Dynamic Selection Of Data For Chart
Oct 13, 2009
I have a follwing data:
Sheet1 ABCDEFGH2Days12345673Values2040550000 Excel tables to the web >> Excel Jeanie HTML 4
I have plotted a line graph based on the above table; but I am getting zero values also plotted. since these Values are linked to some other workbook I can't delete the cell values also.
How can we avoid Zero values on a graph; Also is there any approach, that my graph should get automatically updated whenever the linked values are updated.

The CRM application that we use provides output in an excel sheet "Table View 1". I want to be able to copy the data that is dumped to a sheet to another sheet. The requirements:The data output range is different. Sometimes it is 4 rows and sometimes it is 25 rows. I want a mechanism where based on the output, the formula/macro automatically copies the information to the new sheet.The first 2 rows need to be excluded when the copy is being made.

I have created a chart that automatically expands as more data is added. This works great by using named ranges in my Chart's Series' Values and Axis Label fields. The named ranges use the Offset function.
The problem I am having is applying this same technique to to same chart to vary the number of series that I want to chart. I created a name range, using the offset function. But when I add the name to my Data Range formula, it will not stick. It changes the number of series displayed correctly when I add the name. But after I click OK on the Source Data dialog box, the data range reverts back to the address supplied by the name range variable; it does not retain the name range variable itself. Can Chart Data Ranges not contain a name range variable, especially when name range variables are used in the series formulas?

In a workbook that I am working on, a macro runs to import data onto 9 separate sheets. The data is essentially x- and y- coordinates of a plot profile from another program. The problem that I am running into is that the number of data points can vary each time the data in imported based upon how the data was acquired.
If I were to put a drop-down list (Method1, Method2, Method3, etc.) on the Instructions page that I have for this workbook and have the user select which method was used prior to running the macro, could I then incorporate some sort of IF statement in the macro to vary the Source Data Series for the charts that I have created? Right now, I have the Source Data covering the scenario with the longest list of data points so when fewer points are used, the graph looks essentially useless.

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'm using a table with dynamic data to populate a column/line chart.
The data is based on monthly targets achieved and forecasted. With each month, the information will update. The graph needs to have only the current month and future months to be displayed and I don't want to include the previous months information in the chart. The information in the chart automatically updates and loses the previous month's data. Unfortunately, the graph plots the blank data and has a blank entry on the graph. This means that the information I need starts in the middle of the chart and has a line that shoots up from 0 to the current month's value.
Is there any way that I can omit the month altogether?
The data source I am using is below:
MonthTarget for month* (examples)
October 100,123,669
November 125,154,586
December 150,185,503
January 175,216,420
February 200,247,337
March 225,278,254
April 250,309,171
May 275,340,089
June 300,371,006
As you can see, July August and September are not included. I want to be able to start the graph from October in the above example. In the following month, I want to use the same data but October Figures will not be required. How can I achieve this?

I have a spreadsheet that I have setup to have raw data pasted into. Long story short, it pulls the maximum reading for a given 5 minute period and returns the highest value for each 5 minute increment where there was a reading. It does this for all of the different dates entered, returning a separate data table for each date.
What I now need is to graph the data on a line chart. Since the number of time values can be variable, I have to include the entire range (for example A3:B5002). When I graph this out, it has all of the data clumped up at the beginning and flatlines for 99% of the chart.
I tried building dynamic named ranges using offset, but that seems to yield similar results once charted.
See the link below where I've dumped some sample data in (it wouldn't let me upload due to the size and I can't upload only part of it without breaking the whole thing). The data I need to chart is from columns A&B on the GraphData sheet. Sheet 1 contains the chart I have been trying to use. The endgame of this is to have the end user paste in their data and *POOF* charts.
My only restriction is that I cannot have Macros/VBA.

I tried following this post and using NA() instead of ""...no dice, it just puts #NA at the bottom labels instead of spaces.

I want to make a dynamic chart that grows as the data increases
The data is from C23:O23 (12 Columns)
The Months are from C22:O22 (12 Months)
I am only on month 4 (April) but this will eventually but 12 months
Looking at various sites you have to use a dynamic named range and in the Refers box drop in an OFFSET formula.
My problem is I cannot figure out an OFFSET formula for columns instead of rows.

I know how to make a dynamic chart that shows only the last X number of rows. However, I'm looking to do something slightly different.
I have columns A and B both with 3000 rows of values. I would like to make a bar graph. Some of the rows are NA(), some have the data that I would like to graph. The data I would like to graph is always in a group, say from rows 100 - 200, but this could change in location from rows 95 - 195 instead, and could also change in number of rows to be rows 95 - 150 (ie. 55 rows rather than 100 rows). I would like my bar graph to be able to search Columns A and B and pick out the section with data (ie. not NA()) and graph it. I had introduced the NA() hoping that I could just put the entire range in the chart and it would pick out the numbers, but I gather this only works when using a scatter graph which just won't work for my needs.

