Gradient Colorize Chart Points Based On Cell Reference
Jul 13, 2007
Conditional formatting is lacking. I need to colorize each data point on the graph according to a characteristic cell (not an x-axis or y-axis variable). I have done something similar by simply graphing a group of points as a series and changing the series color. I'm looking for a more graceful solution. From the example picture attached (i would attach a workbook, but the data is sensitive), a point is charted based on two variables and colorization is attempted based on the third variable. i would find the range of the third value, assign a gradient based on the spread, and colorize each point. My VBA syntax is lacking for chart functions
I'm trying to get the bars of a chart to change colour depending on the selection from a drop down in a cell. The drop down is validated to be one of four options which changes the figures displayed in the graph using index matching.I would really like the colour to change to represent what the option being selected is.
I used some VBA code before for changing the cell colour depending on the selection made to get over the 3 condition limit. Could this be easily edited to change a bar graph colour? All of the references I can see on line refer to changing the colours of bars based on their value, I don't want to do this, more an independant cell value!
My previously used code is below:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim iColor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("d9:d129")) Is Nothing Then Select Case Target.Cells(1)
Case "Commercial Final State" iColor = 49 Case "Commercial Interim" iColor = 31
I am trying to format the colors of the bubbles on my bubble chart to Green (>5), Yellow (4-5), or Red (<4) based on the value used to create the bubblesize.
The problem that I am having is that .BubbleSizes is property of type String, not range like .xValues, or .Values. So instead of pulling in the value, I am pulling in the reference and getting a "Type Mismatch" Error. The reference of my data for .BubbleSizes is $D$5:$D51. Each row is it's own series and the list is dynamic, so I need to be able to support future rows without a lot of maintenance.
Here is the code that I have so far.

would like the points in my scatter chart to be displayed with the same font color that is in the Data cells being charted. the cells for the scatter chart contain 2 font colors - red and blue
e.g. Cell Cell a2 is red b2 is red a3 is blue b3 is blue
I have a bar chart that was made from table 1 which has the value in it. I have another table, table 2 that has the name corresponding to the value in table 1. I want to color data points in a bar chart with a different color for each name I have in table 2. I also want to give a data label in the data points with the value I have in table 2 instead of the original data label from table 1. Is it possible to do it?
Certain job descriptions require certain training. Drivers needs these two particular trainings and an office employee only needs that training...
I have a reference sheet with what trainings are required for what job. I then want the next chart with each employee name and subsequent job title to have the required trainings automatically checked. (I can take care of the conditional formatting after that).
if it actually possible to colour data points depending on the colour of the cell of the data it refers to? if not is it possible to colour it any other way i have uneven amounts of data for weach month but still want the months to be displayed, this is the best way i can think of of doing this
i have a vlookup formula that i am using and i have two question
my first is something that i noticed while reading mrexcels book and comparing to what i was told here. i was refered to use column()+0 instead of what mrexcel says of col(the number)-how many to get the number i want.
now my setup is like this
in a1 i have a sheet named anaheim batting totals in a2-a16 i have week1-week16. now i have my formula that i enter in b2 that uses the reference in a1 to look up in the range in sheet week1( i manually entered the range location.) i then copy paste it down to b17 with the dbl click trick and then manually go into each of those formulas and change week1 to week2 to week 3 etc. i want to be able to reference the A column title(whichever week appears) and the a1 cell in the same vlookup formula. in essence to say lookup a1 in this range ex.a1:l450 in the sheet that is in the corresponding a column,i.e. week1.16 all set the same with the same range. the rest i can figure out, but i would like to have one formula to copy to all cells of my chart.
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 need to extract text from a cell between 2 predetermined characters. Below find all possible cases and what result (after extraction) should look like:
Basically I need to extract numbers between (to the left) o or u and to the right + or -. The string ends always with 3 numbers if it. I have also attached excel file of these two rows for your convenience.
How to add high/low points to a line graph, similar to what sparklines have. The file I am using now doesn't allow me to add new columns of data, so I'm trying to figure something out that just updates dynamically using the data I already have in place.
This page has the thing I want to do, but it requires additional columns to be added to work, which I don't want:
How do i conditionally colour chart data points. This is an example of my data from which the chart is created from.
Salesman A 10 Salesman B 10 US Total 20 Salesman C 20 Salesman D 10 Philipines Total 30
When the chart is created, i would like the country total data points to be in orange while the rest of the data points should remain in white. I tried this code and it returned me an error.
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection("Average of Margin").Points("ID Total").Select With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 36 .Pattern = xlSolid End With
I also tried the online F1 help it told me to use Points(Index). However i do not want to refer to the ponint with an index as the number of salesman or country could change. Therefore changing the index points.
I have a VBA script that walks through the series of points on a chart and sets color based on other parameters unique to each point. Unfortunately, this doesn't see to work.
Running the following code, the .MarkerBackgroundColor and .MarkerForegroundColor commands seem to have no effect:
With myChtObj.Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(Counter) .MarkerSize = 8 .MarkerStyle = xlDiamond .Shadow = True .MarkerBackgroundColor = RGB(250, 250, 250) ' These have no effect .MarkerForegroundColor = RGB(0, 0, 0) ' These have no effect .MarkerTransparency = 0
End With
Setting these parameters for the series as a whole does work, but not for individual points. Is this a known issue? Is this unique to the Mac version of Excel?
I have the following chart that displays average speed for my bike rides (Green line). The problem is that I don't want the line going to points with no value or zero value. So, the first month would just be the point then, when I enter in an avg speed in Feb then the line would connect to Feb. Is this possible?
I have a macro that runs every 15 minutes and stores data into a table. This table is attached to a chart and auto updates with the new data every 15minutes. The table will house historical data over time, however I only want the chart to reflect the last 96 entries (15min data points over 24hours). So, once i have enough data my table will be A2:A97. When A98 is populated, i want the data in A2 to be removed from the chart only.
Here is a breakdown:
A2:A97 is currently displayed on the chart. I enter new data into A98. The chart will now display A3:A98. I enter new data into A99. The chart will now display A4:A99. I enter new data into A100. The chart will now display A5:A100. and so on.
How I can accomplish this? Does this need to be done in VBA?

