I have created a gas mileage chart where the MPG line will change from one color to another as the "type" of driving changes (Highway to City). However, the chart also ignores any non-full tank data to eliminate spikes that arise in your MPG calculations when you don't fill your tank up all the way.
I have attached a spreadsheet detailing what i have done and would like to know if anyone can think of an easier way to replicate this chart.
This is for mileage purposes. I have two sheets. 1st sheet I have Date, From, To, Mileage. I want the Mileage cells to automatically equal the mileage it is from and to. Right now I have it setup like this on the 1st sheet B7 is Date, C7 is From and D7 is To and E7 is Mileage. I have a drop down menu for C7 and D7 for our facilities such as Ming Ave (MNG), Coffee Rd(COF) and so on. On the 2nd Sheet I have the chart that show the miles.
example MNG to COF is 8.3 miles.
trying to figure out a formula that would save me heaps of time trying to calculate mileage on expense reports each month, and I cannot for the life of me get the formula down. Following are the specifics:
Mileage is reimbursed at a rate of $0.17/mi for the first 198 miles in the week. Any mileage after 198 is calculated at a rate of $0.56/mi. The mileage log I have is a monthly log, and expenses are turned in on a monthly basis.
Is there a way to create a formula that will calculate on a weekly basis, at the correct rate based on the number of miles in that week thus far?
I am trying to figure out a better way to do my mileage for when I drive for work.
Currently I need to look at a sheet and see where I started and where I stopped and then I’ll see the distance.
Kinda look something like this.

What I would like to do is type in the “to” and “from” cell and have it automatically know the miles based on the chart above.

