Changing Chart Series Colours In VBA
Jan 21, 2010
I have a spreadsheet which reports across different categories, but there's a lot of info. So simplify this, I've written a simple macro that changes the series range in an existing chart, so top level and by category. This works well apart from I'm using excel 2007, and some people aren't, so the default colours look fine on my version, but change to some awful colours on anyone with an earlier version of excel. I need a way of changing the colours to standard ones depending on which macro is being run.
I have tried running the following, but I get an error, basically saying the series hasn't been selected.
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Select
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)

I am creating a timeline using a stacked bar graph. The 3 colums in the source spreadsheet are title,start time and duration. The Two data series are start time and duration. I hide the start time series to give me timelines for each row in the spreadsheet. This works fine. What I'd like to do is to group the rows by title and distinguish by colour in the duration series but this doesn;t seem possible? I hope I've made myself clear.

I would like to change the colour of a userform both the background colour and the font colour. However, in the colour property box I am met with &H00C0C0C0& (which is Grey). I can select some other colours but not the one I would like to use.
I have tried inserting RGB(194,214,154) however I get the error 'Invaild proprty value'

i am creating a spreadsheet to account for work being done on a team. At the moment the sheet adds up the average time that the whole team is taking to do a task,and it also adds up the time each person is taking.
so for instance: KL take 100 minutes to do the task. but the average time across the team is 90 minutes per task.
i have my list of staff with their times in column E. so what i want is if their time is higher than the average then the box turns red, if it is lower then green etc.
(the average figure is got by summing everyones totals in box B22.

I have a conditional formula which populates a string depending on the value selected by user.
E.G of formula is:- =IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON - MANDATORY",""))
Where the result is "CONTACT PERSON - MANDATORY" then I want the word MANDATORY (not the whole string) to be displayed in RED.

I have a conditional formula which gives a value based on what the User specifies.
Example of formula is:
=IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY",""))
If the result of the string is " CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY " then
- word MANDATORY (not the whole string) should be in RED
- words (FINANCE ONLY) should be in BLUE
- remaining string should be left in BLANK
Not intending to use VBA. Is this possible?

I run a large simulation experiment. I have a loop plotting data in excel of a user defined area. Because of the limit of 255 series I have allowed a maximum of 250 simulations (they all need to be plotted). But the length of each simulation is free. I know there is a limit of 32.000 data points in a graph and I have this as a condition too.
If I set the data range to 100 columns and 3000 rows the graph is produced when I plot by columns. (code below)
But if I set the data range to 250 columns and 1000 rows I get the above mentioned error message. Even though I only have 250 series.
After the data is plotted it is the code below that gets the error:

I have the following code:
Sub Macro5()
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 243").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 243").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Delete
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Delete
End Sub
However, if there is no SereisCollection(1) actually present in the chart I get an error. How can I work around this? I will need an IF statement I assume, just not sure what it will look like.

I just recently installed Excel 2007 and I would like to know if it's possible to change all data points of a chart at the same time. In Excel 2003, I would normally hold down shift while clicking on each of the data points to make a global change. However, it appears I cannot do that in 2007.
I would like to display each data point's series name. When I go to Layout on the Excel Ribbon, and click on "Data Labels", and click on "More Data Label Options", the actual Y-axis values are shown for each data point. However, I do not want this - I actually only want the Series Name, but when I uncheck "Value" and check "Series Name" instead (under "Label Contains"), it only changes it for one of the series. Is there a better way, instead of going through each and every single series to make this change?

The following code is supposed to produce six series on an xlXYScatter chart. It produces seven with the seventh series being a repeat of the sixth but named series 7.
Sub Chart2()
Dim DataRange As Range
Dim CellString As String 'Stores a cell range in the form "AA27:AB39"
Dim CurrentSeries As Integer
Dim SeasonCount As Integer
Worksheets("Hemisphere").ChartObjects(2).Activate
CurrentSeries = 1 ............

