Countif Statement With NA Results For Chart / Bar Graph?
Mar 14, 2014
I have a countif statement based on certain criteria in a table which is reading off of a drop down list on a separate sheet.
Apple (a1) =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A1) ...and the results are 3
Pear (a2) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A2) ..and the results 0
Banana (a3) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A3) ...and the results are 1
I have also set up a bar graph (this may change to a pie chart at some point) which is feeding from this. My question is, if I do not want to any results with 0 value to show up on my chart (both on the X&Y axis), how do i amend the formula to do this? I read in a couple of places about the NA() function or about just hiding the rows, but if this chart is updated "live"on a weekly or monthly basis, I would like to chart to move with the data simultaneously...so the numbers will change, sometimes they will be 0, others they may not.

I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.

I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

I have attached a copy of my spreadsheet .My formula is in column BA and I am trying to figure out which students have 5 A* - C. We are only allowed to add 2 vocational subjects to this formula so basically 3 (or More) GCSEs + 2 BTEC/OCR Nationals. Now my formula works pretty well except if the candidate has 4 GCSEs and 0 or 1 BTEC it is still calculating as though the candidate has achieved 5 A* - C.
I have highlighted GCSE Subj in pink and Vocational Subj in Puple.

I am trying to track the number of "F"s within a cell and I'm sure that I'm using the formula correctly -
=COUNTIF(I2:I29,"F").
When I use the insert function feature to walk through setting up the function step-by-step - I see the count once I type in the criteria - however, when I hit 'Ok' the count doesn't appear in the cell - the formula appears. I have cut and pasted the entire worksheet into a new spreadsheet, the problem remains.

Excel 2010 windows 8
I am in need of a formula to count filtered results. On Sheet1 (Job Flow) the user enters data continually . The most important is the Date in column D some measurements in columns N,O & P that gives a result as a code, example s15020 or c3005 in column Q. A vlookup is then pulls up a price for the code.
On sheet two Column A There is a list of all the codes. I need a formula that will give a count in column B for the amount of codes that was entered in to the data base "sold" for a date filtered time period, be it a week, month or year. In other words the codes in ,column A sheet 2, should reflect the amount of units for the time filter on page1.

creating a multiple if statement. I have 3 columns in Sheet 1 called "Raw Data". Column A is dates, Column B is Clients and Column C is Products. I want to count the number of products sold to a specific client on a specific date. In Column A, the are multiple dates repeated as there are different sales reps so i have the dates repeated several time.
the current formula i am using is:
=COUNTIFS('Raw Data'!$A:$A="2013/01/01",'Raw Data'!$B:$B,="MotorCity",'Raw Data'!$C:$C,="Cars")
the problem is that i keep getting 0 as a value. If i remove the Date as a variable, the formula works. I just cant seem to count multiple criterias if the date is one of them.

In s74 I have the formula
=COUNTIFS(C:C,"Holiday Inn Express Limerick",I:I,1)
And it gives me a count of 21. Is there a way where I can use conditional format to highlight those 21 instances?

I am trying to have a cell in sheet "Summary" count the number of cells in column DX of sheet "Analyses" that are greater than 0, provided that the value in column A of "Analyses" corresponds with the value in B8 of sheet "Summary."
(In "Analyses," there are 106 subjects, each taking up 64 rows. So, columns 1-64 correspond to Subject 1, columns 65-128 correspond to subject 2, etc. In column DX, each subject has 64 values that are either 0 or greater than 0. In "Summary," each subject has one row that summarizes the 64 trials. I want a single cell in the "Summary," sheet to reflect the number of times each subject produces a value greater than 0 in column DX of "Analyses.") I tried using this formula, but it did not work correctly:
=COUNTIF(IF(Analyses!$A$1:$A$10000=Summary!B8,Analyses!$DX$1:$DX$10000,""),">0")
(Summary!B8 = 1, so I am trying to calculate the number of values in DX that are greater than 0 only for subject 1.) When I press enter, this yields a value of 384. This is impossible, given that subject 1 only has 64 possibilities of yielding a value greater than 0. Subject 1 has 2 values in column DX that are greater than 0. I tried making this an array formula by pressing Shift+Ctrl+Enter, and that just gives me a #VALUE! error.

I have created some charts for my work and one of them is a line chart that spreads across one year with values for each month. Well they want the graph to always show one month ahead of where we are out. So there is actuals in for Sep. but then the line graph drops all the way to 0 for Oct. I don't want to have the graph bottom out when there is a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I was tracking down simple ways to generate ASCII character based bar charts and came across this stunningIncellBarChartExample where the author suggested this can be done using VBA code.
I am very new to Excel and EXCEL VBA. Can someone help me sketch how the coding for the above example (include mixed colors) might be done? Is there a special font that need to be used?

I need to plot percentages over time in a line graph in excel. I don't want to have to do a percentage equation in the spreadsheet, I just want excel to take two sets of values and display the percentage in the chart. For example, I need B1 as a percentage of B2 for week 1, C1 as a percentage of C2 for week 2, etc....

Here is a sample of my data in the column starting at I2:
1600 (I2)
57000 (I3)
256000 (I4)
5700000 (I5)
I want to sort results so that the adjacent column gives a ranking code of "A" , "B" , "C" or "F"
my requiremetns are:
iF I2 = less than 65,500 then "A"
IF I2 = 65001 - 250000 then "B"
If I2 = 250001 - 1,000,000 then "C"
If I2 > 1,000,000 then F
The folks at "A" are above average, "B" are average, "C" below aveage with significant concerns and "F" are Critical nonformance, immediate action required.
Of course I plan to copy the formula down the range.

I have a range that contains a mixture of hard coded data and data pulled from a database sheet. I want to average only the hard coded data not the ones in the cells containing formula. I need this to be dynamic instead of just selecting the cells as formula might be added later on.

I am using the formula below to count the occurences of relevant text strings (names) in a cell that can contain many separate strings. It works great. "References!$F$2:$F$34" contains my list of names and the formula returns how many occurences there are in each cell.
What i'd like to do know is work in a date criteria. Each name has an associated relevant date attached to it as does each cell that I am looking for these names in.
So...in english what Id like to do is alter my formula so that when it finds a text string that exists in "References!$F$2:$F$34", it then compares the associated date in "References!$G$2:$G$34" with the date associated with N3 which happens to be O3.
SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(N3,"*"&References!$F$2:$F$34&"*"))

Is it possible to create a chart using spherical coordinates (radius, theta, phi) in Excel? I want to create something similar to this. I would even be willing to write add-in code to create the graph from scratch, but I don't know if that's possible. Is it possible to create a new chart type without using the other chart types as a base?

I am trying to figure out how to activate a macro from each item in a drop down list. I also need the macro to recognize which item is chosen and to use that items data (say cells C3:C11) to create its graph. I know how to create an individual macro that will create a graph for the item but not a general macro that can be used to graph all items just discerning the difference in where the data is (which item to graph). Is this possible????if so please include code (amatuer programmer).

I'm trying to graph a bell curve chart using the following data
Hotels per state
Total
AK
4
NH
5
[Code] ......
As you can see I have states and the number of hotels per state what I need not for statistical purposes but more for "pretyness" is to sort this data in a way that what you get is a somewhat of a bell shape curve graph.

Sub Extract()
Dim myFileName As Variant
Dim SourceWkbk As Workbook
Dim CurrentWkbk As Workbook
Dim testWks As Worksheet
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("CURRENCIES").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
