I'd like to use two columns / labels to create a colorful bar chart that just piles each field value on top of each other and shows the amount (and percent of total if I can) along the first column's values next to the bar chart something like below..
So column 1 is the "entity name" and column 2 is the "value/amount".
I can't make this chart look right at all. I have Excel 2007.
I have a column of the date of sales. (several hundred lines long) and each line has the name of the item sold. I need to complete a report showing how many sales of each item per date. Date of sale in one column and the name of the product in another.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWould like to add totals to stacked column chart in Excel 2007.
I have followed same steps listed here [url] but cannot position data labels above column.
Excel only gives me the options Center, Inside End, and Inside Base.
I also tried setting label position with VBA:
For Each co In ChartObjects
For Each s In co.Chart.SeriesCollection
If s. Name = "Totals" Then
For Each dl In s.DataLabels
dl.Position = xlLabelPositionOutsideEnd
Next dl
End If
Next s
Next co
Also tried the following without luck:
dl.Position = xlLabelPositionAbove
For each VBA example I get following error:
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
Automation error
Unspecified error
It seems like Microsoft has removed this positioning option for stacked column charts because it works fine for normal column charts. Anyone find a way to do this otherwise?
This problem has come at the end of a big exercise whereby I've managed to construct a spreadsheet that automates three payment processes based on various VLookups to another file. However, I've come to a stage where I need to pre-empt a payment allocation based on cumulative totals.
I'll try and explain clearly below but I've also attached a spreadsheet showing the intended result (along with a copy without the output so that someone can add in the formula - again, if it exists.
So, this all centres around a code allocated to our clients and a declaration that they complete. Say client code "Apple1" (col E) sends in instructions to pay on a position of "650,000" (col F). Within our existing spreadsheet we have an available position of "800,000" which can be seen by totalling column G for client code "Apple 1".
So that's the first requirement - for all rows on my existing spreadsheet for client code "Apple1", I want to add the cumulative total of column G ("800,000") I'd like this captured in column H, as per my example.
We can then make payment based on their declaration, up to their total available amount. However, we need to pay them in stages according to our existing allocations (col G). Therefore, taking the first example, their declaration show's an available position of 650,000, their total position is 800,000 and the available nominal amount for that row (col G) is 200,000 - so they can be paid on that full amount therefore, 200,000 should be shown in cell I3.
So now, they've got 450,000 left to be paid and cell G4 again shows a position of 200,000, so once again, cell I4 should show 200,000.
The client "Apple1" now has a payment amount remaining of 250,000 remaining but in this instance, cell G5 is for 300,000 - so because the remainder of their available payment is less than the amount in cell G5, we should post the available payment amount in that field - 250000.
Therefore, if you add up all of column I for client "Apple1" it comes to 650,000 - the amount we have on our declaration - even though the total of their available position is 800,000.
I've included another client in the mix "Sauce2" who should show 200,000 and 0 respectively in cells I6 and I7.
I have a bunch of data about companies in an Excel workbook. I need to be able to create a "summary document" about a selected company in word. One of the items that needs to be in this summary is a pie chart.
This code works fine for generating the basic text of the document:
Code:
Sub export_to_word()
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim companyName As String
Dim address As String
Dim revenue As String
[code]....
Creating the chart has been more problematic. I adapted the following code from an example found on MSDN:
Code:
Dim valueChart As Chart
Dim chartWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set valueChart = wrdDoc.Shapes.AddChart.Chart
valueChart.ChartType = xl3DPie
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
chartWorkSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Resize chartWorkSheet.Range("A1:B12")
[code]....
What I've found though is that this code is based on a macro inside the word document, not excel. So it runs fine from within word, but within excel it throws an error at this line
Code:
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
because ChartData is not in the object model in Excel. how to proceed at this point.

I am creating a chart with more than 2000 dates (each day). How can I format the axis so it only displays the 1st day of each quarter (01/01/2010, 01/04/2010, 01/07/2010...).
At the moment I cannot format the axis and minor/major units remain numbers.

