Dynamic Series For A Graph
Jun 30, 2014
I have a graph that auto updates but sometimes there is only 1 series and sometimes there is 2,3,4, or 5 series. Is there a way to have the graph update accordingly? and only have have the series that are valid be in the key on the graph. Currently the graph keeps all the series in the key even when there isn't any data for it.
Please see attachment. Use sheet 2 for the graph. and use the drop down menu to select catagory. this ia very quick mock up of the concept.

I am in the process of setting up some graphs. The graphs will show the last 6 months of data so they move as each month is goes. I saw a slick way of doing this using the count function but this did not quite fulfill my needs. What I was looking for is to be able to input the start month in a cell. The cell would be part of the function within the formula. I created a simplified version of the spreadsheet below.

Then I created my names using the ctrl-F3

I then created the graph I wanted and wanted to use the formula =SERIES(Sheet1!$B$3,!chtCat,!chtIssuesReported,1). This kept getting an error indicated nothing really. It basically says there is something wrong with my Series function. I have a working version of a similiar worksheet I have been basing my entries on. They look almost identical but mine is failing. I also created a new file and tried this and it still fails. I can run the formula evaluator within Excel 2010 against the !chtCat and !chtIssuesReported names and they both return the correct value (which equals areas on the spreadsheet). I have also tried to enter the spreadsheet name and a tab in front of the names to get them to work and still get an error. Basicall I am trying to create the graph below (this grpah is using the hard coded locations)

Is there any possible to add a series to a graph table without having the line in the Graph. i just want to show the difference for information and not in the graph?
i have tried some different things (like having the difference in white so it is not visible, formatting the Axis etc)
See attached picture. Excel 2.JPG

I am creating a timeline using a stacked bar graph. The 3 colums in the source spreadsheet are title,start time and duration. The Two data series are start time and duration. I hide the start time series to give me timelines for each row in the spreadsheet. This works fine. What I'd like to do is to group the rows by title and distinguish by colour in the duration series but this doesn;t seem possible? I hope I've made myself clear.

I have a table which provides the source data for a Bar Chart style graph. I need the colour of the different Bars to change depending on the values in the table. For example. If the value is over 1% then the bar will change to the colour Red otherwise it will stay Green.

i was just wondering if there is an easier way of doing this
i havent really used macros but iv been reading up on it can i used it to do this?
I have added the table and graph and this is how i would like all the columns to look like
its the table called graph that makes the curves that i would like to be able to add in quickly

A line graph is using a data row to plot the line; works fine. The data series ranges have been named for Week1 (H10), Week1_2 (H10:I10), Week1_3 (H10:J10), Week1_4 (H10:K10), Week1_5 (H10:L10), Week1_6 (H10:M10), Week1_7 (H10:N10), ...etc.
This is the data series formula name example to plot the data series from week 1 through week 7; ='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_7.
The series name formula Q3Wk1_7 for week 1 through week 7 is =$H$10:$N$10.
When this name is manually entered as a Series Value for the line graph, the graph plots exactly the way it is expected. The same is true if the Series Value is manually modified for some other ranges such as Week 1 through Week 9 (='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_9).
My challenge is to enter this Series Value based on the manually entered week number elsewhere; i.e., we're in week 7, the Series Value should be ='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_7. I've been trying to use an HLOOKUP table to select the correct Series Value formula based on the week number. The HLOOKUP works fine resulting in selecting the correct formula. I can also Name the range of data I want to graph and copy the name into the Series Value field with successful results. How do I get such a formula or Named range into the Series Value field without type it in? I want to set that Series Value to a range or name without having to select the line to manually enter the value.

Looking for code that returns the cell address of a series in a pre-existing graph. I have a graph that already has Source Data manually assigned to it. Is there a way to find just the cell values or location of a single Series in a SeriesCollection object? I know that in order to assign a series of data to a Series object, you do something like this:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Worksheets("My Worksheet").Range("A1:F1")
The issue I am tackling with is a graph that already has preexisting data in the Series object, and I just need a quick and easy way to find the address of this data set.

