Discontinuous Time Series Charts
Apr 21, 2008
I just joined ozgrid and this is my very first post. I have read the rules but spare me if I make some errors.
My question is related to plotting time series charts using VBA. I have data in the following format.
04/21/08 9:04:47 4.5055
04/21/08 9:04:48 4.5055
04/21/08 9:04:49 4.5055
04/21/08 9:04:49 4.5055
04/21/08 9:04:50 4.5055
04/21/08 10:05:00 3.5055
04/21/08 10:05:32 3.5055
04/21/08 10:05:40 3.5055
04/21/08 10:05:48 3.5055
04/21/08 10:05:51 3.5055
04/21/08 11:07:59 5.5055
04/21/08 11:09:00 5.5055
04/21/08 11:10:01 5.5055
04/21/08 11:11:02 5.5055
04/21/08 11:13:08 5.5055
04/21/08 11:14:11 5.5055
04/21/08 11:15:16 5.5055
The column on the left is NOW() output and the one on the right is data corresponding to the given date and time. You may interpret the above data as snapshots taken at regular time intervals.
Now what I want to do is make a chart with the above data. Where ever there is a break in the snapshots, represented by a blank line, I want the graph to jump to the next data point much as the way stock prices move from the closing price to the opening price on the next day. I am not able to figure how to do that. Since I want the x-axis to represent time, using scatter charts does not work since the intervals are not proportional to the time then.

I have a chart with 5 different series. Instead of editing each one, say the marker size, is there anyway I can change the marker size for all of the different series at the same time?

i am trying to add 50 new data series and it takes hell of a lot of time to do it manually.
Sub Macro6()
Dim total As Integer
Dim Taper As Integer
Taper = 2
Do Until total < 100
total = total + 1
Taper = Taper + 1
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(" Chart 3").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlBubble
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Total").XValues = "=Data!R" & Taper & "C6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Total").Values = "=Data!R" & Taper & "C8"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Total"). Name = "=Data!R" & Taper & "C9"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Total").BubbleSizes = "=Data!R" & Taper & "C7"
Loop
End Sub

I have a chart with coloring for specific series sets. When I create a similar chart, can I copy the formatting from one range to the other? Why does it default to certain styles?

I have a combination column and line chart with the line series on the secondary axis. Is there a way that I can tell excel to scale the secondary axis so as the line always appears above the columns? As it is it appears above in most instances but sometimes appears below the columns.

The charts I received have many Series formulas that reference and external spreadsheet
Is there a way that I can modify them and reference the same sheet name but locally
For your information
When selecting menu Formulas and then "Show Formulas" chart data series do not display
When selecting a Chart the "Show Formula" selection is not available (at least I did not find it)
In addition, when selecting the Chart, Then Design, then "Select Data", it replies in the pop-up with the comment "The data range is too complex to be displayed...."
There are about 40-60 formulas as shown below!!
The sheet name with data is D_Brand_Q
HTML Code:
' here is a sample of the current formula
=SERIES('C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$1,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$E$197:$E$218,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)
' This is the desired formula
=SERIES(D_Brand_Q!$CC$1,D_Brand_Q!$E$197:$E$218,D_Brand_Q!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)

I have used named ranges to make a chart automatically adjust to a changing list of products in one column, but I do not know how to do this with multiple series. If I want to add products to this table, how can I make my chart dynamically adjust multiple series?
So the chart range is currently E5:H10. But I would need it to go beyond row 10 when I add new items.
Sheet1
*EFGH5*Week 1Week 2Week 36Product 11,234,123 1,258,805 1,283,982 7Product 21,234,223 1,258,907 1,284,086 8Product 33,423,321 3,491,787 3,561,623 9Product 4342,121 348,963 355,943 10Product 52,343,424 2,390,292 2,438,098

i have a chart on a worksheet, it contains multiple series (3) in which i wish to change the values/ range of each series of the chart through vba. Thus far i have struggled due to the lack of intellisense, in which i tried
Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(2).Chart.Series("Fails").Values = Range("b12:b14")
with "Fails" being the name of that particular series.