I am attempting to use a dynamic named range in a chart data series as described in Excel Hacks (Hack #42 and Hack #52).
Using Insert|Name|Define I have created a named range called CashFlowSaleChartDataRange that is set to the following value:
=OFFSET('Cash Flow-Sale'!$O$10,0,0,NumFlows,1)
When I subsequently assign a reference to this named range in the data series dialog it will accept the answer and my chart will adjust to reflect the updated range. However, if I return to the data series dialog, I now see the range address returned by the OFFSET function rather than the named range reference.

I am looking to create a dynamic bubble chart. To do this I am using offset to create the series formula which without listing all the data names turns out to be something like this (where 297 will adjust to the number of rows with data): =SERIES(Project!$A$5:$A$297, Project!$J$5:$J$297,Project!$P$5:$P$297,2,Project!$Q$5:$Q$297)
My problem is that by creating the chart in this fassion I am unable to get a unique name for each data point. For example, if row A looks like this,
A5: 1
A6: 2
A7: 3
each data point will be named 1 2 3. How do I either create a new series for each row dynamically or get the specific name from column A to associate with the correct data point?

I've read through every thread I can find about dynamic named ranges as source data for a chart. It seems as if everyone can get it to work but me. I have a chart on one sheet that needs to update dynamically from data on another sheet when a button is clicked. Here's my code that runs when I click the button:
Sub Update_Center_Chart()
Sheets("Center Data Chart").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Center Data").Activate
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source = Range("CenterData")
End Sub
I get the error message: "Type mismatch." The data is in B1:F2 on a different sheet. The formula in the named range, "CenterData" is this:=OFFSET('Center Data'!$B$1,0,0,COUNT('Center Data'!$B:$B),4). The data will expand by 1 row every time.

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 need drop-down combo box to change a graph based on the option selected in the drop-down
Challenge: my Combo box resides on the First sheet only, but the items that populate in the drop-down list are dynamic and change depending on how many sheets exist for this document. The options in the list are Overall, Week 1, Week 2, ... Week N. Overall needs to sum up the data (or I can pull just from the summary page if I am lazy) and the Week N corresponds to a specific sheet added.
I currently am able to get my drop down to populate items correctly, and my macros to create the sheets dynamically with templates just fine (not bad for newbie).
So what I need to figure out is how to tie my drop down to make a scatter plot/bar graph based on the selected option and action. I can't find an attachment option here but here is some code:
Sheet 1 Code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Me.ComboBox1.Clear
Me.ComboBox1.AddItem "Overall"

Is there a way to make a chart adjust automatically when you add to the source data? I'm trying to use a named range in order to power a chart (something like chart_data=offset(a1,,, counta(a:a),counta(1:1)); the range is working fine). When I put "chart_data" into the source field for the chart, it seems to work fine; it picks up the right range... But when I later add more data, the chart source data field seems to have converted my named range into a hard-coded range, absolute range. So the dynamical named range updates, but the chart doesn't and I don't see the new data. Am I doing something wrong that I need to tweak? Does what I'm trying to do just not work? Is there another way to make the chart pick up the new data without adjusting the range?

Here is my code piece
================
For pCounter = 3 To OutputWorkbook.Worksheets("abc").UsedRange.Rows.Count
If temp = outputWorkbook.Worksheets(Output). Cells(pCounter, 1) Then
rowToColour = pCounter + 1
outputWorkbook.Worksheets(Output).Rows("rowToColour:rowToColour ").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 3
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If
Next pCounter
-----------
Explaination
-----------
-I store some numeric value in "temp" variable in some other part of my program
- Then i need to search the "Output" sheet to find the Cell in which i have the same value stored as the string "temp"
- And once i have found the cell , i need to colour the row beneath that cell with red.
The issue is with selection and colouring of the row after finding the cell. So the question is :
Is this the right way to select the row ? i keep getting errors like 1004 etc.

I have three rows that each attempt to pull in data from a range on different worksheets. All but one return nothing but "#N/A" values. The one row returns values from the proper range. (User selections determine which row will have data).
Second, I successfully pull data from the row containing actual information into another row, using the following formula: "=OFFSET(E$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0)" on a cell-to-cell basis. The value in $Y$1 chooses the row to look at, based upon a dropdown selected on another worksheet.
So I now have a row with =OFFSET(E$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0),=OFFSET(F$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0),=OFFSET(G$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0) and so forth. I can find the last value in the row, but I cannot find a way to extract the address from that, and create a table that will use as a series the last 26 values in the row.
For reference, I use "=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,E49:FD49)" to determine the last cell with a value (gleaned from a Dueling Excel Youtube Video, - very helpful!).
I hope the above will be clear enough, but if not, I'll be happy to provide additional information / clarification.