I've been trying to work out a code for a while now to plot some series in rows on a graph. The wonderful Mr Pope helped me with one before but for series in columns but i just don't seem to understand it enough to use it for this problem. the graph already has 2 series plotted (called the envelope) so i have to use seperate series to plot the data.
Basically the name of series is down column A
but the range is from E1 to Y1
and the data to be plotted on the graph which already has two series plotted in it is E2 to Y2, E3 to Y3 etc. iv been trying to use this code but failing miserably
Sub adddatatopsd(Name As Range, XData As Range, YData As Range)
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart
With .SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
.XValues = XData
.Values = YData
.Name = Name
.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmooth
End With
End With
End Sub...........................

I want to add a user-form on a chart, which will have check-boxes that will allow me to select series(lines) that I want see and compare in a chart. Currently my line chart has 24 series (Lines) which makes the chart very difficult to view and looks very busy. How do I add list of check-boxes that will allow me to select one or multiple lines that I want to see at a time?

I have a sheet that has names in column A and a list of subjects in Row 1. Cells B2:BA25 have the scores acheived for each person in each subject. I was thinking of creating a customisable graph where by there would be a dropdown box that could select a persons name and this would populate a bar graph of all that persons scores.

I have a table that has formulas that read off a pivot table. When the pivot table is updated, the other non-pivot table is updated. I created a graph off of the non-pivot table data. I want to do a bar chart, but if data is added to the pivot table (and then through formulas added to my non-pivot table) I want the graph to automatically update with the new fields. I can't figure out how to do this
For example, if my table had Grapes, apples and peaches and their quantities in cell A2:b4 if I choose range a2:b5 I don't get any data in my graph at all, if I choose the correct range a2:b4, I get a bar chart with Grapes, Apples and Peaches and thier quantites. If I added Strawberries to the Pivot table, the non-pivot table would update, but the graph is not grabbing row 5, I have to manually change the range to a2:b5.

I've created one file: Mappe1_results.xlsm
This file ask in another file "Mappe1_ground.xlsx" for "B" and "N". Now one new sheet is created with the name "month-2014" and shows me which Category (B) is how often referred in one month. After that one chart is created for a better representation. This can be done for every month (which month is selected by the user over the button "Auswertung" in Sheet "Tabelle1").
Now I have a few problems / requirements:
1. If one user is using (maybe) Jan as his selected month, in the sheet "Auswertung" should be one duplicated chart of the Jan Chart., with no other (previous) series. Because Jan has no previous conditions (prev. year).
1.1 If one user is using another month (maybe Feb), in the sheet "Auswertung" should be one chart with both series of Jan and Feb and so one (for the other months). So that in "Auswertung" the chart is one comparison over the months. Only Feb/Mar/Apr/May/Jun/Jul/Aug/Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec have one prev. month.
For example: If one user write "Apr" into the inputbox and "Mar" is in the sheet existing, so in the chart of "Auswertung" should be April and March shown.
Some functions are set in my macros, but the problem is that the results are not equal between the sheet "Auswertung" and maybe "Jan-2014" or "Feb-2014". Because in "Auswertung" we need called all Categories (they can be found in "Referenz" - A).
All what I want is in "Auswertung" one chart with all present categories of "Referenz" - A and the series of the created sheets by the user.
2. The next problem is, every created sheet has one legend "Anzahl im ..." - this legend of every series should be shown in "Auswertung", too. So that we know which color is for which month, u know.

I am looking for a quick way to create a number charts using data from multiple sheets.
I have 12 sheets Apr - Mar that contain data in identical format. I also have sheets 12 sheets Apr Charts - Mar Charts, I need to create a number of charts on each sheet for the relevant month. To avoid having to create a ridiculous number of charts, I thought I would try to dynamically change the chart data series based on a value in say cell A1.
For example if cell A1 of the Apr Charts sheet = Apr, the chart will show the data for Apr.
The idea is that I can copy the Apr Charts sheet the required number of times and replace the value in A1, and my charts will update dynamically. I need to have seperate sheets for each of the monthly charts.

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.

I would like to update a chart after I have updated the underlying data just by clicking a button and displaying the updated date in the chart. Does anyone know how to do this? Currently I am having to manually click on the graphs line in the chart, which highlights the columns data, then manually extend this for the chart to update. And then I am manually typing in a date cell in the chart. There MUST be a cool way to do this.

