see attached image. Chart is recognizing the 20 dates but not using the real dates listed in the column. Changed settings multiple ways to try to get it to use the actuals - no luck. I realize 'month's is checked in the image - but I tried 'days' and still no luck. What needs to be changed to make it report actuals listed in the 2 columns?
View 3 RepliesI have a macro that searches and replaces dates (both text and date formats) in all files in a folder. It works if I initiate it from the VBA Editor, but not if I initiate it from the file.
It seems that the worksheet is not activating. Please take a look and let me know what I can try.
Things I have already tried: Window methods, such as minimizing the workbook that contains the macro, activate next, etc. Also putting the macro in Personal.xls and retrieving the values from the other file.
Where it hangs is right after the first workbook in the folder is opened. I tried to get it to select A1 in the active sheet but that cell is not selected in either the macro workbook or the newly opened workbook.
Also, if there is an easy way to exclude my macro file (name contains ZZZZ) from the FileSearch............
I have 200+ XY pairs I want to chart and see a visual representation of their distribution. Then I want to cursor over exceptional points and see their identity. I don't need (nor want) data labels, disparate markers, nor a legend. I just want the points scattered on the xy plane. Also, the data set changes depending on user-controllable filter criteria.
There are two problems:
1. If I build it through the wizard as a single data series, everything is fine except that the charting process seems to replace the X value of the XY pair with a sequence number once I swap in a new data set, and ...
2. I seem to loose the individual point identities for cursor-over purposes.
The only solution I can think of for these issues is making each XY pair a one-point Series, but that's a hugely laborious way to do it. If that's it though, is there a way to globally load the independent data series and set every data point marker and color to be the same?
However, if I could do it as a single series, then I still have the issues above. Is there a way to prevent Excel from converting the X values to sequence numbers once a new data set is swapped in, and is there a way to identify the individual points for cursor-over?
I have an 8 character number that I am trying to segment and change into a date.
The current format is: YYYYMMDD, for example 20071003 (today's date)
I am would like to change it to read 10/03/2007 or another easily identifiable date format.
I have 04/02/08 12:00:01 AM (mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss AM/PM) in text format in a cell. I need to convert this to date/time custom format as given above so that I can make comparisons with NOW() output.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to display only the current month and the past 11 months in a Line Chart in Excel? So if I was to print Jan 2008 Excel graph, it would only display Feb 2007 - Jan 2008 data charting.
The spreadsheet of the data contains data for Jan 2005 - Jan 2008 so far, but only the current month with the past 11 months should display in the line chart depending on what is the current month.
In cell J20 I have the value
'1/25/2010
I need to convert it to its date value.
I solved it with the formula:
=DATE(MID(J20,FIND("/",J20,FIND("/",J20,1)+1)+1,4),LEFT(J20,FIND("/",J20,1)-1),MID(J20,FIND("/",J20,1)+1,FIND("/",J20,FIND("/",J20,1)+1)-FIND("/",J20,1)-1))
Can this be achieved by a shorter formula?
look at the attached file - it was a CSV file. i want to convert the column of dates to say Mar 14 2009 type date. but it only converts some of them.
note some are on the left and some on the right.
I have been trying to create a report that involves three conditions, but so far I have had no luck using SUM and IF conditions to do this.
I have attached a file with an example of what I would need. Basically, I would need the "Resolved" and "In-Progress" quantities filled in below the "Country Report" for each respective country.
The attached workbook has dates in column C, although some of these dates are just strings.
I'm trying to write some vba that will tell me how many of the cells in column C contain a date (or looks like a date) that is greater than (after) the real date in cell G1.
At the moment I loop through the cells in column C and can ascertain, which dates can be counted, then copy one row over at a time, but I'm looking for a slicker (perhaps one-liner) answer, perhaps by copying a block of rows in one go. The aim is to copy those rows to another sheet. There are many more rows than in the attached, and many sheets to process, and I have no control over the format of the dates/strings in column C. Currently it takes about 20 seconds to copy over the necessary rows, but I'm looking for it to happen much more quickly; current thoughts are to sort on column C (sorting on column C anything that looks like a number as a number - which has it's own problems!), have a count of dates satisfying the criterion (say using a worksheet formula such as COUNTIF or SUMPRODUCT, perhaps also using EVALUATE) then copy a block of rows in one go.
not very relevant, but the existing code is something like this which highlights rather than copyies the rows(included in the attached): ...