I have a log that I use to keep track of my hours where the days hours and charge numbers get summed and moved to a new sheet via a command button. One of the categories is week ending date. I want the week ending date cells to merge if they match and cannot get the range I want to highlight. I can move the data, find and define the first and last cells in the range, but can't get the range.select command to work. I think it is just a syntax error, as I am new to VBA.
I can open a Locals window and watch it assign values to myFirstCell and myLastCell of "$A$36" and "$A$44" respectively, but I get an error on either the set range= or range.select lines.
My code is as follows:
Private Sub Post_Hours_To_Log_Click()
'Posts the day's hours to the hours tracker.
Dim myFirstCell, myLastCell As Variant
Dim myRange As Variant
***Removed N/A code that goes to another sheet and decides which data to copy***
Application.Goto reference:=Worksheets("Hours Log").Range("A2"), _

I will receive one master file which contains the table and it's values and I have another working sheet where I will update the require details. Every time I will copy the entire master data into working file in order to extract the values by using vlookup function. note that the master file has different names each time. So, that if I use vlookup by taking master data path but not getting the results.
I am looking one macro code to select file (master data) and paste the values based on vlooup references in workings sheets. Note this master data file name may change but reference range always same.

I have a spreadsheet where I've disallowed selection of multiple cells using the code in the 2nd box below, but is there a way to override this protection to allow selection of a named range? My reason for doing so is to open this workbook as read only from code in another workbook and copy the entire table. My code for doing that works ok (I frequently use it in other workbooks) but, in this case, my need to disallow selection of multiple cells in this particular worksheet is tripping me up.
This is the code I'm using to try and pull the data into another workbook:
Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "RSL-Jobs-Register.xls", ReadOnly:=True
Application.GoTo Reference:="JobsTable"
Selection.Copy
and this is the code I have in RSL-Jobs-Register.xls which is preventing me from selecting the (dynamic) named range called "JobsTable".
Code:
''' I'm thinking I could have something here like (in plain English) "If selected range "JobsTable" Then"
''' (apply the code below) but I'm not sure of the code
If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox "Sorry, operations on multiple selections aren't allowed here", vbCritical
ActiveCell.Select
Exit Sub
End If
The formula for the dynamic named range called "JobsTable":
=OFFSET(Jobs!$A$2,1,0,COUNTA(Jobs!$A:$A)-2,11)

I have a table of data which moves up and down my report depending on user input changes to the source data.
I have written some VBA code to generate a chart based on this table of data. I have managed to create a basic chart from this table. However I need to change the series (on the chart) from rows to columns so that it is displayed correctly. For this I need to have the cell references within the code belonging to the actual chart.
If I was writing the code for the chart with an absolute reference I would write it as:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:= Sheets("Group").Range("B50:F53"), PlotBy:=xlColumns
This obviously works fine, however when a user makes a change to the source data the table is now out of sync with the chart references.
I am trying to write it as:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Group").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)), PlotBy:=xlColumns
Where am I going wrong?
My full code is as follows:
Private Sub CreateRegionChart()
Worksheets("group").ChartObjects.Item(2).Delete
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)).Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
'ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Group").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-1, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(2, 3)), PlotBy _
:=xlColumns
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Group"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Title"
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Label"
End With

My boss wants me to design a dynamic, updatable chart in Excel 2003. I initially made a Pivot Chart based on a Pivot Table which worked perfectly, but it doesn't look professional enough when printed (or viewed) and she wants me to approach it a different way.
So, I created a graph based on the data in a Pivot Table, and used dynamic ranges as the source for the graph series so that the chart updates when the criteria fields are changed for the Pivot Table. I then added two combo boxes (ie data validation lists) to the Chart sheet, and wrote VBA code so that whenever the combo box values are changed, the Criteria fields for the Pivot Table on the 2nd sheet are updated accordingly, and this in turn causes the graph to be updated as well.
This solution also worked perfectly, but now I've been told to create the graph without macros.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The requirements/details are as follows:
1. The Pivot Table is on sheet "PIVOT", and the graph is on sheet "GRAPH"
2. The Pivot Table has two criteria - School Name and Year Level
3. On sheet "GRAPH" there are two data-validated fields, School and Year, which only allow the selection of valid Schools and Year Levels
Is there any way to make the Pivot Table update when values are changed in the fields on the CHART sheet so that the chart also updates, but without using code nor a Pivot Chart?

I'd like a bar chart that will only display bars for positive values. So, if a cell has 0, it won't display anything. I.E. - if i have 10 fields and only 5 of them have values greater than 0, my chart will only display 5 bars instead of 5 bars and 5 empty fileds. kind of like piezeros, but for a bar chart.
