's
However, it does not get rid of the Business area category name.
How do I remove both data label and category name?
I only want to show those values greater than 0%

I am attaching the Excel File along with this mail. In chart there is data points have been mentioned in scatter plot like (38,15 etc) Instead of these points I want the names that I have mentioned in column A2:A9. I used to make lots of charts related to this and it is very diffilcult for me to manually punch all these names and most importantly the thing is that I cant download the software available on http://www.appspro.com due to some issues can you give me the VBA code for this which will automatically paste these names only I have to change is the data range and its very urgent................ASAP

What I'm aiming to be able to do is have a scatter plot that displays date labels for each point as well as distinguish the points by year by using different colors. I found a VBA code for scatter plot date labels and I also realize that (for me at least), the easiest way to distinguish the years by color would be to separate them with a logical statement and let the chart do the rest of the work by categorizing them as separate data ranges. However, I tried to do this with the VBA code that I found and it expectedly did not work. I'm not sure if it's an easy fix to just add more "xvalues" columns in the code or if what I want to do here is even possible.
Format and Code for the Date Labels:
Date Time
Rainfall (mm)
24 hr RDII Volume (L/ha/day)
[Code].....

I've got two columns of information plotted against one another in an x,y scatter. I need the x-axis to reflect each of the 42 numbers I've added in the column and not a preset or fixed range of numbers. (I need to see the actual number that I assigned each x-plot point on the x-axis and not on the plot point itself).

I'm using Excel 2008 for Mac & cannot figure out how to add a data label to an XY scatter plot that comes from a 3rd, separate column.
I have 3 columns of data: (A,B,C)
Labels, X values, Y values
When I select the Data Source for the Chart, there is a greyed out box for Category X axis labels, which is where I remember such information going in PC versions of Excel I used to use.
From the formatting palette, the only options to select for labels add the values of column B, but I need the reference from column A.
I'm not familiar with macros or visual basic. How to add these labels? This is Mac, Excel 2008.

I'm building a chart wich displays data for each month and there are 3 phases that are defined by month and included in the chart. I've managed to show both of the category series, but I'd need to change the order in which the labels are displays. Now I have the axis in the following form:
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
I need it in the following form:
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4

With a scatter chart, you can use the following vba to set maximum and minimum category values on a scatter chart. Is the same possible for a line chart and if so, how?
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory)
If Range("S6").Value "" Then .MinimumScale = Range("S6").Value
If Range("S7").Value "" Then .MaximumScale = Range("S7").Value

Attached is a chart I am trying to create. So basically, I originally used a line chart but it didn't have the flexibility of the scatter chart, but i am having a very hard time formatting the X axis. First of all - I would like the line in the middle at the 0% point to actually go to the bottom so that the x axis labels aren't in the middle of the graph. Second the x axis labels aren't showing up correctly. They should be quarters: 1Q:02, 2Q:02, 3Q:02, 4Q:02... Finally, how can I show the correlation between these two data points plotted - the R-squared. THANKS!!! Auto Merged Post;I actually was able to figure out most of what I asked. What is remaining: how do I calculate the R-Squared on the chart? Isn't there a way to do it automatically in excel on the chart.

I do not seem to be able to consistently control word wrapping in the Category Axis area in the series of charts I create quarterly. The individual names appearing are basically the same, but sometimes they word wrap and sometime they don't. In the attached sample, sheet C2-Location: PPO chart is just the way it needs to be - NO WORD WRAP. But if you change that chart to another location it word wraps. (To change locations, go to sheet D2 which controls sheet C2 chart, and change the location to SGO.) It appears that the less bars in the chart the greater the problem.
I have spent 2 1/2 hrs trying to get in control of this. I have changed font sizes, changed the plot area, changed the grid lines scale, changed the cell size on the originating sheet (D2), removed the check mark in Auto Scale on the Font tab, and stretched/reduced the entire chart without consistent success. What is most frustrating is that twice I have "accidently" gotten a chart to all of a sudden not word wrap but don't know why because when I try to repeat what I think I did before, it does not work!
Additionally, at times it may appear correct on the screen, but when I do Print Preview, it is word wrapped! I have searched multiple sites and googled multiple Excel solutions as well as pulled out some books but cannot find any references regarding how to control this.

We have a special testing machine in the lab I work in, and it measures reflectivity from reflective vests etc. A special instrument takes a reflective reading and reports back a X and Y value which is used then as a co-ordinate and gets plotted on a graph.
The machine measures for 8 colours, and takes four readings, so for example the first color will be Flourescent Yellow. and then it produces 4 "X,Y" readings, which get plotted onto a graph, and joins all 4 points to create a box as shown in the link >> Graph with joined plots
This is a small capture of the spreadsheet with the values >> spreadsheet
Basically, I need to know how to take the values in columns X and Y, and then make it plot onto a graph as one point, and then join the four points for that one colour,
end result being the grapgh will have upto 8 boxes on it.

I am supposed to make an xy scatter graph like the one drawn of paper. The average point need to have a "cross" around it. So far I can just plot the points. I have added the average point as secondary series. I just need to put the "+ sign or cross around" it.

I have the following data points:
A
B
1
X
Y
2
0.18
0.52
[Code] ......
And can create a scatter diagram fine. However, I've been asked if it's possible to show on the graph, for each point a line to it's respective X and Y co-ordinate. For example, for row 4 (in red), on the same scatter graph, I'd like there to be two lines for this point,
Line1 drawn from (0.1, 0) to (0.1, 0.26) and
Line2 drawn from (0,0.26) to (0.1,0.26)
I know it's possible to overlap graphs in Excel, but I can't find how to achieve this with scatter plots

Right now I have this:
Screen Shot 2013-11-29 at 1.02.47 PM.jpg
How can I put another label under each bar (NOT outside end or inside end or any additional label. This is an actual label? For example, under the first blue bar labeled 56.7%, I also want to put N = 50 below the X-axis, above "Optimal." I also want to put N = 25 for the red bar immediately next to it labeled at 75.7%.
This is not a label, as it is below the X-axis.
An example of this can be found here (scroll down for second chart)
