Change Order Of Chart Legend Freely
Sep 25, 2007
see this example of a chart: see Image1.gif (the right thumbnail) as you can see 2 different types of graphs are combined: "lines with markers" and "clustered column".
in the legend one can see that the order inside the legend is clustered by the two types. within a type i can change the order easily (right click on a line or column - format data series - series order - up or down).
question: i would like to change the order freely. how to do this? for the order inside the legend i actually do not care at all, whether a representation of the data is a line or a column. i only want to make it as readable as possible. example what i'd like to get (made by handmodifing the picture with a drawing program): see Image3.gif (the left thumbnail)

I have a chart that combines 2 xy plots and a set of stacked columns ( total of 4 series).
I can adjust the series ordering between the 2 xy plots, and between the stacked columns, but not for all 4 at the same time.
I'd like the legend to show up as:
Series1, Series2, Series3, Series4
where 1 and 2 are the xy plots and 3 & 4 are the components of the stacked columns.
It is currently:
Series3, Series4, Series1, Series2
Any idea how to re-order the legend entries?

The order of entries in my chart legend make no sense to me. Why is it not matching the order of the source data?

For Instance i might have a cell with the value 30KDPA
the one right below this needs to be 30KDPB
then 30KDPC
basically the last letter is going through the alphabetical order. Once it hits Z it should go to AA, AB, AC . Just like an excel file.
If i select the first cell and just drag it down it copies that exact same cell value.

I have a bar graph with 2 series of data. Anyone knows how I can specify the order in which they appear? code looks similar to the following. The bar graph shows the second series before the first series. How do I reverse the order?
With cht
.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
' first data series
Set ser = .SeriesCollection.NewSeries
With ser
.Values = someValues
.XValues = someValues
End With
' second data series
Set ser = .SeriesCollection.NewSeries
With ser
.Values = someValues
.XValues = someValues
End With

I am creating a chart where the number of data series used on the chart will change every time the code runs depending on what information people are looking for. That part works fine. I need a legend that shows which data series were added to the chart. Is there a way to get a dynamic legend on the chart that matches the data series, without manually adding it?

I want to include a legend to a bubble chart in the folowing format: the smallest bubble in this legend should represent values between A and B, the second (somewhat bigger bubble) should represent values between B and C,and so on. Is it possible to produce a standard legend in a bubble chart?

I have a chart graphing different series, which includes a legend to label each series. The labels are linked to particular cells in the worksheet.
Most of the chart has Arial font formatting, but I need to change the formatting of a few characters in the legend:
I know that i can change the formatting of the whole legend, and even different entries in the legend. Is it possible to change the font of just a couple of characters in one legend entry?
Elements I need to change are:
Font type (eg from arial to symbol)
Size (varying from 8 to 14)
Bolding etc.

I have 10 graphs with more than 20 legend entries. However, each graph only needs 3-4 elements out of the 20 legend entries in the graph. Is there any way to force Excel to only show those legend entries that have a value? (without deleting them manually)

I have a chart with 20 series labels that are series 1, series 2.... etc. I want to label them with 20 corresponding cells but can't find how to do this in Excel 2010 (I seem to remember this being easy to do in older versions). At the moment I am having to click on source data and edit each label individually... Is there a quicker way?

I have charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use chartobjects(i).plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that.
Unfortunately when I set these values they still change and get antoher value, there is some scaling going on in Excel and I do not know where that comes from. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned.
De data for resizing the charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.
I show you my code, the part with the for-next is taken from the internet.
With ChtNew.legend
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.Legend.Height
.Left = ChtOrig.Legend.Left
.Width = ChtOrig.Legend.Width '* 1.1
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top + ChtOrig.ChartTitle.Top
End With

