Creating Many Excel Charts With A Macro?
Oct 21, 2011
I've got quite of few excel charts to make and have been looking for a way to automate the process. The chart types include line, pie, and bar. Basically, I have data for each state in the US that I am comparing with national level data. Thus each chart will have national level data and the data for each state. What I need is a macro that I can easily change the parameters for because different worksheets have slightly different layouts. I started by using the macro recorder to make a chart. Then I attempted to edit it so that it would run loops to make additional charts. Below is some sample data for the first worksheet I have and my attempted macro.
Sample Data:
Code:
State Characteristic Value07 Value08 Value09
Alaska A 11 23 45
Alaska B 13 22 98
Alaska C 99 91 21
Alabama A 23 14 11
Alabama B 44 62 76
Alabama C 75 47 21[code]....
This code doesn't run at all.

I've got a table which has additives in Column A and products on Row 1. There are 13 additives and 10 products. Each combination of product and additive has a price. So I have 130 different prices in my table. The prices change monthly and the new prices are added to the sheet so that last months prices will move to left so that the newest price data table is A1:J13 and previous month is K1:T13 and so on.
I need to make an individual chart to every combination which contains the history of the price changes. I have two cells (A20 and B20) where the user can pick a product and an additive (created a menu by using Data|Validation...). These selections are combined in a cell C20 (=A20&B20). Then I have a macro that is linked to the cell C20 and is basically Case Is = 1st combination --> Call Macro1, Case Is = 2nd combination --> Call Macro2 etc.
That macro will work out just fine, BUT is there any way I could make all the 130 charts easier? Now I've recorded a macro that creates the first chart and then I've just copy-pasted it, changed the attributes (cell numbers, names and so on) that define the data to the next charts. This will take ages...
Every combination will have at least 13 changes (12 monthly price cells and the name of the cart) so in total this will mean about 1500 manual changes. In my case this will mean a high danger of typos.
I know, it would be SO much easier if I could give you the Excel file to look at...hopefully you understood what I mean.
I'll only follow the changes within a year so prices older than a year will not be shown in the charts.

Now I need to create multiple pie charts based on data in tables on many sheets.
I need to create the same set of charts, for each sheet separately.
I recorded a macro for one sheet, which created following
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$2"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$D$6:$D$8"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6:$A$8"
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$6:$C$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$7:$C$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
However I cannot automate. I tried different methods for creating the charts, as found on the site [prefer .chartobjects.add(x,y,z,a) since I can immediately position the chart] , but get stuck at seriescollection everytime.
It looks like when the chart is created by XL (with suggested data in it) I cannot address the series data.
I got it right to generate a chartobject that is empty, then added the series data to it, but when opening the new chartobject, it is again populated with suggested data.
How do I generate an empty chartobject everytime, so I can insert seriescollection info with code?
Any other way to generate charts?

I've been using a VBA code to look through my spreadsheet and find any graphs in any tab and move it to powerpoint. I have about 70 tabs with 7 graphs each.
I have is that the order of the graphs in the slidepack isn't in the same as found on each excel tab.I also tried renaming them (chart1-chart7) but problem still remains.

I have following code which is not behaving the way I want.
[Code] ....
The problem is the last statement, a chart which gets created in an iteration does not "move" to a new sheet but rather same sheet. So end result is a sheet with chart of the last iteration.
How to get this code to create new charts in new sheet and not the same sheet.

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.

building dynamic charts and filters, so What I'm hoping to accomplish to build a bar chart that looks like the following:
________________________________________________
Filter: State | Filter: Region | Filter: Segment |
Revenues |||||||||||||||| + (% of Total Rev)
COGS ||||||||||| + (% of Total COGS)
Margin |||| + (% of Total Margin)
-------------------------------------------------------
My data is built in the following format on a different tab than the proposed chart:
State: | Region: | Segment: | Account: | Amount: |
MN | Midwest | Major | Revenues | $$$
MN | Midwest | Major | COGS | $$$
MN | Midwest | Major | Margin | $$$
MN | Midwest | Major | % of Total Revenues | %%%
MN | Midwest | Major | % of Total COGS | %%%
MN | Midwest | Major | % of Total Margin | %%%
[Code] ........
It seems like it'll be easy to use a pivotchart, but at the same time, there's a lot of formatting to do, which makes it tricky, especially if I have many states to deal with and the multiple combinations.

I have a dynamic set of data, loaded from a server. The columns are FIXED. I will attach a sample of how the data looks.
site_code
report_goup
asm_week
[Code].....
I don't know how to attatch a file here, but the first row is the title row, under it are the values. The columns here are fixed. What i NEED to do, is somehow create something that will make a seperate graph for every different PLATFORM , showing the FPY chaging over time. Time here is the weeks which will always be a rolling 12 weeks. I'm thinking that i need to use MACROS to do this, but i'm not sure where to start.