I am trying to create a formula which will display tarriffs for a taxi depending on how far it has travelled -
Distance Tarriff
0-0.5 miles$1.00
0.6-2 miles$0.80
3-5 miles $0.75
6-20 miles$0.70
I want to enter the exact mileage travelled into a cell e.g. 8 miles, then I would like the exact cost to be shown in the cell below. In this case the cell will display $0.70 for 8 miles.
I'm working on creating a form where truck drivers can calculate their mileage to and from job sites. What I have now is two lists, one is a "to" list, where it lists the Job Sites, and one is a "from" list, where it lists the destinations (usually to Rock Quarries). These two lists are being referenced in the user form as combo boxes. An additional list holds the distances for each to and from possibility.
What I would like to do is when the user selects a to and from location from the combo boxes in the form, the form references the mileage distance from the list of to-from possibilities.
I am trying to create a very simple mileage log that would get data from one sheet when I input it into another. (I attached the sheet). I have it set up so that it the formula is on bottom of sheet labeled store to store mileage but I would like to be able to track it easier on a different sheet called mileage log. So basically what I would like to do it put a formula in the mileage log so that I can just type in the store number in the to and from cells and have it populate it from the store to store mileage shet. I am an amateur. If it is easier I can just make another simple excel sheet that is on a seperate worksheet instead of using the mileage log.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a mileage log for my work as a traveling art teacher. Most templates have you just input the number on the odometer when you started and when you finished. Since I can never remember to check the odometer when I am getting in and out of the car I thought it might be easier to just record the distance from each location once and then record that number of miles each trip. I usually travel the same route so the mileage is always the same.
I have an array of numbers right now, with 3 columns listing my 3 most common start locations. Then I have 5 rows listing the 5 schools I travel to for work, and the distances from each start to each end in the array. On a separate sheet I have my log.
What I would like to be able to do is select a start location and an end location from a drop down list on the log and have the number of miles automatically appear in the miles column. Then I can double this for the return trip and total it at the bottom and calculate my expense.
I am having trouble writing a formula that works for all 15 possible distances, and I don't quite know how to write it so that it references my array and finds the correct distance for those two specific choices. So far I have the drop down menu's pulling from the array but I'm stuck at how to index the array using the information that is coming from the drop down list.
Since I travel to these locations multiple times I think it would be a lot faster than looking up the distance every time and typing it up manually.
I am trying to create a multiple v look up formula to calculate the mileage from two destinations. I have a table with a From column, To Column, and miles column with data.
I would like to automatically calculate the mileage determined upon what the user picks as the two destinations from a drop down list. I thought it would work like this =VLOOKUP(B5:C5,G3:I14,2) But I'm not sure if I can have a range as the lookup value. I have attached my sheet I am working from.
I have a list with all our company cars (300). I also have a list with all the transactions of the fuel cards (12000 lines). Now I need the find for every company car (exact match) the nearest fuel-consumption-date (closest match to the given starting date) and take the mileage of that transaction. I've added an example. I have tried linking carnr and date (like carnr&"#"&date) and match these, but I don't always get the right car number.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do is calculate pay for mileage while factoring in the number of participants. In other words, if the mileage was between 0 and 50 miles, and there were 5 or less people, then this cell should be $35.00. But if it's between 0 and 50 and there were more than 5, then this cell should display 175/the number of people (175 being 35 * 5). In other words, more than five people would receive an equal amount of the total pay for five people (this is because five people are the standard, but there are instances in which six or seven could participate and I was hoping to avoid hardcoding that).
The rest of the if statements simply follow that same formula, but for different mileage/pay rates.
I have a list of mileage rates that correspond with different date ranges. For example the mileage rate for March 19, 2008 – July 31, 2008 was 50.5 cents per mile. I have 11 different mileage rates / date ranges from 2000 onwards.
I would like to devise a way that I could input the date and the number of miles travelled into the spreadsheet, then Excel would check the date entered in order to choose the appropriate mileage rate and calculate the dollar amount based on the # of miles input.
Here are the date ranges and rates in the event that anyone is interested in putting something like this together. I would be grateful for an example for one or two of the rates though and hopefully could extrapolate from there.
1/1/00 - 3/31/00 - 32.5 cents per mile
4/1/01 - 12/31/01 - 34.5
1/1/02 - 12/31/02 - 36.5
1/1/03 - 12/31/03 - 36
1/1/04 - 12/31/04 - 37.5
1/1/05 - 8/31/05 - 40.5
9/1/05 - 12/31/05 - 48.5
1/1/06 - 1/31/07 - 44.5
2/1/07 - 3/18/08 - 48.5
3/19/08 - 7/31/08 - 50.5
8/1/08 - current - 58.5
The spreadsheet i am working on requires mileage between last trip and previous trip.
Unfortunately there will be blank cells between as shown below ...
I have a number of bar charts for which I'd like to colour the bars blue if the associated value is greater than zero and red if less than zero.
Is it possible to get Excel to assign the colours accordingly, in the same way as it does with conditional formatting in worksheets?
I have a Pivot Chart with 5 data series requiring 3 different formats.
Data: In my Pivot Table I have the following Fields - Type, Year, Month, Sales.
The Years are always the most Recent 2 Years (Currently 2011,2012).
The Months are, well, the Months Jan Through Dec.
The Sales are 'Number of Sales in The Period'
The Type is one of 3: Sales, Cumulative Sales and Change.
Sales has a field for every month in 2011 and 2012, the same for cumulative and finally, Change has the difference between 2011 and 2012 sales for each month.
Now when I plot these on the chart I have
Sales 2011, Sales 2012 Plotted as a line chart on the primary axis,
Change Plotted as a bar chart on the primary axis, with invert if negative formatting,
Cumulative Sales 2011, Cumulative Sales 2012, Plotted as a line chart on the Secondary axis. With the same colours per year as Sales, but as a Dashed Line.
I want this formatting to remain static as the data updates, and if possible when the series changes name (which i'm not sure is possible) because, come January the data series will be 2013/2012 not 2012/2011.
With the other formatting is seems to sometimes stay static and sometimes just decides to reformat everything and switch axes and i'm not really sure why.
Is it possible to aply conditional formating in Chart. for eg. my data in is below format

