Charts - Horizontal Axis

Jan 26, 2009

I recently started keeping a new chart to track several different stocking measures. After running the data this morning, I noticed my horizontal axis had blank position holders for data over the weekend. How would I set the chart so that if there is no data in my data range, it doesn't put a place holder in the axis? Sample attached.

Chart Dates On Horizontal Axis

Oct 31, 2012

I am trying to create a chart with dates from the past 6 weeks (one week at a time). The horizontal axis shows the dates from my data page correctly until I make one of the other data fields a secondary axis and then my dates change from the actual dates on the data page to 1-Jan-00, 2-Jan-00, through 6-Jan-00.

When I do the select data and look at the dats in the Horizontal Axis labels box, it shows the real dates. Why won't they show up on the chart as actual dates?

Dynamic Charts With Horizontal Data?

Oct 3, 2012

I am creating dynamic charts with a data sheet that is horitzonal. My x-axis : =OFFSET('chart data'$B$1,0,1,1,COUNT('chart data'$2:$2)-1), y-axis: =OFFSET('chart data'!$A$1,0,1,1,COUNTA('chart data'!$1:$1)-1). My formulas are giving me #VALUE. Not sure why.

Gas Consumption Charts - X Axis

Jan 24, 2008

I am trying to create a spreadsheet with a chart to show gas consumption in our house.
I have sufficient data to produce the standard "S" curve for a 12 month period and would like to be able to have one chart with the standard "S" curve on it plus a curve of progress in the year to date of gas used so that an instant comparison between planned and actual usage can be made.
The problem is that the 2 curves require a different X axis. The standard "S" curve has an X axis that is 12 months long whereas the current one is as long as it is from the start of the year being measured. Both curves will have data inputs on different dates in the year.

Excel 2007 :: Dates By Month On X-Axis In Horizontal Stacked Bar Chart?

Aug 24, 2012

I am working with the Ganntt chart and horizontal bar charts but can't seem to figure out a way to force the X-Axis to behave properly.

In Excel 2007, I am trying to get the X-Axis to show major units of Months. However, in my chart options I can only change the Y-Axis to be Date/Monthly.

Changing my data layout (from the below) to be a vertical format produces the same problem, just in the other direction.

My data looks as follows:

System
Blocker
Production
Migrataion
Retired

Sys1
1/1/2012
780

Sys2
1/1/2012
400
60
90

Sys3
2/1/2013
30
5
1

The Blocker column is formatted as "No Fill" in order to cover a portion of the time-scale.

My X-Axis displays as random dates throughout the period and all of my data displays properly in terms of the scale on the grid.

What is NOT working is that the dates shown on the X-Axis really need to be based on a Monthly scale instead of the randomly selected dates Excel is using.

20120823.xlsx

I can't seem to find the right combination of options to make that happen or force a scale on the X-Axis.

Excel 2007 :: Horizontal Align X Axis Title To Plot Area VBA?

Jun 16, 2012

We have a lot of charts we want to create in Excel 2007. We have templates created that seem to work. (But also sometime seem to not.)

After the charts are created that are placed in their own chart pages/sheets. The problem I'm having is that the x axis title doesn't seem to be centered horizontally wrt the x axis of the plot area. (It does look centered wrt the chart area.)

Some code or an algorithm to control he placement of the x axis title and maybe center it?

Excel 2010 :: Horizontal Axis Labels Not Updating Range - Have To Update It Twice To Stick

Jan 28, 2013

I recently switched to Excel 2010 and have a rather peculiar problem.Every week I update a bunch of charts in different workbooks. By update, I pretty much mean just shifting the range over one column or down one row to incorporate newly added data.

So I right click the chart, select "Select Data", update all the Data series ranges and then I click on the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels button "Edit" to update the Axis label range.

I do all that then press OK. The data series have updated, but the axis labels haven't. So then I do the procedure again for the Axis Labels, hit OK again and voila: It worked.

But I ALWAYS have to do this procedure twice. It will NEVER update the axis labels the first time around. Even though the little preview window below the edit button show the labels correctly.

Limiting Values Of Y-Axis In Charts?

Apr 1, 2009

Is there a way to limit the range of values on the Y-Axis on the lower end? Like I don't wish the Y-axis to begin from 0 but say 500. Is that possible?

I have a set of data values ranging from 650 - 850, but the Excel graph however looks too fine because the Y-axis begins from 0.