I want to find the number of similar values contained in a column based on a date range I specify.
I have a data set that's formatted like the following (you can see the full data set at [URL] but I've hidden the irrelevant columns and highlight the relevant ones)
[Code] .......
I want to use this data to create two types of graphs. One showing the ratio including all values in the Status column. There are 4 total (Open, Lost, Won, Won-Job Cancelled). I want another which excludes the "open" status from the ratio figure. I've create some images demonstrating what I want to accomplish at [URL] .....
Additionally, I want to be able to specificy date ranges for these charts. Specifically 0-30 days from todays date, 30-90 days and older than 90 days.
I want to accomplish this using Google Sheets (the latest version) and know how to use the graph total. It's just creating the data the way I need it which is proving to be the most challenging.

Macro for creating new excel work book based on Partner names.
I have a master file which contains 3 worksheets -
1 - Code Summary
2 - Labor
3 - Expense
On column "T" of code summary tab I have a list of Sales Partners. So I want a macro which will create a new workbook for every single Sales partner on Column "T" of code summary tab along with corresponding data from column A:T on code summary tab.
The macro should also take data from the other 2 tabs Labor and Expense for the respective Sales Partners. On Labor tab the partner info is on column "Y" and on Expense tab the partner info is on column "M". So the new file should be renamed after the Sales Partner and have 3 worksheets just like the master file.
Basically I have a master file which has data for all Sales Partners. I need individual files for each sales partner for sending to respective partners.

I have to enter data into a spreadsheet daily and update a line graph with the data for 10 different production machines. I want to place the charts on their own separate excel file that way they can be easily viewed without the data next to them. I tried copying and pasting the graphs to another excel spreadsheet, but when I update the graphs on the original excel file the data does not change on the one I copied the graphs to. I use the select data range option to update the line graph data. Basically, I just want both graphs to update at the same time on both spreadsheets, but the links don't seem to update. How would I link the graphs so that both update across files?

I have a simple problem. I have many worksheets which all contain data in the first four columns. I want to be able to create a chart (a scatter chart) in the first worksheet which plots the data on that worksheet and then format it how I want it to look. This I can do.
Next, I want to copy and paste that graph into all the other worksheets, but have the pasted graphs display the data in that worksheet.
As it stands, in Excel 2010, all the pasted graphs keep showing the data in the original worksheet irrespective of which worksheet I now have them in. This seems to be different to older versions of Excel and is very annoying and has to be changed by hand which is very time consuming.
How can I make charts that don't have the worksheet name in the cell reference, or how can I paste a chart so that is updates the references to the same row and column but in the new worksheet?
I know I could copy and paste the entire worksheet and then manually copy the new data into that copy of the worksheet - but that is not a real solution to this problem.

I need to transfer data to powerpoint from my '4 box' reports in excel.
Essentially copying everything in the range A40:U74 inc charts and paste them into a slide as a picture on the click of a macro button.
I have to do alot of reports like this for my project and it takes up alot of time copying and pasting etc.
I have seen different codes for this but they are either for charts only or text... the one i did see for both, didnt work at all.

I want to prepare a graph / chart for the column A and column B. Column A has headers and B has the data that I want to represent in the graphs. The real problem in this is that the two columns length is not fixed. For eg. for January Column A & B could have 5 rows of data but for February they could have 10 rows of data. I dont want to prepare the chart manually every month. I want that if we could apply any VBA coomands that could prepare the chart automatically irrespective of the rows count.

I am trying to write a macro that goes in an excel file that creates a powerpoint presentation, and puts four (4) charts in each slide.. I currently have a code that is pasting all of the charts in the same slide and I can't figure out why it isn't working (side note: I haven't attempted to resize or relocate the pictures on the powerpoint slides yet)..
Code:
'Add a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library by:
'1. Go to Tools in the VBA menu
'2. Click on Reference
'3. Scroll down to Microsoft PowerPoint X.0 Object Library, check the box, and press Okay
'keep button in same location
Set btn = ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton17")
With btn

I've prepared an excel file (excel 2007) with some tabs that contains several charts (4 to 6 charts). When I want to print this file, the sheets with the charts on it doesn't print properly. I have set the print area to cover the charts only and then set it to fit on 1 page but the charts will not scale to fit.
I read somewhere that this is an excel bug - is there a workaround for this?
I could resize all my charts smaller but only as a last resort.

I am trying to rename a chart in Excel 2013, but it keeps reverting my names. It looks like there might be a 32 character limit on the name length, but I cannot find any documentation supporting this.
In case it's not clear, I'm trying to rename a chart from Chart38 to "Productivity - Tractors CY/OP - Month", but once I press Enter, it changes back to Chart38. If I can shorten the name to less than 32 chars it seems to work, but that will be nearly impossible for some other charts.

I am building automated solutions where graphs source data is based on outcome of formulas. In case of line graphs I use #N/A as result if no data is available or formula results into an error - this way the data point and data label will not be shown in the graph.
However this does not work for bar graphs - with #N/A, #DIV/0, 0 or "" the bar itself is not shown but the data label is shown (as #N/A or 0). How can I set-up my formulas so that if result is 0 or formula is in error that the graph does not display the data label.
Attached excel file shows same data in 2 charts - 1 line chart (=OK) and 1 bar chart (=not ok). The data for chart is pulled from 2 other tabs (week&month) and merged into 1 data source for graphs.
