I have a number of bar charts for which I'd like to colour the bars blue if the associated value is greater than zero and red if less than zero.
Is it possible to get Excel to assign the colours accordingly, in the same way as it does with conditional formatting in worksheets?
I have a Pivot Chart with 5 data series requiring 3 different formats.
Data: In my Pivot Table I have the following Fields - Type, Year, Month, Sales.
The Years are always the most Recent 2 Years (Currently 2011,2012).
The Months are, well, the Months Jan Through Dec.
The Sales are 'Number of Sales in The Period'
The Type is one of 3: Sales, Cumulative Sales and Change.
Sales has a field for every month in 2011 and 2012, the same for cumulative and finally, Change has the difference between 2011 and 2012 sales for each month.
Now when I plot these on the chart I have
Sales 2011, Sales 2012 Plotted as a line chart on the primary axis,
Change Plotted as a bar chart on the primary axis, with invert if negative formatting,
Cumulative Sales 2011, Cumulative Sales 2012, Plotted as a line chart on the Secondary axis. With the same colours per year as Sales, but as a Dashed Line.
I want this formatting to remain static as the data updates, and if possible when the series changes name (which i'm not sure is possible) because, come January the data series will be 2013/2012 not 2012/2011.
With the other formatting is seems to sometimes stay static and sometimes just decides to reformat everything and switch axes and i'm not really sure why.
Is it possible to aply conditional formating in Chart. for eg. my data in is below format

Now I want a Coloumn chart in which line changed to Red color which are below average. Currently i have to do manually change in it. Is it possible to change column chart color as per condition.
I have the table: chart1.png
If the bubble size is 0-5, I need the bubble color to be green
If the bubble size is 6-15, I need the bubble color to be yellow
If the bubble size is 16-25, I need the bubble color to be red.
So, right now my chart looks like this: chart.png
As you can see the top bubble is the right color, but based on the bottom bubble value, it should be green.
How do I make this change colors dynamically based on the bubble size value?
Hey Guys- I'm not sure if this is even possible but I need some help. I have attached a file below similar to a gantt chart. I need help with the conditional formatting, as I have manually changed the colors to match what I need automated.
Basically I have 6 tasks and I need to change dates for individual projects but I also need the corresponding color to also change.
I currently have a thermometer chart in Excel 2013 that I set up with percentages along the Y-Axis. The thermometers are showing spending based on a budgeted number. Currently, the project is over-budget so I have adjusted the thermometer scale to go far beyond 100%.
I would like to have the percentages past 100% show in red along the lefthand side.
I have a horizontal bar chart in which some of the bars represent positive values and others represent negative values.
How to format the bars so the "positive" bars are shaded in one colour and "negative" bars in another colour? I'd prefer not to change the bar colour manually as the values change frequently.
I have 60 days of data, Nov 1st through Dec 31st.
The date is my x-axis labels.
I produce a daily report. I'd always like for the current dates vertical bar to be "red".
Is there any easy way to have this accomplished?
I am looking for the best way to use conditional formatting in a Gantt chart. I want the cells to turn blue if they fall between two dates.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to format the colors of the bubbles on my bubble chart to Green (>5), Yellow (4-5), or Red (<4) based on the value used to create the bubblesize.
The problem that I am having is that .BubbleSizes is property of type String, not range like .xValues, or .Values. So instead of pulling in the value, I am pulling in the reference and getting a "Type Mismatch" Error. The reference of my data for .BubbleSizes is $D$5:$D51. Each row is it's own series and the list is dynamic, so I need to be able to support future rows without a lot of maintenance.
Here is the code that I have so far.
VB:
Sub DataSeriesFormat()

' Format Data Series based on defined parameters for Green, Yellow, and Red. Created by Derek Steinmetz 7/24/12

Dim val As Variant

A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.

Is it possible to change the format of cell AI3 based on the format of cell C3 and D3? I have C3 and D3 set to turn red based on what is in cell C2 and D2. I would like the following done:
If AI3=C3 & C3 is red, format AI3 blue
If AI3=D3 & D3 is red, format AI3 blue
Otherwise, leave AI3 unformatted.
Possible???
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
Any VBA that I can put into a macro that will convert conditional formatting into fixed formatting..? So when the cell contents/formulas are deleted the formatting remains. Assume that the range I want to convert is A1:D200...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a gas mileage chart where the MPG line will change from one color to another as the "type" of driving changes (Highway to City). However, the chart also ignores any non-full tank data to eliminate spikes that arise in your MPG calculations when you don't fill your tank up all the way.
I have attached a spreadsheet detailing what i have done and would like to know if anyone can think of an easier way to replicate this chart.
I'm trying to write a macro that will format my chart data based on the corresponding cell value. I have the following code, which runs without error, but the formatting on data points doesn't change. I can't seem to get this to actually change the color of the data point in the chart.
Code:
Sub FormatChart()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim y As Long
Dim j As Long
'this routine will format the charts on worksheets "SL11730" & "SL14100" 'so that data points equal to or above 98% will be green filled and 'all other points will be red filled
'set loop counter to two (contract (4100) & retail (1730))
j = 1
'start loop
Do Until j = 3
If j = 1 Then strwkb = "SL11730"
If j = 2 Then strwkb = "SL14100"