I'm trying to write a macro that will format my chart data based on the corresponding cell value. I have the following code, which runs without error, but the formatting on data points doesn't change. I can't seem to get this to actually change the color of the data point in the chart.
Code:
Sub FormatChart()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim y As Long
Dim j As Long
'this routine will format the charts on worksheets "SL11730" & "SL14100" 'so that data points equal to or above 98% will be green filled and 'all other points will be red filled
'set loop counter to two (contract (4100) & retail (1730))
j = 1
'start loop
Do Until j = 3
If j = 1 Then strwkb = "SL11730"
If j = 2 Then strwkb = "SL14100"

I am trying to format the date in my x-axis which is currently 'month-day-year' but I would llike it to be 'month-year' I know it is because my data that was used for the date is 'month-day-year' but since I am using power pivot I can not change the data. Is there a way I can change it to my desired format so that my pivot chart will only have the 'month-year' format in the x-axis?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI created a bubble chart whose x-axis and y-axis show every 10th value between 0 and 100 (i.e. 0, 10, 20, 30...). The axes intersect at (50, 50) to create 4 quadrants.
I want to erase/hide the values on the axes (i.e. the axes will no longer show 0, 10, 20, 30... and at the same time, the bubbles will still be in the same place) to create 4 blank quadrants and make my bubble chart easier to look at.
I have the table: chart1.png
If the bubble size is 0-5, I need the bubble color to be green
If the bubble size is 6-15, I need the bubble color to be yellow
If the bubble size is 16-25, I need the bubble color to be red.
So, right now my chart looks like this: chart.png
As you can see the top bubble is the right color, but based on the bottom bubble value, it should be green.
How do I make this change colors dynamically based on the bubble size value?
My question is a display/ chart format question. I need to convey what I am showing on this chart in a less "busy" fashion. Is there a way to display the data in an easier to read and see format? In particular, is having both averages on the chart in the same format an issue?

I can't seem to get the pivot table/chart to format exactly as I desire. It seems that as soon as I add 'group by hour and day' Excel forces the formatting to AM/PM and I want to keep it military. I want to group by hour, so that data that occurs at 6:00 and at 6:30 are grouped, and I had to group by day so that 6:00 on 1/1 was separated from 6:00 on 1/2.
Attached is a worksheet which shows the desired chart format (not a pivot chart), and the attempted pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to match the 'simple' chart in look and feel. Any attempts to change the formatting of the row labels to 'h' is promptly ignored by Excel.
Note the two tasks that occur at hour 18 (one at 18:00 and the other at 18:20 (you will need to see the formatting to truly see the minutes)). Those should be combined in the pivot table (and they are) and on my 'adjusted' table (where I used SUMIFS).
Hey Guys- I'm not sure if this is even possible but I need some help. I have attached a file below similar to a gantt chart. I need help with the conditional formatting, as I have manually changed the colors to match what I need automated.
Basically I have 6 tasks and I need to change dates for individual projects but I also need the corresponding color to also change.
I work in a call centre and I record my daily figures. My target is 82%, and I would like a bar chart in Excel 2003 to colour the chart according to wether I hit target or not. If my daily figure >=82% the bar should be green.
View 9 Replies View Related have come across the apparent inflexibility of a pivot chart retaining its user defined formatting whenever it is refreshed.
I understand I can save my chosen formatting as a 'user defined' custom chart, which can be applied post-refresh, but was wondering if a simple bit of code would do this automatically, saving the additional clicks!
how to deal with the attached. How could I adapt the code to call in other 'user defined' charts I may create in the future?
Attached is a chart I am trying to create. So basically, I originally used a line chart but it didn't have the flexibility of the scatter chart, but i am having a very hard time formatting the X axis. First of all - I would like the line in the middle at the 0% point to actually go to the bottom so that the x axis labels aren't in the middle of the graph. Second the x axis labels aren't showing up correctly. They should be quarters: 1Q:02, 2Q:02, 3Q:02, 4Q:02... Finally, how can I show the correlation between these two data points plotted - the R-squared. THANKS!!! Auto Merged Post;I actually was able to figure out most of what I asked. What is remaining: how do I calculate the R-Squared on the chart? Isn't there a way to do it automatically in excel on the chart.