I have a chart with Data Series being dynamic ranges. There is only one series and x & y each have a dynamic range. I need to be able to include Series Name as a dynamic range.
For example. I have 3 rows of values with 3 columns.
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Name X-Val Y-Val
A 1 3
B 4 6
C 8 0
I now need a chart that has 1 series with a x range of col2 and a y range of column 3 but a corresponding name equal to Col 1. So when I move my mouse over each point I get the series name. E.G. I hover over poing 1,3 I show the name as A. Or I hover over point 8,0 I get C.
If it isnt possible using the ranges the way I am, then I would be looking for a possible solution. I am sure I could do this by some sort of loop but not quite sure given the number of rows constantly changes.

I am making a dynamic graph with use of listboxes. Please see attached example.
In the example doc is a graph which is now static. Based on the rows I selected in the table, for store 1 and for february.
What I'd like is that a user can select a store and a month in 2 listboxes and that the graph is dynamically created based on dynamic selection in the table. I think I need to use the OFFSET function and some defined names but I'm not sure how.

I have several dynamic charts using named ranges, but I am charting 1 series of data. What about when I have multiple data sets or series and do not want to use PivotTables? Do I really have to make each one a named range? If that's the case, using VBA looks much simpler.

I have created a dynamic chart for multiple series. I have created this using the offset function and have named 20 ranges. The problem I have is that if only 19 of the 20 named ranges are populated it reads that the worksheet contains one or more invalid references.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Using the Dynamic Named Range tip, I defined named variables as follows:
Xrange=OFFSET($A$2,0,0,COUNT($A:$A),1)
Yrange=OFFSET($B$2,0,0,COUNT($B:$B),1)
then tried to define my Chart series as follows:
=SERIES($B$1,Xrange,Yrange,1)
but it gives an invalid reference error. What am I doing wrong?

i have a graph that i've linked to let's say cells A1:C150
however, my range could sometimes needs to be shrunken to A1:A100 or A1:A40 etc. (the number of rows that are "active" is determined by cell K27)
i'd like for my graph to automatically adjust depending on the number of rows that are filled within the range above. can this be done with formulas and graph manipulations?
i've put in a formula currently that makes the value of the cells that would return 0 into "" but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

I have a database in excel with a lot of tables in which lets a uses a combo box so the user select can view just one table.
I want to be able to create a macro so when a button is pressed, it copies the data into a new workbook and creates a chart so they can do whatever they want without disrupting anything in the original workbook.
I have been able to find code that will export the data and create a chart (see below) but the problem is the range changes from table to table so I need to find a way of changing how the chart picks up the data range.
Sub Chart_New_Book()
Sheets("Temp").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C10")
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1"
End Sub
So at the moment when charting ony cells A1:C10 will be plotted no matter what the size of the table is and making the target range bigger only sees the blank cells being plotted.

This may be a tough one. Through a button, I am trying to create a popup window displaying an excel chart, viewed always on top, dynamically linked to my spreadsheet data. The idea would be to see it evolve as I input data, and be able to open as many as I want. I guess I could create a macro to paste/clear the graph, but a pop up window would appear more professional and more user friendly.

I've created my dynamic named ranges using the OFFSET function, ex.
="OFFSET(SAMPLE!$D$4,1,0,COUNTA(SAMPLE!$D:$D)-1,1)"
I'm now trying to get my chart to use that range. I read at [URL] .... that I need to make sure my series reference is a fully qualified reference. So I've entered that series reference using the name of the workbook followed by the range name (=2012-PIRS.xlsx!SAM_CLAR2DEL). I have two copies of my workbook (one as xlsm with VBA project, and one with xlsx without VBA) and I can't get Excel to accept the series value in either workbook.
ERROR MSG:
The formula you typed contains an error. Try one of the following:
- Make sure you've included all parentheses and required arguments.
- To use a function, click Insert Function on the Formulas tab (in the Function Library group).
- If you include a reference to another sheet or workbook, verify that the reference is correct.
- If you are not trying to enter a formula, avoid.........