Assign X Axis Charts Values

Sep 28, 2011

I would like to know how can I plot my x axis of a chart with the maximum and minimum value that I have in this variable. Note that my variable is no going from the lower value to the highes one, it is random. So what I did is to use the autoscale of the chart, but it is not working as I would like. Any solution?

The code that I use is:

Code:

' TO GET THE INITIAL and FINAL VALUE and the STEP
Worksheets(wsheet(27)).Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chartName(11)).Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScaleIsAuto = True
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnitIsAuto = True
xScaleMin = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScale
xScaleMax = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale
xScaleStep = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnit

'After I use them (xScaleMin,xScaleMax,xScaleStep) for several charts, in this way:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chartName(11)).Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text =VarName
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Select
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Font.Size = 11
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScale = xScaleMin
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale = xScaleMax
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnit =xScaleStep

' but if my data was between 50 and 250 it is plotting between 0 and 300

Excel 2003 :: Labeling Horizontal Axis Of XYScatter Chart With Math Division Inverse

Jan 16, 2013

We make many graphs using XYscatter charts with lots of data points using Excel 2003 with the horizontal scale properly scaled as frequency. I have been asked to label that axis in some way as period (=1/frequency) without changing the scaling for the data plot. Is there a suitable way to do this? It would be OK to just change the axis numbers to 1/frequency computed from them automatically. Is Excel 2010 any easier for this?

Overlay Two Bar Charts Together / Large Dataset For X Axis

Feb 19, 2013

I have the following two bar charts. (see links below). I would like to overlay both these bar charts together and obtain the chart shown in link 3.

For example, at 4.4 GHz and 1.8m antenna, two values (downtime/year) are possible 15 min or 557min. This is represented in the third figure Since the first chart contains small values and the second chart contains large values for the x-axis, will I able to change this to log scale for ease of analysis?

Charts - Dynamic Change Of Where X And Y Axis Cross

Oct 4, 2013

There is POLICY statement that determine an what ACTION should be applied to a paticular building given a score for "LIFE" & "RISK" which results in varing policies A-D. (The Policy intervention points differs slightly for varing types of building. This excel sheet works just fine, and provides the correct guidance for our engineers by suggesting Policy A-D on input of tbuilding type and LIfe/Risk score. However the Policy is a guide, and they do need to apply a level of judgement with the data close to intervention points.

My Question,

I would like to provide further graphical representation to aid decision making. I have a graph plots the X Axis ( LIFE) 0-100, and y Axis (risk) 0-5 and show the , but what i need to be able to do is dynamically adjust the position where the x&y axis cross, so showing visually the intervention point when different building types are selected.

Automatically Update Charts As X And Y Axis Data Changes

Jul 28, 2009

Produce a chart (not a problem) that can be updated should the length of the X and Y data change?

This may not even need to be a macro, if it is possible to have a chart whose X and Y axis updates depending on the contents of a column?

If you search through the history of even this forum you will see quite a lot of people are looking for this solution.

Charts Data Point Appears Cut-off Along Y-Axis

Oct 23, 2007

The first data point of my chart appears cutoff along the y axis

I formatted the x-axis by clearing the check box "Value (Y) axis crosses at maximum category"

If I add the tick mark back in then my first data point does not begin at the origin.

How To Avoid Data Labels Overlapping X Axis In Charts

Jul 7, 2014

I have a dynamic column chart that may contain positive or negative (or both) values. The columns contain Data Labels positioned 'Outside End'.

I want to avoid the Data Labels (for the negative values) overlapping the x axis. Is there a way to do this via VBA?

I know how to update the chart axis via vba linked to cell values, but I can't figure out a formula I can use to calculate the minimum which takes into account the distance needed to avoid the overlapping problem.

Changing Values Of X-axis, And Descending Order Axis(x-axis)

Feb 8, 2009

Two questions:

1) How do make values on x-axis as words? E.g. apples, oranges, etc.

2) Is it possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order? If I can figure out 1), I can do this as well, but it would be nice to know if it is possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order.

Excel 2007 :: Primary Category Axis Title Rotates With Rotated Value Axis Titles

May 13, 2014

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 Create Engineering Graph With Two X Axis And Single Y Axis

Dec 10, 2012

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.

Second Category Axis & Value Axis To Current Chart

Sep 27, 2006

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.
