If there a way to change the souce data so that it changes based on a variable? For example, if a cell's value equals X then use one range and if it is Y then use a different. As far as I can tell you cannot use the "IF" argument in a chart Source field.
One option I came up with is to change the actual data on a worksheet and always have the source data point to that range in the worksheet. The problem is that the source data is not always the same length (Monthly may be 100 columns long while Daily is 1000 columns long - the chart looks starnge).
I am wondering if there is a way to take the charts I have created, and save them on a different worksheet in Excel. The issue I have is that when I erase the data source, the charts lose all their data. Is there a way to save the chart as is without it relying on its data source (ex. So I can remove the data for the chart)?
For some reason, the charts in my excel workbook do not update automatically when the data are changed. I have set Calculation to Automatic, but it still doesn't work. They update only if I close and reopen the workbook. Is it due to a problem with setting? How can I get the charts to automatically update?
Sheet1 contains a chart using a dynamic name in Source Data: Values. The dynamic name data is controlled by another cell. When I copy the sheet - i.e. Sheet1 (2) - and change the control cell, the Source Data: Values in the copied sheet still refers to the original Sheet1.
I have created a powerpoint that has linked charts from excel. Stupidly, I have saved both of these files (powerpoint and excel) on my desktop.
I need to save them on another drive (so they can be accessed by others) but i am worried that if i move the original excel file, it will break the links for the charts in the powerpoint file....
I have over 150 charts so I don't fancy going through and re-pasting each chart.
I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
When i add a month coloumn,Sparklines and Average coloumn should get updated automaticaly.Now this is not happening even if the data is in table format.I also want the graphs to be automaticaly updated.
In the attached document is a timeline made from a scatter chart. Error bars using custom values are used to show the length of each task, however I can't get the chart to include error bars for the last 2 data points (tasks).
Hi, have a question regarding dynamic charts, specifically I am trying to create several dymanic charts based on data in a single column (So i can only say my first set of data will be starting a a set location in the chart, the rest has to shift down based chart data above it). This data should organized in charts depending on the data in several other columns. For instance, need to pull out values from column based some ID and some PartNumber. A sample excel or VBA would be much appreciated. I know VBA but do not know Excel VBA much.
I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.
I give a daily report (contents of this sheet) but I also need to leave this sheet available for anyone to open and change to another date.
I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.
I have a bar chart that was made from table 1 which has the value in it. I have another table, table 2 that has the name corresponding to the value in table 1. I want to color data points in a bar chart with a different color for each name I have in table 2. I also want to give a data label in the data points with the value I have in table 2 instead of the original data label from table 1. Is it possible to do it?
Is there a way to use Data Validation that will pull data from a source list and also be able to type in additional data or just new data in same cell?
I am trying to put some charts into a report that is pivot table based. I have some code that will work if the pivot tables stay stagnic but the users may change the tables around so that could be an issue of new data. I have the following code where I changed the source to the pivot table name (general name because of numberous report possibilites). I have taken out the other charts because they are just a variation of the chart 1. I am crashing on the line with the * on it.
Sub UWTierChart() Dim oCell As Range Dim oChart As Chart Set ws_data = ActiveSheet 'Chart 1 Sheets(wsPT).Select Range("B21").Select
I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.
excel data table within the charts. I would like to customize the data table placing underneath the chart so I can highlight (say, in red) some of the figures that are greater than certain values for easy reference. Is there anyway I can do with it (since I got more than 800 charts) than that I can only use tools to draw a rectangle and cover that particluar cells up? or is there any ways I can link up the conditional formatting of the data itself with the chart so I can applying certain coloring on the data and reflect on the data table?
I have three items I would like to graph, on one chart. The first is %Complete. This is a number figure. The next is the date the item is due to ship. Obv, this is a Date. The third is today's date. Basically, I would like to display in the same chart so that we can see how far a long a project is, in relation with today's date and how much longer we have until it needs to ship.
