I am trying to format the colour of a column chart based on the value of the x axis (not the y axis value). Firstly I need to know if it is possible. Secondly I would appreciate any hints / VBA code that could be useful.
View 4 Replieshow 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.
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.
With a scatter chart, you can use the following vba to set maximum and minimum category values on a scatter chart. Is the same possible for a line chart and if so, how?
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory)
If Range("S6").Value "" Then .MinimumScale = Range("S6").Value
If Range("S7").Value "" Then .MaximumScale = Range("S7").Value
Has anyone ever succeeded in offsetting category labels in a chart by surpressing the first category label. I am plotting monthly financial data over several years and want to show category labels for the month ends which coincide with quarterly month ends (i.e Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Dec-06). If I select 2 tick marks between categories I get Jan-06, Apr-06, Jul-06, Oct-6) because my first month and category label is Jan-06. Is there a way to offset displaying the first category label by two tick marks and start with Mar-06 and then go every two tick marks between category labels?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do not seem to be able to consistently control word wrapping in the Category Axis area in the series of charts I create quarterly. The individual names appearing are basically the same, but sometimes they word wrap and sometime they don't. In the attached sample, sheet C2-Location: PPO chart is just the way it needs to be - NO WORD WRAP. But if you change that chart to another location it word wraps. (To change locations, go to sheet D2 which controls sheet C2 chart, and change the location to SGO.) It appears that the less bars in the chart the greater the problem.
I have spent 2 1/2 hrs trying to get in control of this. I have changed font sizes, changed the plot area, changed the grid lines scale, changed the cell size on the originating sheet (D2), removed the check mark in Auto Scale on the Font tab, and stretched/reduced the entire chart without consistent success. What is most frustrating is that twice I have "accidently" gotten a chart to all of a sudden not word wrap but don't know why because when I try to repeat what I think I did before, it does not work!
Additionally, at times it may appear correct on the screen, but when I do Print Preview, it is word wrapped! I have searched multiple sites and googled multiple Excel solutions as well as pulled out some books but cannot find any references regarding how to control this.
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.
I 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()
'
' DataSeriesFormat Macro
' Format Data Series based on defined parameters for Green, Yellow, and Red. Created by Derek Steinmetz 7/24/12
'
Dim x As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Dim Green As Range

I 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.
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.

I have a chart and a number of the data sets have a horizontal data but then some sets don't. How can I add the same horizontal data to the sets that don't?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm building a chart wich displays data for each month and there are 3 phases that are defined by month and included in the chart. I've managed to show both of the category series, but I'd need to change the order in which the labels are displays. Now I have the axis in the following form:
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
I need it in the following form:
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
I have a set of data which I need to plot both unordered and ranked.
For the unordered (as is) data, a line graph is fine, as it gives the category labels along the x axis.
For the ordered data, i have a row with the ranking in, and then plot an xy scatter graph, so the values increase.
This obviously has the rank numbers along the x axis, not the corresponding category labels.
Is there anyway to force this? I know there are chart labelling add-ins on here, but our IT dept blocks the download.
The attched file is a very small example.
I have a spreadsheet with golfers handicaps, golfers names down the left in column A in rows 3-35. Row 2 has the event numbers titles 1 to 18 (18 events in a year). i need a graph that has the person as the vert axis and the horizontal axis needs to be the event numbers, so i can read down for the person and across to see how there handicaps change from each different event. i have attached the data below.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I am having a problem formatting a chart in Excel 2010. My chart has multi-level category axis labels, and I would like to have a vertical grid line separating each major group of categories. In Excel 2003, I could right-click on one of the gridlines and then specify the spacing I wanted between gridlines. In Excel 2010, as soon as I indicate that I want multi-level category axis labels, I get a vertical gridline between each category and I am unable to alter the spacing. If I deselect the multi-level axis label option, I can adjust the spacing between the vertical gridlines, but the axis multi-level label functionality is lost. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to using the drawing tools or text boxes to achieve the desired results.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 RelatedHow can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.