I want on my chart is an object (Arrow in this case), that is conditional formatted on data between 2 periods.
The first bar of 20 represents a top 20 list with most common failures.
I would like to have an arrow that indicates that if the last period, the amount of failures has gone up, down or is equal to the period before that.
So period 1, article 111 had 10 failures, period 2 article 111 had 20 failures, hence there should be an arrow pointing up related to that bar.
I am trying to bring my charting skills up to date, and all I can say is that I am not good. What I am trying to accomplish is a graph where I can choose in the graph ie by a check box which units I want to include. In some instances perhaps I would like all units and in some instances only a couple. Is this possible to do? I have included some data that might be useful to work with.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have four columns in my worksheet. In column C, I need to find the no. of times word "Alarm" is occuring. Further, with each "Alarm" entry in col C, there is a alarm type given in column D.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to format the date in my x-axis which is currently 'month-day-year' but I would llike it to be 'month-year' I know it is because my data that was used for the date is 'month-day-year' but since I am using power pivot I can not change the data. Is there a way I can change it to my desired format so that my pivot chart will only have the 'month-year' format in the x-axis?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI created a bubble chart whose x-axis and y-axis show every 10th value between 0 and 100 (i.e. 0, 10, 20, 30...). The axes intersect at (50, 50) to create 4 quadrants.
I want to erase/hide the values on the axes (i.e. the axes will no longer show 0, 10, 20, 30... and at the same time, the bubbles will still be in the same place) to create 4 blank quadrants and make my bubble chart easier to look at.
My question is a display/ chart format question. I need to convey what I am showing on this chart in a less "busy" fashion. Is there a way to display the data in an easier to read and see format? In particular, is having both averages on the chart in the same format an issue?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to have the points and the lines connecting them on my line graph be two different colors depending on a value i put in a column next to the chart values.
For example:
x y Variable
1 5 1
2 10
3 16 1
4 5
The points where there is a 1 in the variable column i would like to make a different color from the other points.
I did an extensive search and all i could find was the following:
Sub myChartClass_Calculate()
Dim cht As Object
Dim p As Object
Dim V As Variant
Dim Counter As Integer
However, this uses the values from the chart data, not an outside variable.

I can't seem to get the pivot table/chart to format exactly as I desire. It seems that as soon as I add 'group by hour and day' Excel forces the formatting to AM/PM and I want to keep it military. I want to group by hour, so that data that occurs at 6:00 and at 6:30 are grouped, and I had to group by day so that 6:00 on 1/1 was separated from 6:00 on 1/2.
Attached is a worksheet which shows the desired chart format (not a pivot chart), and the attempted pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to match the 'simple' chart in look and feel. Any attempts to change the formatting of the row labels to 'h' is promptly ignored by Excel.
Note the two tasks that occur at hour 18 (one at 18:00 and the other at 18:20 (you will need to see the formatting to truly see the minutes)). Those should be combined in the pivot table (and they are) and on my 'adjusted' table (where I used SUMIFS).
I work in a call centre and I record my daily figures. My target is 82%, and I would like a bar chart in Excel 2003 to colour the chart according to wether I hit target or not. If my daily figure >=82% the bar should be green.
View 9 Replies View Related have come across the apparent inflexibility of a pivot chart retaining its user defined formatting whenever it is refreshed.
I understand I can save my chosen formatting as a 'user defined' custom chart, which can be applied post-refresh, but was wondering if a simple bit of code would do this automatically, saving the additional clicks!
how to deal with the attached. How could I adapt the code to call in other 'user defined' charts I may create in the future?
Attached is a chart I am trying to create. So basically, I originally used a line chart but it didn't have the flexibility of the scatter chart, but i am having a very hard time formatting the X axis. First of all - I would like the line in the middle at the 0% point to actually go to the bottom so that the x axis labels aren't in the middle of the graph. Second the x axis labels aren't showing up correctly. They should be quarters: 1Q:02, 2Q:02, 3Q:02, 4Q:02... Finally, how can I show the correlation between these two data points plotted - the R-squared. THANKS!!! Auto Merged Post;I actually was able to figure out most of what I asked. What is remaining: how do I calculate the R-Squared on the chart? Isn't there a way to do it automatically in excel on the chart.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet with various tick boxes, that when ticked calculate an accumulative percentage in a cell. This cell is the basis of my graph. e.g. if the cell displays 80% - the chart with show 80% - simple.
however, I want to write a vba code that changes the fill colour of the chart depending on the percentage.
i.e. if the percentage data = 0-49% I wish the chart to display as red. 50-69% - yellow and 70%+ = green.
