Dynamic Charts & Error Message
Sep 14, 2006
I have created a dynamic chart, courtesy of the Jon Peltier website. I have 2 problems. No problem with getting the chart to work, the problem comes when I delete the data. I get an error message telling me that 'A formula in the worksheet contains one or more invalid references.' The other problem is that I cannot copy the worksheet to another worksheet in the same workbook. Well that is not strictly true, I can copy it but it wont updat. Any ideas as to how I can overcome this? Any suggestions welcome, apart from 'Don't delete the data then'

I am using defined names to build a chart. This is working fine, but I also would like to use a defined name to control the +/- fields for the error bars. The defined names I have set up are correct, and I am able to enter them into the sorce data form but Excel does not display them.

I am trying to create a simple xy graph in Excel 2010 using dynamic source data.
I have data in three columns.
There are headings on line 2 and the data starts on line 3.
A B C
1.
2. dp ss ff
3 .1 .2 .3
4 .3 .4 .4
5 .4 .8 .7
6 .1 .6 .8
7 .3 .5 .1
8 .5 .4 .4
I want to create an XY chart with C3 to C8 as the X axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is) with A3 to A8 as the Y axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is).
I have Defined names for C3 to C8 (myXvalues) and A3 to A8 (myYvalues).
I have created a simple XY graph and selected the ranges as normal.
This is =DATA(,Data!$C$3:$C$9,Data!$A$3:$A$9,1)
The page is named DATA
What I am trying to do now is to edit this range to make the range dynamic.Unfortunately I get error messages which ever way I try to edit the range.
I have tried:-
=SERIES('Data'!$c$3,'Data'!myXvalues,'Data'!$A$3,'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES('Data','Data'!myXvalues, 'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(,Data!myXvalues,Data!$myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(Data!,Data!myXvalues,Data!myYvalues,1)
The data range can go from 8 to 30000 hence the need for a dynamic range!
PS: Also, is there any way to create this graph and dynamic source data in VBA. I have tried this with no success.

I have the following code for a sheet in my workbook that has 3 charts:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteObs").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteObs").RefersToRange
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteWip").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteWip").RefersToRange
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteExp").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteExp").RefersToRange
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
but whenever the sub runs, I get this error message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

I have a spreadsheet that calculates a value for each age up to 65 on a separate row. I have parameterized the spreadsheet so that depending on the age entered by the user, any row below the age 65 calculation row is blanked out (set to "") with an if statement.
After a new age is entered I would like a line graph to compare the values. My problem is that if I select all of the possible data values (I assume none are less than 20, therefore there are 45 rows of formulas) any rows that have blank values show up in the chart. My data starts in cell A1.
I would like to come up with a macro that accomplishes the following . . .
- determines the number of the lowest row that has a number value in it (since there are formulas below this, Ctrl down does not do this correctly)
- set a named range starting from cell A1 based on x rows (calculated in the prior step) and y rows (constant)

I've just read up on interactive charts and have got that sorted for my worksheet. But I have a slightly more complicated issue now...
The worksheet Logistics has results for 76 different tests and these tests have been taken multiple times. Hence, I can logically have a trendline of results for every test i.e. Test 1: 1/1, 2/2,3/3 etc...
I'll go nuts creating 76 charts...and it's a terrible messy way of getting the user to see how he's fared over the number of times he's taken a particular test.
What I'm looking for is a way for the user so indicate which test he wants to see the results for and the relevant results to come up. In other words, on choosing the trendline of results for a particular test. Possible?I saw something similar on a website but am not sure if it was relevant...

I'm running a chiropractic office. In order to see where I've been and where I'm going I keep track of things like new patient visits, patient report visits, cash in, insurance in, etc. I keep track of this on a daily basis on one worksheet. The weekly totals are paste-linked into another sheet. It is this sheet that I would like to use to create a dynamic chart however, in using the OFFSET function to create the chart, the formula counts the 'blank' cells b/c of the paste-link from the previous worksheet.

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 Defined Dynamic Name which is used to select my data. How do I call that when I create a chart in excel within the data source, so that the data source always refers to this dynamic range.
I have data A B C D E
1 2 3 4 5
9 4 5 6 7
this is so the series names will be the row and for each series the rows represent the data within each of the columns. I have a dynamic range that always selects the whole range called chartdata. How do I put that in the data source when it asks me in Excel 2007 as there is no wizard for seprate x and y ranges in this version.

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.

There is POLICY statement that determine an what ACTION should be applied to a paticular building given a score for "LIFE" & "RISK" which results in varing policies A-D. (The Policy intervention points differs slightly for varing types of building. This excel sheet works just fine, and provides the correct guidance for our engineers by suggesting Policy A-D on input of tbuilding type and LIfe/Risk score. However the Policy is a guide, and they do need to apply a level of judgement with the data close to intervention points.
My Question,
I would like to provide further graphical representation to aid decision making. I have a graph plots the X Axis ( LIFE) 0-100, and y Axis (risk) 0-5 and show the , but what i need to be able to do is dynamically adjust the position where the x&y axis cross, so showing visually the intervention point when different building types are selected.

