Filled Patterns For Xy Chart Lines
Jun 6, 2007
I have an xy chart for which I would like to format the lines to be different patterns beyond those available in the format series dialog. I recognise that this will mean using VBA and I am happy to do that. I would like to be able to use patterns in the same way as they are used in a column chart.
I recorded a macro to see which properties were changed when the patterns are selected in the dialog for the xy chart and it is clear that it is only the LineStyle of the border and that there is no interior.
With Selection.Border
.ColorIndex = 57
.Weight = xlMedium
.LineStyle = xlGray25
End With
This would explain why when I use debug.print ser.Interior.Pattern I get -4105 or if I change ser.Fill.Forecolor etc it has no effect.
Is there any way to use user defined patterns to colour the lines in the same way as in a histogram/coloumn chart?

Split from How To Set Up A Spreadsheet The Right Way
Taking onboard what you suggested I have "rethought" the layout and it is now in a single table format. What had stopped me doing this previously was the fact that I was not able to show 7 days a week for 48 weeks in columns. However thanks to the transpose function all the data is now more user friendly (See Attached Workbook)
You mention the data should be quite easy to manipulate from here, any ideas as I am struggling with the concept of how to display the data in a time series. I assume that it will involve some form of lookup function referenced to the table of times, but thats as far as i can get.

Recently I work on a project involving various formulas and functions in it.
At this moment I am trying to add some option to my file and I will explain briefly.
I intend to include formula which will number the cell in a line (row) when it is filled with some data.
I guess it is connected with array formula and also may be COUNTIF function but could not figure out how to use it.
I will upload a sample file which will show the idea.
Sample file: Number the lines.xlsx

I am making a spreadsheet that will be used to track employee time usage. I would like to be able to create a graph of the time throughout the day that shows only whether or not the employee has entered an activity during each particular time slot.
EX: The graph shows the time from 8-10am in 30 minute increments. The employee has entered activities for the time slots from 8-9 and 9:30-10. When the graph is created, I would like to see times 8-9 and 9:30-10 filled (or, charted, or, however I should phrase it) and time 9-9:30 left blank (to represent that no work was done).

I have a Pie Chart that which is updated based on a dropdown list.
The pie chart works fine for all my dropdown options - except one!
Basically, on this particular chart, the entire chart is filled with one colour even though the split is 90/43.
I am using Excel 2007. The options for Fill are set to Automatic & Vary Colors by slice is checked.

I like to create a float chart in excel. for this purpose I need to have a candle chart and add lines into the same chart. I can create a candle chart in excel. But as soon I add lines to it (additional data rows) the candles are distorted. The principle I'm interested in applies as well to: how do I add moving averages into an excel candlestick chart? As soon as I add the data for the MAs, the candles are distorted.
In short: how do I combine candles and lines in one chart?

I have this code that colors the lines in my Line Chart
Sub ColorLines()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set chrt = ActiveChart
'Here you want to put your own graph
vals = chrt.SeriesCollection(1).Values
'These are the values to determine later whether the line moves up or down. In this example, I just colored 1 seriescollection (= one line in your line graph), with an extra loop you'd do all lines.
It is very simple: When the lines goes up they turn black. When they go down they turn red.
The code work, but only if all cell in the series is filled. If one cells is blank the code error. I'm using #NA() in all cells that are blank, so the chart skip that cell and continue from the next cell's value.

I'm trying to create an area chart to show the change in the number of staff working in my store over time. Unfortunately, Excel likes to draw diagonal lines. That is if I have the following data:
9:00AM - 1 staff
10:00AM - 2 staff
11:00AM - 1 staff
Excel will draw a diagonal line between each data point, rather than creating a box. This gives the illusion that there are somehow half people working at 9:30 and 10:30. Is there a workaround?

Usually Line Graphs show behavior of a process over time. That is why Excel smoothly interpolates between two values.
I would like to show the influence of some laws on technical requirements. Laws kick-in on a certain date, hence they are NOT smooth.
How to make Line Graphs that jump from one value to the other?
I already tried colums that without a gap and an overlap, but they are out of sync.
For clarification I made an example worksheet in which the question has also been illustrated.

I am trying to generate a column chart with a high-low range overlay so that it looks like error bars. I've precalculated all values but cannot figure out how to add the high-low range lines. The ranges are in the min and max columns.
I tried using custom error bars but it did not work.

I have a chart with sales data on one axis and inventory on a secondary axis. I have the average of each columns of data and want to add a reference line to each axis with it's average. I have added the averages to my data set, but it only adds the reference line to my primary axis. I actually began by manually inserting two lines to the chart (which seems asinine). They actually didn't print because they weren't actually on the chart, but rather just on the spreadsheet behind.

I'm trying to remove lines in my line charts. I searched the internet and find the following code:
Code:
Sub RemoveLines()
Dim ser As Series
For Each ser In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
ser.Format.Line.Visible = False
Next ser
End Sub
However, when I run the code, I got "Object doesn't support this property or method". I did select the chart. I have excel 2003 with vba 6.5.

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 the following code for identifying the 1,3,2 patterns from sheet1 and it copy pastes those rows into sheet2. I was wondering if there is a way to modify this code to delete those patterns once it has identified them instead of pasting them into sheet2. In other word,s sheet2 needs to contain every other data except those identified patterns.
VB:
Sub test()
Dim myPtn As String, txt As String, m As Object, n As Long, LastR As Range
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, myStep As Long, i As Long, t As Long
myStep = 10000 '<- change here if needed.
Set ws1 = Sheets("sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("sheet2")
[Code]...