I am trying to automatically generate an organisation chart in excel from a dynamic list of employees. in column 'A' will be the "manager's name", column 'B" will be the "employee name", column 'C' will be the "employee number" & column 'D' will be the "employee days" number (an potentially a few more employee attributes)
I would like a printable org chart that is created on another tab which is generated from this list, ideally with the "employee name" and their other attributes shown in the chart.
how this can be done in excel, maybe VBA?
I am building a country ranking model which ranks several different macroeconomic indicators and applies a weighting to each of the indicators. I have an overall ranking column which is an average of all the ranks. The problem is whenever I change any of the individual indicator's weighting it obviously affects the country's overall ranking. Is there a way that the model can automatically "re-sort" the overall rankings without me having to manually click on the sort by smallest to largest filter each time?
PS I'm using Excel 2007.
I have written a 2007 workbook which contains 4 simple macros. One of the macros automates the process of saving the print range as a .pdf file. It works fine on my pc but when I send it to others to use, when they try the macros, they all return a 1004 runtime error.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat I have done is entered code to auto generate the date in column O whenever data is entered or altered in column A. Here is that code:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then _
Target.Offset(0, 14).Value = Now
End If
End Sub
What I am trying to do now, is create a column that will take the information from O and do a sort of COUNTIF function that will count how many items of data were entered on a certain date by the day. For a clearer example, I want it to tell me how many items were entered/altered on 7/23. But I also want it to continuously calculate it for each date after that. Preferably automatically, but if a macro is needed I can create an update button.
Once it can achieve that I would like to create a dynamic graph that will automatically (or via macro button) update to show the last 5 days. It should display the date and how many items were entered that day.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have excel 2007 and I came across the following difficulty:
If I create a graph (or a chart) the default size is "Letter". However, I can switch this "Letter" to "A4" which I need and then create a template. But I always have to manually choose this template for new charts. However switching this any time I create a new chart is a rather bad way to cope with. Even clicking on set as default obviously does not cause to have A4 size for new chart, it still has got size of Letter when adding a new chart.
I assume the solution could be in XLStart templates, but it probably doesnt work for charts that you add. Or at least I didnt find any clue on the internet for this problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to chart data obtained from our phone system to see when users are logged in/on rest.
I'm using Excel 2007.
The data we extract has:
person | status | start | finish | duration
Status is either "login" or "rest"
Start/finish is time (h:mm)
Duration is a formula (h:mm, finish - start)
I want to have a stacked bar chart that shows when a person was logged in/on rest; one bar for each person.
x-axis: person
y-axis: time (8am - 6pm)
legend: status
The problem I'm encountering is that each person logs in and out multiple times throughout the day (therefore, has multiple lines to their name in the data), and I can't get this information to appear on a single bar for each person.
I've sorted the data into a pivot table which gives me the information I want, but how to get the chart.
Row labels
a. Person
b. status
c. start

I'm using Excel 2007 and I have a reasonable level of experience with VBA coding in normal / object modules, but I have no experience with class modules or events ... so I do not have a good command on what goes into a normal module vice a class module if I want to use mouse events to rotate a chart.

Using Excel 2007: I have a column graph whose numbers/labels on the vertical axis go from ($300,000) to a positive $550,000.
Question: How do I get the labels on the vertical axis to appear in the "accounting format" with the "negative numbers in red" and the "positive numbers in black or blue"?
I have tried to find the answer online and it appears to need to find Format Data Series, which I have been unable to do.
I would like to multiply a serie in 'series values' (before presenting on a chart) with a factor (in a formula like ='[1]name'!$V$2:$V$148)
in other words I would like to do something like
=('[1]name'!$V$2:$V$148)*50
but I don't seem to succeed with the correct syntax.
In Excel searching for "multiply series values" under "edit series" there is to read:
"Use this option to include additional data series on the chart or to modify the name and values of existing data series without affecting the data on the worksheet."
So what I want to do seems to be possible.
Excel 2007 version 12.0.6611.1000
I know I can create a temporary column with the multiplied values but THIS IS NOT the way I want to solve the problem.
I'm having a problem with named ranges in a chart. I'm using Excel 2007 in Windows XP.
I have a line graph with twenty different series all using dynamic ranges. I created each series individually, typing the name and then the dynamic range I had previously defined. As far as I am aware, Excel demands when writing the reference that you specify which sheet/workbook this named range is from, so, given the scopes of my ranges are all 'workbook', I added the name of the workbook to the references.
e.g.
Series name:
Series1
Series values:
='workbook name'!range1
This seems to work fine, but when I save and then re-open the file, the dynamic ranges no longer work. If I go to Select Data and look at the reference for a series, it has been changed thus:
Series values:
=[0]!range1
In versions prior to Excel 2007, I was always able to copy a chart when I copied a tab. However, when I copy a tab in 2007, the data copies fine, but the chart does not. Something similar happens when I try to move a tab with a chart on it to another workbook.

I am working with the Ganntt chart and horizontal bar charts but can't seem to figure out a way to force the X-Axis to behave properly.
In Excel 2007, I am trying to get the X-Axis to show major units of Months. However, in my chart options I can only change the Y-Axis to be Date/Monthly.
Changing my data layout (from the below) to be a vertical format produces the same problem, just in the other direction.
My data looks as follows:
System
Blocker
Production
Migrataion
Retired
Sys1
1/1/2012

Sys2
1/1/2012
400
60
90
Sys3
2/1/2013
30

1
The Blocker column is formatted as "No Fill" in order to cover a portion of the time-scale.
My X-Axis displays as random dates throughout the period and all of my data displays properly in terms of the scale on the grid.
What is NOT working is that the dates shown on the X-Axis really need to be based on a Monthly scale instead of the randomly selected dates Excel is using.

I can't seem to find the right combination of options to make that happen or force a scale on the X-Axis.
