Creating Custom Legend For XY Scatter Plot?
Sep 30, 2013
I need a way to make a customized legend for a scatter plot, is there any way to do that through VBA? I have a scatter plot with some points highlighted green, and some points grey depending on the user selection and need to be able to create a legend based on what the user selects (e.g. Green - Category B, Grey - Category A, etc.).
For some reason I can't get Excel to rename points on the scatter, so I feel like there is only one option: create custom images and align them correctly with labels on the plot.

I need to create some vertical scatter plots ie where all the y values are in the same line, and also to put on the mean and standard deviation error bars, like the example I found below. I have managed to plot the scatter by giving all the y values in each group the same x value, but I don't know how to proceed.

I have charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use chartobjects(i).plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that.
Unfortunately when I set these values they still change and get antoher value, there is some scaling going on in Excel and I do not know where that comes from. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned.
De data for resizing the charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.
I show you my code, the part with the for-next is taken from the internet.
With ChtNew.legend
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.Legend.Height
.Left = ChtOrig.Legend.Left
.Width = ChtOrig.Legend.Width '* 1.1
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top + ChtOrig.ChartTitle.Top
End With

I got the following table and it generates a random number either 1 or 0 (win or loss)
trade win/loss Account value
0 10,000
rand() 1 0 9,800
rand() 2 1 11,000
rand() 3 1 12,000
rand() 4 0 11,500
Each time I press F9, the Account value changes because the win/loss is generated randomly. Assuming, I press F9 100 times, how do I create a scatter plot chart with a best line fit for all the account values. I know how to create the scatter plot but how do I save all the values everytime I press F9.

I have a list of interest rates and durations and was hoping to be able to add in a third dimension of data which would either increase the size of the plotted points or change their colour depending on the rating. So have the normal scatter plot then save me from editing each point manually.
i.e.
A1
B1
C1
D1
Interest Rate
Duration
Rating
3%
3.5
A+

I have a scatter plot with 150 points closely grouped. Enabling the label option clutters the graph. A cleaner way would be to hoveri the mouse over a data point and pop-up a box displaying it's value (x,y) as well as a label contained in an adjacent column.
Details:
The default functionality is that when the mouse hovers over a particular point the yellow pop-up box appears withData set label
Data point name "x"
Data point (x,y)
and one can choose to show "label-name-point" or just "point" by accessing the Tools-Options_Charts menu item. What I would like instead is to hover the mouse over a particular point and get the yellow pop-up box with the following functionalityData set label
Data point name "label"
Data point (x,y)
where the label is contained in an adjacent column in my data spreadsheet.
I read a post by Andrew Poulsom that stated it is probably not possible to customize the yellow pop-up baox and then offered some vba code to allow a mouse click to bring up a label. I was wondering how to implement this code in the spreadsheet. Also, does the graph have to be embedded in the worksheet "as object in", or can I use "As new sheet"?

I need to label points on an XY scatter plot with a different set of label points than those provided by simply assigning data labels (don't need series name or x and/or y values displayed but an additional field of data). I can't use an add in (work machine) and would like to do this without using macros.
The project has 4 fields
A B C D
plot# type x y
I need to label the XY points for each series (type) by their plot #. The attached image/file shows what I'm looking for (added plot # labels manually for sake of display, in reality there are >2000 plots so I cant do it manually.

Currently we have data that is plotted to a scatter plot along with an already defined line. Next, with a straight edge we attempt to draw a line parallel to the already defined line through the scatter points of data. We basically find two points that give us the best fit to the original line. What I attempted to do was calcualte the slope of the original line and then the slope of each combination of two points in the data set. I then subtracted the slopes, found the minimum difference and thought that would give me the line most parallel to the original. This doesn't seem to work. I'm at a loss, any advice?

I have a spreadsheet in which the amount of data is not predictable. There are always a different number of rows and columns in this spreadsheet. I need to be able to grab the data that is in it starting with B1 and going to the last row and column with data and put it into a scatter plot. The code that is currently in my macro is as follows:
ActiveSheet.Range("B1").CurrentRegion.Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("ForChart!$B$1:$J$1000")
Note: ForChart is the name of the sheet where the data is housed; I have other sheets in this macro.
I know that the last line is the problem. While I figured out how to select only the data I need, when it goes to put it into the chart, it's still using an absolute reference and I don't want that. There are sometimes more columns than J and fewer rows than 1000. I want that data range to be whatever CurrentRegion selected. Is that even something that Excel can do?