I am applying for a job as an executive assistant and before the interview I have to complete a "test." I am having trouble with one direction. Here is the question:
"10.Apply series name and legend key in data labels to the Star data series. "
I have included what I think is the correct answer, but I am not sure. It is under the column chart sheet.

I'm trying to use VBA to automatically change the data displayed in an excel chart. To do this I count the number of items displayed on the chart using Chart.Seriescollection.Count. I then loop over the Chart.Seriescollection(x) and try to change the Chart.Seriescollection(x).Formula string to link to the cells I want.
Problem is that, sometimes, the cells the curve is currently linked to are empty. Such a curve does show up in the Count, but I can't access the .Formula, even though this can be done manually from within Excel.

I'm trying to select a discontinous range, lets say B2:B30 & D2:D30 and this works fine using the code below:
Range("B2:B30,D2:D30").Select
However if I use the code below, B2:D30 is selected including column C.
Dim LastRow As Integer
LastRow = Range("a65536").End(xlUp).row
Range("B2:B" & LastRow, "D2:D" & LastRow).Select

I'm trying to calculate and average using a time frame in the day. I want to use a certain number "X" that correlates to a hour/minute in the current time. How do I write a statement to get me the correct "X" value?
example:
8:00 .005
8:01 .006
8:02 .0075
8:03 .0077
8:04 .008
time now is 8:03
How do I get the .0077 in excel?

I've got two time series (growth rates: what was the forecast for any particular year and what was actual growth rate for that year). I need to compare them to flag those most different. Actually I want to check the accuracy of the forecast. What would be the best function to do it?

I attached the excel file with two time series data next to each other – the price and an indicator data. I have to automatically identify when the two time series DIVERGE from each other. Diverging occurs when the price makes a new high and the indicators doesn’t make a new high (called “bearish divergence”) and also when the price makes a new low and the indicator doesn’t make a new low (called “bullish divergence”). I attached the two pictures I made to demonstrate these two divergencies.
To spot the divergencies one would go through the price data – finding new highs and lows and then compare each consecutive high and low with the corresponding reading on the indicator field to see if it is also making new high or low. There would be a minimum and the maximum of data points to look back – that would ideally be configurable from a separate input cell. The problem is that I do not know how in principle such task should be approached - is it best to make a macro or can this be done through a series of formulas each building upon the previous?

I want to create VBA code, or a formula that achieves MaxIf across a Discontinuous Range.
I already have the basic Max If array formula which works in another place:
{=MAX(IF(EditAsset_MaintenanceType="Scheduled Maintenance",EditAsset_MaintenanceDateUndertaken))}
Where each named range is a column of 20 continuous cells.
This actually sits within a larger formula {=IF(MAX(IF(EditAsset_MaintenanceType="Scheduled Maintenance",EditAsset_MaintenanceDateUndertaken))=0,EditAsset_DatePurchased+(EditAsset_MaintenanceCycle*30.4167),MAX(IF(EditAsset_M aintenanceType="Scheduled Maintenance",EditAsset_MaintenanceDateUndertaken))+(EditAsset_MaintenanceCycle*30.4167))}
Now I need to achieve a similar thing, but in a master list of all the data which necessitates a different layout so the data can't be in 2 columns, and can't be continuous. So:
Max the dates in cell BE7, BI7, BM7, BQ7, BU7, BY7, CC7, CG7, CK7, CO7, CS7, CW7, DA7, DE7, DI7, DM7, DQ7, DU7, DY7, EC7...
...IF the value of the corresponding cell two columns to the left of each is "Scheduled Maintenance",
e.g. cells BC7, BG7, BK7, BO7, BS7, BW7, CA7, CE7, CI7, CM7, CQ7, CU7, CY7, DC7, DG7, DK7, DO7, DS7, DW7, EA7
I tried creating 2 named ranges (one for the cells in each bullet point above) and using that in the array formula, but that didn't work and as this formula needs to go down 8,000 rows it would require 16,000 named ranges which isn't really practical.
Ideally I think I would perform this calculation in VBA and just output the answer to the relevant cell. [The VBA code will be triggered via a Worksheet_Change event when one of the date cells, or the 'maintenance cycle' cell elsewhere is changed].
I think this could be done by taking the values from the cells above into two arrays, and then 'max if' those arrays within VB somehow - but I don't know how to create the arrays or then perform 'max if' within VBA.
Alternatively a formula would suffice - I could insert this formula into the output cell via the VBA Worksheet_Change event when an input cell (date or maintenance cycle) is changed, and then have the same VBA code copy this cell and paste the value - can't have up to 8,000 array formulas live in my sheet for performance reasons! But I don't think this will be easily possible via a formula and VBA would be cleaner.