I have a time series chart ( dates on x axis , with the data values on y axis ). It is a line chart. So column A has the dates, and column B has the values. Both have length 100. Now, column C can be considered to be the "flag" column. If a cell in Column C has the flag set to true , then the corresponding date/data values in the chart needs to be highlighted or formatted differently
I tried playing around with conditional formatting of x-axis but could not make any progress. Do I need to create a new data series with the C column?
Also given that there are 100 date values, I dont want all x-axis points to be listed on the chart. I guess excel by default shows the date points as the user increases/decreases size. But I dont want the specifically formatted date points to be skipped .
Following my bosses recent charting attempts involving multicoloured backgrounds, graduated bars, textured boxes, mis-matched fonts etc, etc, which frankly showed no information whatever, I was asked to simplify them.
I did so, as in the two attachments, but the response is now along the lines of "well, yes, but they aren't very exciting, are they?"
I would like to find the intersection points of all of the linesshown on the included chart. If that could be output into a table, by the day, that would be ultimately what I am after. http://bladeseri.50megs.com/Intersects.png. Guess 50megs.com doesn't allow this type of reference.

How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D 1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date 2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan 3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3) 4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I've created a bar chart that I want to add some text boxes to. I want the text boxes to read what is in Cell A1 for example as the information in that cell will change over time.
How do I create a link between the information displayed in the text box and what's in Cell A1?
I have an Excel chart graphing two data records. As the data points cross, one is in "back" and one is in "front". I would like to reverse the current layout. Is this possible?
Background: I have a Chart sheet with a combination bar/line chart on it. Data is coming from a "datasheet". There is a combo box on the chart sheet that allows you to choose a specific office whose data you want to view. Pick an office from the dropdown and the chart changes. The data is a count of closed cases by month. The data sheet shows 22 Offices with their monthly data, along with entries for each month of the Upper Control Point, Lower Control Point and Mean based on the nationwide data for that month.
The chart itself uses bars to show the office's case count per month, and I've incorporated 3 additional data series to plot the UCP, LCP and Mean as lines for each month.
I'd like to change the color of the bars to be Blue, Green or Red depending on where they fall in the 3 lines. I sort of have it working, but I'm stuck.
The code below grabs the value of each series point and compares it to the 3 control points and does change the colors. I've figured out how to use the If, next to change from one series point to the next, but cannot figure out how to loop through each of the control points. As it stands now, it looks only at the first month's control point and uses that for each successive month.
I hope this is clear and I've tried to keep it as short as possible while still providing enough information.

I have been trying to work on this excel worksheet for a while. I have give the charge column (tab:data) and the rate chart (matrix type with weight and zone). I want to find the formula that would tell me if the charge is in the rate chart (I know it would use countif), and tell me what the zone and the weight associate with it. Using
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?