This is the current display of the chart:
Is there a way to show the ship date, as the 100% complete mark? In order to make it display half-way decent, I had to format the left y-axis to go above 100%. I first tried to format the right y-axis, but was extremely confused to setting values. I figured out that the end date is somewhere in the 40,000 value mark? WTF is this about? Is 1 equal to 24 hours? I assumed that was the case, but then when I pick the value it should end with, it doesn't seem to react that way. I want the right axis to start with 12/01/2011 and end with 5/01/2012. How can I achieve this?
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.
(formatted general not as dates) 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988
I am trying to record a macro so i can click a button and have excel break the link between my charts and the tables that drive them. during the record phase, i click on each chart and use F9. the problem i am facing is that now my macro sets the charts to the data that was there when i recorded the macro, erasing any changes i have made.
How can i link colors used in charts to companies i have i my database. Now excel provides colors in a certain sequence but this is not what i want. I attached a file in which i for example wants to create pie charts of the company's sales. What do i have to do to give each company its own color?
I can still do a pivot report against the 'saved' data. So it must be out there in a file...? I read the function GETPIVOTDATA. Based on the description, It sounds like it would work to rebuild the source data. However the examples given don't see to match up with that. I have tried playing with the command, but I really don't know what I am doing and have had no luck
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve that stored data that the pivot reports are reporting against?
I'm currently working on a spreadsheet for my husbands work in a school environment. All was going well until I hit a wall with the alphanumeric data of the current uk stats system. Is there any way of getting my 4c...4b...4a...etc. to chart?
I've compiled data into a spreadsheet which indicates the number of homes sold over the course of 3 years (from 1/1/05 to now) along with their price per square foot, sale price, year built, bed/bath count, and other pertinent factors regarding each property.
I've extrapolated graphs from these in the past which indicated the trends in each category over time (i.e.: Average quarterly price per square foot over time, and so forth).
The data range I'm working with now, however, is from an area of my region so small, that the number of units sold over the past few years is sporadic. Whereas it's normally 100 to 1000 units that comprise my data, now it's only 15 units.
This has created gaps in my line graphs where the price per square foot will dramatically drop down to zero over the periods in time where no sale was recorded. So the line graph ends up looking like a zig-zaggy range of peaks reflecting the price per square foot of a sale, and valleys representing "$0.00" for periods of time where nothing has sold.
To have a Price per square foot of $0.00 is incorrect since in reality nothing was sold.
I would like to be able to eliminate the portions of the graph that have the "$0.00" so that the line graph can "jump" from one sale to the next when the quarterly data indicates 0 units sold.
I'd like to do this without having to eliminate those areas in my spreadsheets. Is there any "catch-all" tool that might do this or is that just crazy talk?
I'm trying to create a bubble chart created on three different columns of data. I'd like the following:
-The X-axis should just show the first columns of dates I have stored. -The Y-axis should be the number of lots of a product that I bought of a certain product. -I'd like the actual bubbles to not only represent the number of lots purchased on the given date, but I'd like the size to be represented by the third column, which is the average price of each lot.
Is there a way to do this? I've been trying to maneuver it around all morning, and can't seem to get it how I want it. I'm not sure if I'm ordering the columns incorrectly or what.
I have a quite big database as a result of a study in Excel 2010. There is a special block of data for every participant in the study, including 16 data series in 16 lines. I have to make a unique chart for every line.
One block is bulid up in a way, that every row is the input for a chart, with the exception of one "spacer" row, which is empty.
Name 1 2 3 4 ... A B C
D E F
For example in the sample above, there should be 6 line-charts (A, B, C, D, E, F) next to the block.
Can a macro be written, so I can automatically create the chart-set by selecting the block's upper left cell and running the macro? Or is there any easier method?
I've got several sets of data all which link to seperate charts, the problem i'm having is that i dont want the chart to display the fields with zero values and with the amount of charts and data it is taking ages to re-source the data is there a way of getting the chart to ignore zero fields or of somehow sorting the data in a way only fields with values are shown
I would like to display the latest data label value for a data series So if I update my table for period 2 the chart should update to display only this value. Then period 3 and so on Workbook attached