I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?

I'm trying to dynamically populate ranges to facilitate dynamic charts being generated.
I use excel 2010 at work, and 2011 for mac at home.
Dynamic chart ranges populated from named ranges as selected in nested indirectly sourced validation lists
I want any selection made in a dependent validation list which contains a list of named ranges to trigger a worksheet_change event which copies the range the selection points to and pastes it into a dynamic range in another column, beginning as a specified cell.I've tried using this, put together from some code examples from similar, but different issues.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B2")) Is Nothing Then
Range(Range("B2").Value).Copy
Range("P2").Paste
End If
End Sub
Trouble is, I don't really understand this code. It doesn't appear to do anything when I make a worksheet change in "B2", but I don't know exactly what it is. I suspect that perhaps the fact that "B2" is validated from an indirect source might be difficult?

My code has a number of tests for 5 variables of type Boolean.
if after the code has run the five variables look like this:
Code:
variable1 = False
variable2 = False
variable3 = True
variable4 = True
variable5 = True
I want a message box to be displayed with text for the variables that return a True value. So my message box for the above example would read:
Code:
variable3 text
variable4 text
variable5 text
If, however, the next time the code runs the five variables look like this:
Code:
variable1 = True
variable2 = False
variable3 = True
variable4 = False
variable5 = False
The message box should look like this:
Code:
variable1 text
variable3 text
Is there a simple way to do something like this?

I created a bar chart with horizontal (category) labels: winter, spring, summer, fall. Y-axis label is percent. For each category there is data for blk rats, Norway rats, Mice. For each species and category the standard error is different because it is based on several years of data for a given season.
When I try to display the std. error (using custom, fixed value) it treats each species as a series and only lets me choose one value. in other words the std. error would be the same for blk rats in winter, spring, etc. How can I use the individual values?

I have an Excel application which attempts to convert charts to gif images,
using the code (ChartPath is equal to a valid directory location):
ActiveChart.Export Filename:=ChartPath, FilterName:="GIF"
This works perfectly on one PC, but fails when I try to run it on a
different PC. Both PC's use Windows 2000, and both run Excel 2000.
The error message I get on the second PC is:
Run-time error '1004':
Method 'Export' of object ' _Chart' failed
What I need to find out is what could possibly be causing this statement to
fail. Is there something in the Excel or Windows settings that could be
different (a dll file etc)?

I have the following extract of code which is meant to add a chart. However, it adds a pivotchart and then errors on the last line because it can't change the source data on a pivotchart like it can on a non-pivotchart. All of the other charts in the workbook are pivotcharts. It was working fine last week.
Sheets "LOI Sheet" and "Data for Charts" exist.
"e" is a defined integer with value 53 at last running.
Charts.Add After:=Worksheets("LOI Sheet")
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Data for Charts").Range("D2:D" & e), PlotBy:=xlColumns

I've got an interactive chart on a sheet where users select a chart from a combo box control and a picture link to the chart is displayed. The actual charts are on a hidden sheet. I have to activate the charts first for it to work so I put a button the sheet and recorded a macro where I unhide the hidden sheet, select each chart as I scroll down the screen by clicking on it then hide the sheet again and return to the interactive chart.
My problem is that I'm getting an error when the macro tries to select the first chart which is called "Chart 6":
Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)':
The item with the specified name wasn't found
I recorded the macro so I'm not sure why the macro isn't working now.
Code:
Sub ResetCharts()
'
' ResetCharts Macro
' Reset all charts
'
'
Sheets("Budget v Actual Graphs").Select
Sheets("Graph BG").Visible = True
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=15
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 35").Activate
[Code] ............

I have a file with data in one sheet (unfortunately I cannot share the file because of confidential data..), and two sheets with both 9-11 charts in them.
The charts are all filled simply with a dynamic range from the datasheet, so that Last Year and all months from this year with data in them are always in there.
The problem: When opening either of the graph sheets, the (familiar?) error pops up: "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name and cell reference."
One of the graphs has an error and only shows one point of data in it. But only until I press F9, and then the chart is repaired and functions perfectly like all the others!
I have tried lots of things, including checking all source ranges, deleting all graph names etc. and then repaired it so it would work again. The only thing that happened, is that the same error now pops up for another graph in the sheet. Still, when you press F9, the graph functions again!

For some reason my form won't open when the workbook is opened. I get an error message "run time error '424' object required" (which happens when I have Form1.show in the BOTH workbook_open event and the userform_initialize event (oops)). When I removed form1.show from the userform_initialize I don't get an error but I also get no form. I recall having this issue before but I can't recall how to fix it.
Can I call the userform_initialize event from the workbook open event to get around this successfully and properly?

I do hit the SCE (Shift-CTRL-Enter) keys. The formula does work in one workbook, but not the other. The only difference between the two workbooks is this formula has a larger range.
New Formula- doesn't work (ERROR- #DIV/0!)
{=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!A3:A1094="MONDAY",Sheet1!E3:E1094))}
Old Formula- works
{=AVERAGE(IF(B6:B451="MONDAY",E6:E451))}