So I've got a workbook with three main sheets: Pipe, Fittings, Report. In the pipe sheet I've got 8 charts that are all the same but they're for pricing different types of pipe. I want to assign each line in all charts a category and then in the reports tab have a chart that will add all the prices from all charts in each category. I've tried using the VLOOKUP function but I can't seem to get it to work. I can attach the spreadsheet here if that would make things easier.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a 2-column employee file. Column A has the employee id and column B has the manager's employee ID. The reporting layers can get pretty deep. In this example, there are 6 layers of reporting. For example, Employee id 1200 (which is not in column A) has 2 employees. One of them (1712) has several employees, one of whom (1680) has employees reporting to them and so on for several levels.
Is there a way in Excel (2003 or 2007) to summarize the reporting structure? For instance, I need to know all of the employees that report up through emp id 1712 - not just that report directly to 1712, but all those under 1712's tree.
I'm trying to figure out how to get Excel 2003 to report a value from a
separate column where the value reported by a MIN or MAX function
occurs. For example, say this is my setup:
Column A: time
Column B: value 1
Column C: value 2
I want to create a function using the MIN and MAX functions for cell
ranges in either column B or column C plus I want the value that
corresponds to the MIN or MAX value from column A. Basically, I have
data in columns B and C that occurs at times listed in column A. I not
only need to know the MIN and MAX values for certain ranges in columns B
and C but also the times at which these values occur (across hundreds
and hundreds of values with multiple MINs and MAXs, so this is not
something I want to do manually across multiple workbooks).......

I have a data validation list in a different cell that reports the texts in Column A without repetition.

I run a store, and currently we handwrite all of our reciepts - and then implement them into a "Sales Sheet" on Microsoft Excel. From there we can monitor monthly sales and targets - coincide what we are selling, and figure sellthroughs etc etc.
To make life easier I am looking at typing out reciepts in Excel - within the same workbook as the "Sales Sheet". I would save each reciept as a separate sheet, and would like to know if it is possible to somehow copy data from the "Reciept" worksheet to the "Sales Sheet" worksheet??
So I have a graph with years present on the x-axis. I'm trying to format the axis from the years 1913-2012 (right now it's like 1900-2020). In the minimum and maximum range in the 'format axis' box these dates are listed as values instead of years (0-45,000). Is there a way to make these boxes just represent the years so i don't have to convert 1913 to the excel number equivalent?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple piece of code that creates a chart using the the values in column A as the x-axis and the values in column E as the y-axis. The values in Column A are all dates in this format: mm.dd.yyyy. However, when I collect the x-values they always appear as numbers (1,2,3). Even if I format the axis to Dates, they appear as 1.00.1900, 1.02.1901, etc.
Here is the code (also, I would like a VBA solution but if this is with excel's chart tools, so be it).
Code:
Sub Macro2()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.addChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=""Rate of Productivity"""
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$4"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Sheet1'!$E$2:$E$4"
End Sub
I have some weekly data that I need to produce a graph from (100% Stacked Column). Each time I create the graph using the dates as the x axis i only get a thin line which looks like it represents one day, the other space looks like it is for the other 6 days of the week. I know that you could add an apostrophe to the beginning of the date but this is to be an automated report.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 page excel book, 2003, that runs a vlookup off a list from the 2nd page of the workbook. It is a long listing of information. It returns successful info in most of the cases, but in some instances it returns #n/a in one instance where it returned the correct info in others as in:
12345 = dog
12346 = cat
12345 = #n/a
Some instances don't report the corerct info at all while others only report the correct info some of the time like above where 12345 = dog and in some cases it doesn't turn out dog as the anser to the vlookup.
Assuming the below performance report:
Day 1
Actual 1
Target 1
Achieve 1/1 = 100%
Day 2
Actual 1
Target 1
Achieve 1/1 = 100%
Day 3
Actual 9
Target 10
Achieve 9/10 = 90%
Which method do you use to report the Achievement for the 3 days?
