I'm facing a charting problem and i can not find any solution with a search here, anyway this is the problem: When I choose a week I would like to see the results of the 5 previous week also.
View 4 RepliesI currently have a simply bar chart that is based on a running 5 days figure so the X-axis is like 01-Mar 02-Mar 03-Mar ...
Y-Axis is the data that I am trying to present - Total $
The source of this data is simply two columns - Column A is the running date, Column B will be data.
Daily I need to only present 5 days historical data based on the latest date i.e. today and the past four days (the source data is updated daily).
Can a macro be used to auto update the bar charts based on today's date?
I have a quarterly report that measures the safety performance of the plants in our company using bar charts. One set of 4 charts for the company as a whole and four additional sets of four for each of our divisions for a total of 20 charts.
I would like to change the color of the bars based on whether the location has met (bars colored green) or failed to meet (bars colored red) the goal for that criteria. The company average will be a yellow bar. Of course it can be done manually but that is really slow and tedious.
Is there a way, using VBA or a macro, to change the color of a bar (data point) based on the value of that data point? Can it run through all of the data points in each chart and make those changes based on criteria that I can set for each type of chart?
I'm trying to create a simplified Gantt chart of sorts, and cannot figure out one piece of it. I'm not sure how to write out exactly what I need, but here goes.
I would like to have a formula that looks at the percent completed (which the user inputs) and multiplies it by the total duration for the task to give a total number of days completed. Then, under the corresponding dates, the color of the cell would change. I've attached a simplified version of what I'm talking about.
On the attached spreadsheet, the total duration (D2) is 5 days and the percent completed (C2) is 40%. This calculates to 2 days. With that said, I would like the cells under the first 2 days under the listed dates (E2 and F2) to change color. When the percentage complete reaches 60%, then G2 would change color, when it reaches 80%, then H2 would change, and when it reaches 100%, then I2 would change.
My guess is that the formula will need to result in a particular value, and then I'll use Conditional Formatting to do the actual changing of the cell color. Assuming this is correct, I still don't know what formula to use to accomplish this.
I have data. 2 columns a2:b5
each row has a different font color
apple 4
banana 3
peach 2
pear 1
I want the label in a chart to march the font color of the source cell
So in a chart I'd have 4 labels:
"apple"
"banana"
"peach"
"pear"
I can't see how to do it. When i select the albels it's "all or none". I can change ll the labels to a color. But, I want each individual label to be a diferent color.
I am trying to create a macro which will allow me to change the source data for a particular chart. what i want to do is to have a code which looks in a range of cells (A8:B28) and then updates the chart to only include those cells within the range that contain a value? The number of cells with values changes depending on what options are selected elsewhere in the spreadsheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEach week I have to add a new column to a report and then update the source data of all the charts that use that newly added column. I am trying to create a macro that will use the last 12 columns of data located on a different worksheet as the range for the source data of the chart. I have attached an excel document that contains an example of how one of the charts that I am using looks and where it pulls the data from.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to find out how can I create a chart, where it is interacting with the selection of 3 drop down list (created from data validation-list option). It will show up to 12 months of data.
First list would have only Male & Female, 2nd list would have 1st Class, 2nd Upper, 2nd Lower, 3rd Class and Pass Only, 3rd list would have all the months of 3 years.
My data is from J9:U22. These data needs to be changed accordingly, reading from D45:U58.
For the graph, if I select Male, 2nd Upper, and Jun-2012, I want it to show only this selection, where the period will be from Jul-2011 till Jun-2012.
Previously I have done one, with only 1 selection of drop down list, where I used Vlookup. Now involves 3 criterias.
Or is there an easier way to do it?
I am trying to chart data from a single cell that is changing over time. The cell is linked to another software program that provides its value. I would like to be able to chart the changes in its value either every time it changes or on some time interval (i.e. every 3 minutes).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI should know this and I'm sure its something very simple that just wont come to me. I have two cells, one has "total billable hours" in a month, the second needs to calculate how many days based on that number. So it needs to increase by 1 for every multiplier of 24 in the first cell.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have cell F15 which is blank by default, and cell D14 which pulls a value from another sheet (D14's value is =Info!X20). For D14's properties I have it set to show thirds (Custom Property "# ?/3"). I want to make D14 increase by 1/3 for every increment of 60 that F15 contains. For example, let's say D14 is 12. If F15 is 59, it won't change. If it's 60, D14 will be 12 1/3, and if its 180, it'll be 13. I think I'm close, but just can't quite get it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a sheet where there is a cell designated as "start number" (where any number may be entered) and a cell designated as "how many times". I would then like to be able to click a button and excel generates a list of sequential numbers starting from the number designated in the "start number" cell as many times as is designated in the "how many times" cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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 have a spreadsheet with a worksheet for each month, so as a new month begins I add a new worksheet using a macro
Each worksheet has 5 columns:
A = Vendor, B = Date, C = Debits, D = Credits, E = Balance
Row 30 contains the totals for columns C, D, & E, cell A30 contains the text Totals
The problem I have is occaisionally extra rows are added so the totals may not be in row 30
Is there any way that the macro can be changed so that it looks for the word Total in column A and then reads the contents of the corresponding cell E? to transfer that total to cell E2 on the next worksheet
Changing the data based on a drop down selection. My drop down list is based on the months I need the data (percentages for each person) to change depending on which month is chosen. So If I select Jan, the percentage fills in for each person. I've attached an example.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 1 sheet called Setup which users enter their character name, their class, and their race, additionally the entire workbook manages data for up to 9 individual characters.