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.

In the attached spread sheet I have created a scatter plot. How can I label each of the markers with its appropriate label from Column A - the Company Ticker. When I right click to show data labels it brings back the incorrect column. Also is there a way once the labels are brought in to put them in the circle and so that the chart doesn't look too clumped together.

I am attaching the Excel File along with this mail. In chart there is data points have been mentioned in scatter plot like (38,15 etc) Instead of these points I want the names that I have mentioned in column A2:A9. I used to make lots of charts related to this and it is very diffilcult for me to manually punch all these names and most importantly the thing is that I cant download the software available on http://www.appspro.com due to some issues can you give me the VBA code for this which will automatically paste these names only I have to change is the data range and its very urgent................ASAP

What I'm aiming to be able to do is have a scatter plot that displays date labels for each point as well as distinguish the points by year by using different colors. I found a VBA code for scatter plot date labels and I also realize that (for me at least), the easiest way to distinguish the years by color would be to separate them with a logical statement and let the chart do the rest of the work by categorizing them as separate data ranges. However, I tried to do this with the VBA code that I found and it expectedly did not work. I'm not sure if it's an easy fix to just add more "xvalues" columns in the code or if what I want to do here is even possible.
Format and Code for the Date Labels:
Date Time
Rainfall (mm)
24 hr RDII Volume (L/ha/day)

I need to plot multiple series in a scatterplot. The problem is that the number of series is user-defined. And also, the number of data poitns in each series is different. I've looked it up already, but a lot of the examples i've seen don't account for the fact that I need to run through a loop and add series into my graph.
In other words, i need a way to select a certain range each time it runs through the loop, and add the data as a series into the chart. Also, the user enters how many series there are, so I use that as a counter

I have a couple of points, and when i do a scatter plot with connected by smooth line plot, it seems like excel does a bezier splines interpolation. I am wondering am i able to extract the data plots from the data chart?
for example if i have
X - Y
0 - 5
180 - 0
360 - 5
I would like to have all datas of Y from X (0 - 360 degree every degree).

What I want to achieve is a script that would create a new scatter plot of multiple series from a selected block of cell. I found a thread that was similar but what is different from my data is that my x values are different for each series.
The format of the data is in the following format, the first series will the first x,y pair, the 2nd series would be the second x,y pair. I don't know if it'll be an issue but one thing is that the date might be different lengths. For instance, the 3rd series, only has 4 data points, whereas the other series contains 6 data points?
x0.200.400.600.801.001.20
y5.002.501.671.251.000.83
x0.100.200.300.500.701.30
y5.002.501.671.000.710.38
x0.100.300.400.50
y6.672.221.671.33
So essentially, is there a way I can have the script say, select your range, and then graph the selected range as a scatter plot?

I have to create a chart XY Scatter plot in excel. I have to differentiate the data points color based on the another column "category". Now I can change the data points color manually. Since the number of points is huge, is it possible to color the data points based on a column?

I'm using Excel 2008 for Mac & cannot figure out how to add a data label to an XY scatter plot that comes from a 3rd, separate column.
I have 3 columns of data: (A,B,C)
Labels, X values, Y values
When I select the Data Source for the Chart, there is a greyed out box for Category X axis labels, which is where I remember such information going in PC versions of Excel I used to use.
From the formatting palette, the only options to select for labels add the values of column B, but I need the reference from column A.
I'm not familiar with macros or visual basic. How to add these labels? This is Mac, Excel 2008.

