Formula Entry Into Chart Title
Feb 12, 2007
I've found several threads describing how to make a chart title dynamic by entering a cell reference into the formula bar with the chart title selected. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have VBA "code" a formula into a chart title that would be a concatenation of several strings. Ideally, I'd like to specify part of the title from a variable, and another part from a user-specified range, as in the following snippet from a module of mine:
ChartSubtitleText = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5")
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Characters.Text = ChartTitleText & Chr(10) & ChartSubtitleText
where ChartTitleText is a string variable that is passed to the Sub. This works fine and correctly builds the title block during execution of the macro, but I'd like to modify the capability to allow the user to enter a new value in Sheet1!A5 and have all of the charts update dynamically without re-executing the macro. Is there a way to have VBA create the chart and build the Chart Title with a formula that will allow for dynamic updating? I've tried having it enter the following line into the formula bar, but get errors: =CONCATENATE(ChartTitleText, CHAR(10), Sheet1!A5)

I'm using concatenate to name a chart title. My problem is that when I concatenate two dates I lose the date format. I'm after a title which looks like 06 December 2007 - 13 December 2007
I'm actually getting 39422 - 39429
The cells have been formatted in date format but lose this when concatenated.
Is there a sollution?

I have a pivot table which I update on a regular basis. There's also routine during the pivot table refresh to assign variables to the minimum and maximum dates I include in the range.
Here's what I'm looking for - The chart title needs to be two separate lines. It should look something like this:
Labor Operations performed from min_date to max_date
(labor op code, description, total ops)
By themselves, I have no problem doing this. What I can't figure out is how to format the font of the first line of the title to have different characteristics from the second line. The second line is sort of a descriptor of the part in bold (in an attempt to keep my boss from asking me questions about what he's looking at)

Is there a simple way (without writing code) to have a chart title equal the file (workbook) name? For example a formula to write in the 'Chart Options' 'Chart Title' box?

I am creating many graphs. I have already split my data so I can use CurrentRegion.I want each graph to have a different title using the text value of a cell which would be (6 * j - 5, 2) inside the For/To, but I can't get it to work no matter how much I tinker.This is the code as is without any of my attempts inside to clutter it up.
VB:
Dim p As Long p = Sheets("ForWeb").UsedRange.Rows.Count For j = 1 To (p - 1) / 4 ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLine ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Cells(6 * j - 5, 5).CurrentRegion ActiveChart.Parent.Cut Cells(6 * j - 5, 1).Select ActiveSheet.Paste Next

I have a very simple template which plots out means and standard errors of a treatment structure. The input is from an analysis of variance so I want to have the significance levels dispalayed in the title. This is simple for a single col of data but when there are more then one it doesn't use a cell to populate the chart title.
From the sheet I've attched the first and second chart have dynamic titles, if you change cell F10 from 0.364 to 0.001 the title on the second chart will change to "Input (**)" as it uses M19 for the title. The problem is that for the 3rd chart titled "CV*TR (NS)" any change has to be done manually (change cell F15 to 0.04 and this changes cell J43 to "CV*TR (*)".

I have a program that updates values quarterly when run. The spreadsheet that it works with also contains a couple of pie charts that correspond to the updated data. the charts only have one series with category values. I recorded a macro to see the code excel uses for creating a new chart and tried to modify the statements to my needs but have been running into runtime error 1004 ("Method ' Cells' of Object '_Global' failed"). The code is as follows I don't have any trouble until the last two statements.
Sub Chart_Updater()
Sheets(Chart1var).Select
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
If Chart1var = "COLI VUL 1 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 1 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 2 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 2 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 7 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 7 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
The variables fundtr1, fundtr2, and emptycolvar are public, and are all returning values, so there is no problem there. Also I can't use ranges like "A1:F7" because the range needs to be variable.

Is it possible to update Chart Titles in Batches. For the following Titles:
'Client 1, Jan 07'
'Client 2, Jan 07'
'Client 3, Jan 07'
'Client 4, Jan 07',
Would you be able to change 'Jan 07' to Jan 08' on all of the above whilst keeping the variable client name, in a single batch process?