A person on this board did this for me with this so far and I need to be able to view more than 16 rows. I would like to view all the rows it finds. I have 62,000 rows on information this far and will exceed 500,000 so you can see my need to see all involved to save hours of sifting through data. I would also like a place up top near the box (column G.H)(3,4,5) another box for me to enter a new number combination to search. Presently I have to go through the data to find the first one which is also time consuming. I would like to be able to put say for example in the area I am mentioning:
2 6
4

I'm trying to divide the hours between 2 given times in blocks:
i.e.: monday 0600 - 1400 = 8 hrs
2400-0700 [mon - fri] = 1
0700-1800 [mon - fri] = 7
1800-2400 [mon - fri] = 0
0000-2400 [weekend]
I got the first 3 blocks working but got stuck with the 4th one.
It should count only those hours between saturday morning 0000 and sunday night 2400 if it concerns a weekend day. and actually these hours should not be calculated in the first 3 time blocks.

Hope the title isn't too broad. Every time I think I have got to grips with RegExp I get stuck on something apparently quite simple. So, I have a few queries so I hope OK to bundle them together.
1. How do I remove the word 'of' only if it occurs after certain other words (the other words should also go). E.g.
"Vale of White Horse" should stay the same
"Borough of Lambeth" should become "Lambeth" (because 'of' after 'Borough')
I tried "Borough(sof*)" but that doesn't remove either word.
2. How do I remove everything after a '/' (inclusive)?
I have tried "/sw+" which removes the first word after '/' but there could be other words
3. How do I remove everything inside brackets (inclusive)?

I am trying to do an "if" statment to look in every 23rd cell to see if it is greater than 0. if it is it populates what is in that cell. That is fine...
The problem is i want to create the "if" statement just a couple of time manually, than drag it down 300 rows and have it look every 23 cells. It does not recognize the pattern???

I'm trying to create an auto fill pattern to match B4-M4 then repeat with B5-M5 and continue to 350.
So for example, I'd like to manually enter "B4,C4,D4,E4,F4,G4,H4,I4,J4,K4,L4,M4,B5,C5,D5,E5,F5,G5,H5,I5,J5,K5,L5,M5" into column A and drag the auto fill box down until I've repeated the pattern to match all the way to M350.
Is this possible? I tried just entering the pattern as I've posted and dragging the auto fill down, but it doesn't fill the numbers properly and ends up with a strange pattern.

I am using Excel 2007 and I need to search for data patterns that are spread across many columns. I am not sure how to search so that criteria is met across all the columns concurrently.
For example
I am interested in data that matches the following criteria ;
Column B has the value 55
Column C has the value 70
Column D has the value 80
Rows of interest are when all the criteria in columns B,C,D are met at the same time (e.g 55 in B, 70 in C and 80 in D).

I have created a spreadsheet to find cyclical patterns and my next task was to sort these patterns from highest value to lowest.
Next I need to start from the first row of the sorted spreadsheet and find the first row working down that repeats. Once I find his row I have to stop the search and highlight both the original and repeated rows. If the first row has no repeat it has to move to the second row and do the same operation until it finds a row that does repeat and so on.

I was wondering if there was a way to create patterns when copying and pasting formulas?
For example, here is what I want to do right now:
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I650)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I649)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I648)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I647)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I646)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I645)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I644)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I643)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I642)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I641)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I640)
In other words, have a pattern in the formula?
Or something like this, but filling out cells horizontally.
=A1/A100
=A1/A99
=A1/A98
=A1/A97
=A1/A96
=A1/A95
etc...
Or:
=A1*A1
=A1*A2
=A1*A4
=A1*A8
=A1*A16
=A1*A32
=A1*A64
etc...

I'm attempting to do work on pattern detection and actions based on how said patterns occur in a column. Here is what I would like excel to do for me:
Code:
Pattern W1
Example A1=A , A2=A , A3=B
Pattern L1 Consecutive "A" 3 or more
Example A4=A , A5=A , A6=A
Triggers on specific events:
While L1 tracking variable = 0 -- If L1 is found, mark a variable to -2 then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable (-2)
While L1 tracking variable < 0 -- If consecutive L1s are found one after another, then (on each consecutive occurence) multiply the variable by 3, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable
If W1 is found while L1's variable is < 0, then multiply the value of the L1 tracking variable by -1 and add 1, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the L1 variable, then set L1's tracking variable to 0
If W1 is found while L1's variable is = 0, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of 1
All data is in one column.

I have a list of two columns. Here’s an example. The left most column provides the row number.
_ A B
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2
5 4 2.5
6 5 4
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 2
Whenever there are two repeating numbers in column one, I want to reduce certain numbers in column 2 by a certain amount. The amount is determined by half the difference between the number in column B corresponding to the second repeated number and the number in column B corresponding to the row after the second repeating number. The range of numbers that are to be reduced begins with the row after the second repeating number and ends with the last row before number one appears in column A. The values in column A are integers, always starting with one. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
For the above example, after finding the repeating number two’s at A2 and A3, it would reduce B4 through B6 by half the difference between B3 and B4 (1/2). The values for B4 through B6 would be updated in column B. The same for the next repeated numbers, which is one at A7 and A8. Half the difference between B8 and B9 is 1.
Here’s what the updated list would look like:
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 1.5
5 4 2
6 5 3.5
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 1