On another sheet called C|R|E, I have tasks listed that are based on each class type and each race type that are available. Currently there are nine classes and four races. Currently on this sheet each class and each race has its own individual data lists and such, and formulas are done in a way that user inputted data can be entered anywhere, but wont count unless the class and race match those selected on the Setup sheet. To keep the sheet short in appearance I used command buttons to hide/unhide classes or races not in use by the user.
What I was wondering is (and this could be hard to describe), can data in one column be changed to reflect data based on another column's focus? I will explain in more detail.
Column B contains the task information for each Class and Race. For example Cells B13-B51 for one class, Burglar. Columns D-L is where users enter data to show if the task is completed or not. In this example lets say the users first character listed on the Setup sheet is a Champion. What I want to do is check the Setup sheet Char 1. Then based on what Char 1 is selected as on the Setup Sheet, C|R|E B13-B51 data is changed to reflect it, IF Column D currently has focus. If Column E gets focus then B13-B51 changes based on the class selected on the setup sheet for character 2. and etc.
If this can be done I can remove the 13 different sections and have it down to 2 sections, one for class, one for race. For now I am using check boxes to hide classes and races they are not currently using, but would like to move all classes into one table and all races into one table to they dont have trouble with columns they have to skip over currently.
This is a sample of how I am currently working on the C|R|E sheet, the full code is much much longer since I am using so many command buttons.
This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.

I received a workbook, and one of the sheets has a chart based on data from another sheet within the same workbook. Interesting enough that I cannot select any cell within that chart worksheet, all the rows and columns headings are gone, i can only select the chart. Secondly, it doesn't look like anything is locked. I can still protect the worksheet for some reason, so it's not protected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to chart (pie or graph) sales based on the hour they occured.
In excel, I have column A - the time stamp, and column B, the sale. Note that each sale has its own unique time stamp.
I need this chart to show 3 bar colors based upon values from b5:b14 (data column). This chart is based upon the last 10 draws, so since there are 3 positions, the hit frequency expectancy would be (10 draws/3 positions = 3.33 rounded to 3). So now I would like my bar graph colors RED for any values above "3" in b5:b14 (data column), GREEN for any values equal to "3" in b5:b14 (data column) and BLUE for any values below "3" in b5:b14 (data column).
Attached is a sample chart
I have a spreadsheet that I am using to try to track Project Man Hours. What happens is:
I enter in the amount of weeks a Project Phase is in and when the Project Starts. I also enter in how many "Men" we are going to need.
i.e. Project Start - January 2009
Phase 1 - 4 weeks with 1.5 Men
Phase 2 - 20 weeks with 2 Men.
What I want to happen is:
Excel then adds that data to a chart showing EACH MONTH and the amount of men needed for each phase.
Project 1 showing a line chart with January-December and the lines correlating with the amount of "Men" needed each week based on the Start Date and Sequential Phase Week Amounts.....
I want to have the "category (x) axis label" to change with each new entry into column A. I would like to start from the last entry and go back 30 and have that change each time there is a new entry. I guess what I am trying to say is I only want to chart the last 30 entries.

This time, however, instead of having a slight idea of what I need to do, I don't have the slightest of where to start. I need to move all of these charts into another sheet, sheet1, and i'd like to offset them or do something so that they aren't all right on top of each other. I'd be more specific but I don't really know exactly what you can or can't do.
I'm trying to create a chart with different source ranges e.g if i used
With ch.Chart
.SeriesCollection.Add _
Source:=Worksheets(1).Source:=Worksheets(1).Range("C1:C8,J1:J8")
End With
That works fine but I want to modify the columns it looks at. I was going to use the cells(x,y) method but I can't get it to work. icol = 3. Range(Cells(1, iCol), Cells(8, iCol)). This works for a single range(C1:C8), but how do i reference Range("C1:C8,J1:J8") in the same way.
In my table I want to create a user form where the individual would enter a number which would correspond for the Header Row.
and
The user would also enter a Number that would correspond for the first main column (Column B).
Based on the numbers entered, I want to find the next highest number.
For example if 61 is entered 66 would be chosen.
-Same would be for the numbers entered to find the column.
Based on the numbers entered I would like to find the intersecting cell.
Basic code I can embed in a user form?
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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with pivot charts that I can't figure out and I can't find anyone with the same problems either. I have several big reports that use data from 2005 onwards that need to be represented on graphs separated by the city the data belongs to and different ranges of the results. This data is being sourced from inside each workbook on another tab and turned into a series of pivot tables (for each city) which provides the source for the charts. I did it like this because if I use pivot graphs I don't have to go through and individually change the data source range in the charts every time - because there are so many.
My problem is that when I refresh the pivot tables (to bring in the new data) the pivot charts 'chart type' resets. They should be represented in a Line - Column on 2 Axes chart and I have set this as the defult type but after refreshing it reverts to a basic column graph and I have to go through and change them all back manually. I made a macro that acts on a currently selected chart to change the format to make this process a bit faster:
I am trying to create a chart that will show each month of the year's workload based on orders due for each month. I have all of the information needed on a spreadsheet to chart this into a simple chart showing the load, however, I want a little extra on the charting to show me additional details.
I would like for my chart to also display the available man hours for each month against the workload. I would like for the available man hours to be displayed by color changes in each month bar column of the graph.
So if I had 1000 hours of work in the month of April and only 960 man hours available in April it would have shown me throughout the month as the chart grew that I was "Green" for all hours below 860. The as the chart grew past 860 that portionof the chart changed to "Orange" telling me that the hours were soon to be full. Once it reached 960 that part of the chart would turn "Red" as an indication that we have more workload than we can complete for that month. This would be useful for me as an overtime tool, as well as for review for additional man hours or a decrease in man hours.
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)