I have a list of data on one sheet and a 'reports' page on another sheet. The reports page has several pivot tables and a pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to format the bars on the chart relevant to the series name. The series names are "R" "A" amd "G" for Red Amber and Green respectively, I want the chart to change the colour of the series so that it is the correct colour ie. "R" would be coloured Red, "A" would be Amber and "G" would be green.
Sub PivotLoader()
Dim Red As Integer
Dim Amber As Integer
Dim Green As Integer
Red = Range("H9").Value
Amber = Range("H10").Value
Green = Range("H11").Value
Range("B8").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotCache.Refresh
Range("D25").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("B49").Select...........................

I have a very simple pie chart, no 3D angles, no shading, no tilting, no exploding (i.e. exploded view).
In fact it is so simple, it is just 2 sections.
I want one section to be GREEN, and the other section to be RED
Green is good, Red is bad, of course, just like traffic lights.
So, how do I get these colours to be green/red. Not worried about which data series (of 2) is a particular colour, I can swop these easily.

I would like to have two series of data using the same X axis (date, formatted in months). The Y axis is in intervals of 100,000.
The first data series is historical (actual) data (i.e. Jan 2009 to August 2011). The second data series is forecast (Sept 2011 - August 2012). So i want the forecast series to start immediately after the historical series. It is a 'line with markers' chart. The key objective is that the forecast data looks visually distinct from the historial series.
Excel version: Excel 2010
OS: Windows 7

I have a chart with 3 data series. The series are located in columns A, B and C respectively. Series I is a general number anywhere from 0 to 100,000. Series 2 is also a number, but is is devided by series 1. So, if series 1 was 100,000 then series two would be 25,000/100,000 which is 0.25. Series three will always be numerator of series 2 or 25,000 in this example. The numerator, or the 25,000 will never change, so, in my example, series three will be a straight line across the chart because it is always 25,000.
In my example, the .25 is plotted on the left value axes, and series one is plotted on the right value acccess (secondary axis). Series three is just a line in the middle.
My problem is that sometimes the line, series 3, doesn't match the values in both the right and left values axes. So, if series one is 48,000, then series two would be 48,000/48,000 = 1, and series three would be 48000 - the straight line. The third series should be a line touching the 48,000 on the right and the number 1 on the left. It does touch the 48000 on the left, but is below the number 1 on the left.

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.

What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.

The idea came about after wanting to show a 'gold' 'silver' and 'bronze' background colour, but having to plump for yellow, grey and orange looked a little crap :f
If not, can a workaround be created by using code and a picture or 2?

i have a chart on a worksheet, it contains multiple series (3) in which i wish to change the values/ range of each series of the chart through vba. Thus far i have struggled due to the lack of intellisense, in which i tried
Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(2).Chart.Series("Fails").Values = Range("b12:b14")
with "Fails" being the name of that particular series.

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:
VB: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
However, I was hoping to replace it with something like this:
VB: Sheets("Dashboard").ChartObjects("Chart 1").SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
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'm trying to change 115 charts so that the Xvalue axes (Y-axes) will start on the lowest value of my data series. This is what I've come up with so far:

What is the syntax to set instead of X so that all Xvalue axes is set to the lowest Data series value in individual chart?

I have a series of numbers in one column. Is there some way I can divide all the numbers together by, say 10, without doing it manually?
eg.
12
15
15
25
20
should become
1.2
1.5
1.5
2.5
2.0
Is there a way in Excel to do that?

I'm trying to change the default option for the data series when graphing in Excel 2003 .... I am trying to create a line graph
Excel, by default, is putting static pressure on the x axis and the air flow on the y axis .... I need it to be the other way around
I have found out that:
By default, Excel plots whatever you have fewer of—rows or columns—as the data series
apparently it is possible to change this Excel default option, but I can't figure that out
in step 2 of the Chart Wizard, I have tried many different things, but can't get Excel to chart the Air Flow CFM on the x axis, and have static pressure values on the y axis

I'm attempting to create a dynamically built donut chart using VBA, but I'm having trouble inserting a variable to be used as one of the values.
The chart graphs 3 data points:
ASC GP - Located in cell T4
ACC GP - Located in cell AE4
ACT GP - variable called LocSumActGP
The code snippet I assumed would work looked like this:
Code:
.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Location Summary'!$T$4,'Location Summary'!$AE$4," & LocSumActGP
But it doesn't seem to like that.