1. Do you take the average of 100%,100%,90% to give 97%
OR
2. Do you sum Actual (Day1+Day2+Day3 = 11) / Target (Day1+Day2+Day3 =12) to give 92%
I operate a small music management company and I run my accounts using relatively complex Excel Workbooks with different sheets for purchase and sales ledgers, cash in and cash out etc etc. Each financial year has its own workbook. My problem is creating financial reports. For example, if I need to create a report for outgoings and incomings relating to a particular project (a concert tour for example), and if that project was split over several financial years, I find myself spending hours creating pivot tables, and then pivot tables based on other pivot tables etc etc, to just get a clean report on that particular project. What I would love to have is a single report generating system, where I can just enter the name of the project, and get a financial report at the click of a button, based on all the raw data I have painstakingly entered in the individual workbooks and sheets. I reckon I'm too busy to sit down and tackle VBA programming myself, so I wondered if anyone knew of any third party software that might help me realise my dream simply and easily. Someone has already mentioned Crystal Reports, but I don't know whether this will be overkill.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list of all my products in the "Price Listing" sheet organised by a 3 level tree structure (small range of products shown in excel file attached).
I am trying to create a way of getting this list into an organised way (via macro) so that I can print this off and give to my customers. Sheet 1 shows an example of how it might look after the macro is run using the tree structure. I have tried to use pivot tables with no success.I am currently creating this manually each month and updating all new products, then running the prices for each customer but it is taking far to lonng to create the master sheet.
Different customers have different prices and I want to create a price list so I can get someone in the office to output the file to excel, run this macro and create the file without me having to put alot of work into each one, or even be in the office while they are creating this.
Is it possible to create a table of contents for the completed result using either seperare sheets, text formatting
I have 3 different series: S, J, and D. Each series has a list of different dates, and I need to plot the results for each date, while comparing the 3 series. I have created 3 different charts to display the results for each series - list of dates. However, I'd really like to chart all 3 series on one chart, so that you can see how the 3 compare.
I believe my obstacle is that the list of dates are not consistent between the 3. I tried to get around this by creating one table with all the dates, and leaving blanks where necessary (on Sheet 2). However, this created a problem because the blanks showed on the charts as 0s.
I am trying to create a chart with dates from the past 6 weeks (one week at a time). The horizontal axis shows the dates from my data page correctly until I make one of the other data fields a secondary axis and then my dates change from the actual dates on the data page to 1-Jan-00, 2-Jan-00, through 6-Jan-00.
When I do the select data and look at the dats in the Horizontal Axis labels box, it shows the real dates. Why won't they show up on the chart as actual dates?
I have data that shows titles as 2-Feb, 2- Mar; which is really typed in as 2/5/2012 and 3/15/2012. My chart when graphed keeps showing the X-axis as 1-FEB and 1-MAR. How can I get the graph to show the x-axis titleas as 2-Feb and 2-Mar?

I have searched for a 'simple' solution to this but I only ever seem to find complex and indepth examples.
I summarise web hit information then chart it so I can look for trendlines. I get good info from the stat company so I can see where folk are coming from, search engine, weblink etc etc.
Once I have summarized it I have date running along the column headers then it is broken down through the rows so I have
Total Hits
Total Paid Advertising
Total Search Engine
And so on for my rows
As the days go on the data gets harder and harder to read so I was hoping I could use some kind of OFFSET function to select my data. So if my dates run from 2/11/07 to today I would like to perhaps say to Excel that I might want to see 20/11/07 to 20/12/07 in my chart.
I have plenty space to put the start and end date and I have a basic block of data.
Is there anyway for a chart to show only a certain range, ie the past 12 months, without having to update the range every month?
We need to show our scrap rate over the last 3 years. At the end of every month we add a new line. When we enter the number of pieces scrapped for this month I want the chart to drop the number scrapped in January '07
selecting dates and data and makinga graph
and thought I could learn this one myself. I was wrong. Andy Pope came up with a nice little spreadsheet but I could not follow it (being a novice).
The problem is, I want the user to be able to input a start date and an end date and a graph to update automatically between these dates (for the x-axis) but also the y data adjust to suit.
The input cells are C23 and C30, and the 5 Y-axis data are the coloured columns.
