Excel 2007 :: Waterfall Chart - Change Color Of Vertical Bar Automatically
May 19, 2012
I am building this waterfall chart. I'd like to put conditional color formatting to change the vertical bar automatically e.g. if it is positive, the bar color is green and if it is negative the bar color is red.
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.
Using Excel 2007. Is there a straightforward way to do a waterfall chart?
eg. stacked bars running from left to right. First Column = 2011 Headcount 2nd Column = stacked bar with additions (by category) - stepping up from the 2011 total. 3rd Column = stacked bar with reductions (by category) - steppind down from the first column + 2nd colum total. 4th column = 2011 exit (which will be at the same height as the bottom of the 3rd column).
I am trying to create a bar chart that changes color based on a percentage range. Any advice on how to do this? I am using Excel 2007, Windows XP, Sharepoint 2010.

Now while I was away so had the power gone, and for almost 24 hours so stood all still, I would now like to outline in red the date / dates where I have zero or very low running time for specific date, but I can only change Fragen for all dates, not individual dates.
The stack's not exist in the data value is equal to zero (null) where by I want to be able to get the date in red color, and possibly also in bold. see print screen below.
Using excel 2007. In a A table of marks obtained by a student. I want to get the content of the cell be displayed in a bigger font and in a particular color when i point to it. When I point to a cell content the display should be in a color of my choice say green and the font be greater than 20 pixels.
In Excel 2007 I know that if you have a cell containing text that you can change the color of parts of that text like This is the text in my cell and this is red text
But I have a cell with a formula that adds text to the end based on a conditional. I can't see any way to change the text color in this situation. I basically want this formula:
=D_Notes & TEXT(CHAR(10),) & IF(Terms = "Budgetary Estimate Only", "Quote is budgetary only and is subject to change pending final design.","")
I am using excel 2007 and when I change cells my formulas do not automatically refresh. I have set it to automatic and the calculations will not refresh. How I can force a calculation. I did the control alt f9 and nothing seems to work. Any macro that can force all calculations.
In my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.
For example:
Cell B5 contains the text: VALID
When the user changes the text in the field to read: INVALID - then I need the row range: A5:W5 to change to the color blue.
I have a Excel Charts (waterfall graph) which has let us say 10 items in the rows. the first one represents the intial and the last one represents finish. If I want to delete one item in between the first and last, the finish item vanishes. For example I have the following series and I want to delete item G from it. The Finish item vanishes from the graph
I am fairly new to macros and have trouble with VBA. I have a file with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet contains the name of a specific location in cell A8. I want this name in cell A8 to be the name on the worksheet tab for each worksheet in my file but do not know how to accomplish this. Is that even possible?
I am trying to use VBA in Excel 2007 to change bar chart series colors. I have found a few posts that link it to a cell background, but I'm struggling to find one that does the font color.
It would be great if I could change the bar chart series to match the color of the text in the A column, so that if I highlighted the value in A1 and changed the text color to orange for whatever reason, the chart updates the value of 1.2 to an orange bar (see below).
Does anyone know if there's a way to color code points on a scatter chart based on their values in a "3rd dimension" (i.e. other than the 2 dimensions represented by the chart axes).
You might imagine a scatter chart that plots transactions by price (y) and units purchased (x).
In that scenario, it might also be nice to color code each point by the region that made the sale.
The only way I know to do this is to manually create separate columns of data for each region, so that each region can be plotted on the scatter chart as a separate data series.
But since I'd like to experiment with several color coding alternatives, I'm wondering if there isn't a simpler way...
For instance, Rob Bovey's "XY Chart Labeler" can add data point labels to a scatter chart...
Is there, perhaps, another add-in that might enable color coding of data points based on a 3rd set of values?
I am having a hard time figuring how to change the color of all the different text groups in a chart, header, axis, labels etc, and even the macro recorder has failed me this time - I have recorded the following, where I selected the graph, changed textcolor to white and then ended the recording - but without changing anything in the code, it returns an error on the second line (starting with "with"):
Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)': The value is outside of the boundaries (translated from danish)
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart1").Activate With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Fill .Visible = msoTrue .ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorBackground1 .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0 .ForeColor.Brightness = 0 .Transparency = 0 .Solid End With
From what I have read, it might be something with the textframe2 property.
I have been given a spreadsheet that turns whole rows different colours when certain data is entered into a cell. I want to locate the code and use it elsewhere, but cant find it?
I have looked at all of the change related procedures in the drop downs, for the Workbook e.g.
Workbook_SheetChange
but no matter where I cant seem to find any code at all.
Is there a way of exporting every line of code and then open this file in notepad to skim through it?
how I might find the code that is making the rows turn different colours?
I have a horizontal graphic chart showing Intel and AMD processors speeds. I was wondering if it is possible to tell Excel to apply a color to Intel processors bar and another to AMD ones?
2.- Once that is done, and I donīt know if this is posible, I need to colour the scaterred columns (only the ones in the middle of the chart - one, two , three, four-, not PROY and PPTO) in the chart according to their value (Red if negative and green if positive).
I was just wondering if there was a way of changing the excel chart default so it doesn't always return a grey (or gray for those of you over the pond !) plot area every time I create a chart. It looks rank and wastes toner IMO.
I have 3 charts on 3 seperate worksheets. The data for each is sourced from a list of up to 100 but only the top 20, or all if less than 20 in full list, are displayed on the chart. A seperate worksheet ("Calcs") is used to sort all the data so that just the top 20 are sourced for the charts and they are displayed in descending order from max to min and alphabetically in the case of 2 or more names having the same value.
I have attached one ot the charts.
I need the y axis scale to auto-adjust to suit the max and min series 1 values. I need the y axis maximum to be 5 more than the max series 1 value (unless the value is 5 or less when axis should be 10) and the min y axis to be 3 less than the min series 1 value (unless the value is 3 or less when the axis should be 0)
I have done the formulae to sort out these conditions and put the required y axis values in a cell which the copies across to the chart sheet with the required max in cell M1 and the min in cell L1. These values will change when another macro runs.
I searched this site for the code to auto-adjust the scales and found one which I have tried to edit to suit my needs. This is the code I have ended up with, placed within the worksheet containing the chart....
Any way to change the font color of a chart axis when a checkbox is set to true.
let checkbox be checkbox5 and chart be chart5. What I would like to happen is that if checkbox5 is true then the font color of the horizontal axis changed to grey (RGB 166,166,166), if it is false then I would like the font color of the horizontal axis to be black (RGB 0,0,0). I also would like this macro to be run every time the checkbox changes, or the corresponding cell changes to TRUE or FALSE (it is in another sheet, say sheet2). This is the code I have so far but all it is doing is showing the chart as selected and not changing the font color. I would also like it to not physically select the chart, this is for a dashboard so the selecting of the chart throws off some of the visuals a bit, but not sure how to do change the chart values without selecting it.
it is possible to have the series of a stacked graph to change color based on the source value.
e.g. i have a stacked cone graph made up of 5 piece (series) i need each piece colored either green, yellow or red depending on whether its value is large than another
I am trying to simplify a spreadsheet. I have a column with dates from last year and I was wondering if there is a formula that would automatically change the color of the cell once the date is over one year to the day to show that the date in the cell has expired?