I am having difficulty figuring out how to get my chart title to automatically update when my chart changes via filtered criteria. I can get it to change by clicking the title bar on the chart, but would like the title to automatically update as soon as I select new criteria and the chart changes.

Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???

I am trying to make the contents of a cell into a chart title.I know I can do it like this...
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=tab_name!R2C1"
However, I am trying to use the same macro on several different tabs in the same EXCEL worksheet. Obviously, I can't have the tab name in the macro. But, I don't get a title at all when I try to remove it like this...
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=R2C1"
or
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Caption = "=A2"
Is this possible? I am (kinda new at) using EXCEL2010.

Is there a formula that will allow me to look for the existence of any number value in a row of one worksheet and then return a specific number value in a cell on another worksheet? For example, if the formula finds any number value it will always return the number 15 to a cell on another worksheet.

I've been updating all the charts manually each time I update the entries in the worksheet which charts are created from in the same workbook. Is there any way (eg. by use of macros or VBA) that I can have all the charts updated automatically when data ranges are updated each time?

I have a dynamic chart that charts date against bank balance. The balance is worked from yesterdays balance +/- todays transactions. Now I can do this as just a ='day total'+'yesterdays closing balance' which will show the chart as a constant balance running forward from today. Another way to do it would be to use an if statement so =IF(A1<=TODAY(),'day total'+'yesterdays closing balance',"") where A1 contains the date of the transactions in question. This will show on the chart that as at tomorrow the line drops off to zero.
What I would really like is for as at tomorrow the line to just disappear. I can do this is there is absolutely nothing in this cell but if there is a formula in the cell then it shows as zero. Two options that I can think of are:
a: Find a way to have the chart only see the actual value rather than the formula
b: Have an if statement that resides outside of the cell being queried and have that cell populated by the if - e.g. IF(A=B,enter C into cell A1,enter nothing to cell A1)
I'm not sure how to do either of these or indeed if either are possible.

Working on athletics worksheet. Have worked out a formula to attribute a PB (Personal Best) in a MIN range not including the first cell entry (as first entry is not a PB) in events where less =PB
=IF(ISBLANK(F6)," ",IF(F6(MAX(V$5:V6)),"PB"," ")) keeps recognising first entry as PB. Any help greatly appreciated
first entry could be anywhere in the column but all entries after will be below it.

I'm creating a spreadsheet where a test note taker needs to repeatedly enter the date/time code in a column as events occur.
I tried recording a macro that will enter the =now() formula and then copy that over itself with the value but didn't work.
So now I'm thinking I need to just write code that will determine "now", and write that serial value to the next open cell (with care not to overwrite the previous data point). I'd like to execute this with a simple keystroke.
The thought is to start at the top of the column, go down until the next blank cell is reached, insert the time code (can't be a formula that will change but an actual value).

I have a list of account balances in one column. How can I pick up only the bottom number in that column? I have 20 worksheets and want a total across all worksheets of the last number listed in a particular column but each worksheet is different because they contain a different number of rows with activity. So, if in col. C I have:
$482
$1,000
$899
$456
$231
... then I want $231 to be what is captured for that worksheet, but if the 2nd worksheet contains:
$500
$1000
$344
... then I want $344 to be what is captured for worksheet 2. Does that make sense. In the end I want to sum $231, $344.... etc.

I have a cell with a formula in it. I want to use conditional formatting on this cell if the formula result leaves it blank. Given the formula is in the cell it's never recognised as blank. If an entry is input instead the formula then obviously I don't want the conditional formatting.
What formula can I use in the conditional formatting for it to recognise the Cell formula as blank?

I wonder if there is a way to enter my formulas as an array formula using Control-Shift-Enter in a more time saving way than one line by one line
I have 600 rows of array formulas all in column E but at different intervals with some blank rows inbetween
The formulas are in place but just need the CSE to enable the array formula { }
I am not looking forward to line by line entry.