I have a series of up to 40 or so entries for given dates. These entries are categorised by either "bid" or "offer" and I'm trying to find a way to chart them both using a pivot table. I'm stuck as it seems that a pivot can only count the number of bids and offers on any given day, but it cannot differentiate between them.
Note: that the original list the pivot depends on will constantly be updated so I can't just develop a custom chart.
I've attached a spreadsheet with an example of what I'm playing with. Pivot graph is in "PIVOT" worksheet, data is in "DATA".

I am trying to plot two data series in one chart. The first series has monthly corn prices for last 10 years (~130 data points). The second series has bimonthly chicken prices over the last 10 years ( ~72 points). How can I plot them together?
The bi-monthly periods for the second series do not exactly coincide with calender months ( e.g. Aug 19 to Oct 13, 2007). As a result, I can not adjust the points to match with calender months.

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet for irrigation system program times. Each program has a start time, say 2 a.m. Multiple zones then run for varying times in a cycle. I need to add the run time to the start time to produce the next start time, and continue that through many zones. I can get the first few by simply formatting the cells as ##:## and using =F2+G2 (the start time is in F and the run time is in G) using 20 minute run time as a test. But when it gets to the third zone, my results show 2:60 a.m. and all results are incorrect from there on. Is there any way to do what I need in Excel?

I have been browsing here off and on, and have found many excellent answers. I use Excel to process data on time series, as an adjunct to consultancy work on statistical analysis of industrial data . Usually the data has irregular gaps, e.g., daily data might have 2-10 day gaps. If I want to take, say, 7-day averages, SKIPPING OVER gaps longer than 2 days(say), is there an easy way to do this (I don't really know VBA,and it is not worth my time to try and write long code for this, which will eventually be done by some professional programmers)!

i have a time series of data at one hour interval ( from 6:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs ) each day and again from 6:00 to 18:00 hrs next day and so on for several years. in this series many data are missing. i ve to fill in these missing data in such a manner so that the new values becomes the linearly interpolated values in between the data given at any two hours. no rows are allowed to be inserted in between 18:00 hrs of the previous day to 6:00 hrs on the next day. pl see the attatchment.

I have quite a long sequence of column for which the headers are all two-lines titles (with a line break). I need to copy many columns that are discontinuous, and the operation would save me a lot of time if I could select them at once. Of course, I know about selecting the columns holding CTRL, but here is the snag: as soon as a two-line title column is selected, the formula bar displays the content of the header, obviously on two lines, and I can't select any more columns. I tried many things, but nothing could solve this...
Is there anything I can do besides copying the columns one by one (which would take a long time) or renaming them?

I need to write a macro to set the print area to the first two columns (A & B), and the last 12 columns (the last column may change). In both cases I need to print all rows (start is row 1, last row is variable). I am trying to achieve something like the "Freeze Pane" effect with the printer. The first two rows contain column headers (dates). The first two columns contain information that needs to be included on the printout, whilst the last 12 columns contain the most recent data.
Various cells withing the selected ranges may be blank, but no row or column will be entirely blank.