I have a text file which is attached as "rawdata". It contains records of something (let's call it temperature) at different times on different days. My goal is to display a graph of temperature versus time so that I can visually analyze trends. I have hundreds of these files, all of different lengths. it is very important that I automate this process as much as possible.
Detail: (Here I describe what I have done so far; if this is inefficient or unnecessary, feel free to tell me) I open Excel 2010, click File, Open, and select the file that I want to parse. It is a TXT file, so the Text Import Wizard comes up. For step one, I select Fixed Width. I select File Origin: MS-DOS (PC-8). On step 2 of the wizard, I create column break lines to place all dates in the far left column. The next column contains the first column of numbers before the first dash (-). The next column contains only the dash - I will later select "ignore this column" to eliminate them. The next column contains the time stamps. I continue adding column breaks in the wizard until all of the data are parsed into columns in the same manner.
In step 3, I format the first column as "date (DMY)". The columns with the dashes I select "do not import". Everything else is "general". I click "finish", and the resultant workbook is attached, called "import".
Now, as to what I want to do: I want to display the "temperatures" as a graph vs a date/time axis. The reason I find this difficult is because the temperatures and times are not in neat columns, but are in 4 columns that go in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression and are broken up every few lines. (I am interested only in numbers that are displayed immediately to the left of a time-stamp. Therefore, the "record #"s should be ignored. We can delete the rows that say "record #" if can be done automatically.)

I'm trying to format the plot area of a X-Y scatter chart in a three colour gradient (Green, Yellow & Red).
The trick is, I would like the green portion to be centred in a user defined place on the plot with the yellow radiating from it, and the red radiating from the yellow. Ideally I would like to define some stops for the green as a user defined shape, with stops for the yellow outside the green stops (like the % stops you get in a vertical or angled gradient, but instead of the stops being simple straight lines or concentric circles from the middle, they would be user defined shapes).
I can do the normal types of gradient, but have no idea how to customise them in this way.

I am importing a text file and plotting some of its contents versus time. The file provides the end time and the step interval. I know that in Matlab you can define a set of values with the start, end, and interval, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with VBA. I have toyed with fill series, but no luck there.
Specifically, the file I'm reading in (a relay event file with voltages and currents) gives the maximum cycles as 15 and the samples per cycle as 16. Therefore, for each voltage or current sample, I need the time to show as 1/16, 2/16, 3/16, ..., all the way to 15 cycles. I have tried to manually do this and record the macro, but after I put in a few x/16s, when I try to extend the formulas down the rest of the cells, instead of continuing the trend (4/16, 5/16, 6/16, etc.), it repeats what I put in first.

I am trying to create a scatterplot from some data I have. I attempt this by selecting multiple columns using Ctrl and clicking on the letters above. This results in it plotting only the first selected column on the Y axis with only 1 2 3... on the X axis.
When I however select multiple columns by clicking on a column and dragging to more columns it does plot as I would expect with the first column as X values and the rest Y values.
I know it is possible to create a graph and add data manually but this is way slower and I think that it should be able to be done differently.
I'm using excel 2010.

I'm looking at what appears to be a custom chart. It is a box divided into 4 equal quadrants. In each quadrant is a percentage with the total equaling 100%. In each of the quadrants there is fill equal to the percent that is numerically written in that quadrant. I'll post a picture with this, but if I was talking cells then....
A1 = 15% B1 = 66%
A2 = 4% B2 = 15%
The backround image behind the number is filled up by volume equal to the percentage indicated. They are also color coded with red representing the highest percentage quadrant filled.
To top that, there are little arrows along the sides of each quadrant indicating an average score.
My first question is WHAT TYPE OF CHART IS THIS THING!, and second can this be done in excel?

I want to create a custom format for a cell for entering in "cup measurements". I want to be able to type in 5, 1/4, 1/16, etc. and have the word "cups" appear after the number in that cell. I formatted the cell to say the word cups after typing in the numbers in my cell using the code "cups".
ex: 0 "cups" works fine for whole number
so then if i change it to 0/0 "cups" is works great for only 1/8 but not 1/16 or whole numbers. Then I looked at other custom codes that already existed in my formatts so I attempted to try this code which I just kinda came up with
_(0/00);_(0);_(0/0); "cups"
well it isn't doing what I want and If I use the 0/00 "cups code and I type in 4 cups the cell then says 4/01 cups.
What does my code need to be for me to show whole numbers and and size fraction without having it look weird?