I need to create many XY charts in a VBA macro. For each chart, I need to select a particular column for the X dimension, and a particular column for the Y dimension. When I use a named range to define the X and Y columns, my macro works fine for those instances when the X comes first. However, if my desired Y dimension comes first, I cannot find a way to correctly select these.
The context is such that my spreadsheet always has the same data fields in the same columns, but the numbers of rows vary. In addition, I need to dynamically select which rows to use, based on the values in the columns to be plotted. I’ve figured out how to do this within the macro, except for those instances when the Y column comes before the X. An example when this works:
' X-Y chart, Field10 vs. Field12
Sheets("Raw").Select
Names.Add Name:="newRange", RefersTo:="=$K13" & ":" & "$K" & FirstBias _
& ",$M13" & ":" & "$M" & FirstBias, Visible:=True Range("K1").Activate
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterLines
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Raw").Range("newRange"), PlotBy:=xlColumns
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsNewSheet, Name:="Field10vsField12"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Field10 vs. Field12"
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Field10"
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Field12"
End With
ActiveChart.HasLegend = False
In the above example, variable ‘FirstBias’ is computed previously in the macro. I realize that I can rearrange columns in my spreadsheet to avoid this, but that is much less convenient, and less elegant, and I think there must be a way for a macro to do this automatically. I can do it interactively by cutting and pasting the data ranges in the chart wizard dialog, but I need this to be automated. I also figured out how to automate it in the case where the X and Y columns have fixed rows, by adding the commands below:....................

I have plenty of experience with VBA outside of charts so that's where I need assistance. I need to get SeriesCollection(4), the PTAI series, to appear on the area chart second from the bottom instead of on the top.
The order for the non-line series should be, from top to bottom:
SeriesCollection(3) - Non-Mission AC ( Training, T&E, AMarc series)
SeriesCollection(2) - Total Pipeline series
SeriesCollection(4) - PTAI series
SeriesCollection(1) - Available PMAI series
Here's the
Sub MakeSandChart()
Dim ChartSource As Range
Dim ChartName As String
Dim ChartSheet As String
Dim yCount As Integer
Dim PAA_Value As Integer
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
passtype = Mid(ActiveSheet.Name, 5, 1)
Set ws = Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name)
ChartName = Left(ActiveSheet.Name, 5)
ChartSheet = ChartName & " Chart"
ChartName = "F18" & passtype
Set ChartSource = Union(Range("SummRowDate" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowTAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowNM" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowTotPipe" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPTAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPMAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPlanPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowWorkPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowDrillPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowBaseline" & passtype))
Worksheets(ChartSheet).Activate

I am trying to compare the frequency of occurrence of multiple unique values within a data set and graph the results as a pareto. I have the formulas working to identify and count the occurrences, and the chart is designed and displaying the data, however I cannot get the graph to display in descending order.
I am unable to sort the data because it is generated from a series of formulas, the returned values of which cannot be sorted. (its hard to describe, see the attached workbook)
I would like to know how I can display the graph so that it shows the bars (primary axis) in descending order (highest value to left, lowest to right) since I cannot sort the data. i.e. For the attached workbook, I want the bars to display in descending number of occurrences: 81,15,5,5,3,3,2,2.

I want to use a macro to change attributes of a series in a chart. Unbelievably, if the series has been pasted into the chart from another chart, and although the macro can address the series and even return values (eg name) correctly, the selection simply cycles to one of the original series on the chart.

Is it possible to do a custom sort on a column so that I can change the order the way the months are sorted. The order I'm looking for is:
October
November
December
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
Also the format for the cells in that column is 01-Jan, I don't want to see the year because I enter and sort the date as if the year doesn't matter so it automatically registers as 2014, if that makes sense. Basically I want that order of the months regardless of the year.

I have my Windows settings set up so that each file that I have open in Excel appear separately in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. So for example, if I have 2 Excel files open, Excel appears in my taskbar twice instead of being grouped together.
I like to use this set up so that I know which file to click on when I'm working between multiple files. The problem is that on occasion, they will get out of order.
So let's say I have file A on the left and file B on the right. Then I save file A. After saving file A, now file B appears on the left and file A appears on the right. This also sometimes happens if I open a 3rd file.
Why does this happen and is there any way to prevent it?
