How To Get A Chart To Work With Irregular Dates Correctly
Jan 3, 2014
I've tried for some time now to create a chart where the x-axis make up for irregular dates. Making the line between 2 points longer if it's long time between them and short if it's short time between them.
I've finally understood line charts doesn't support that and I have to use scatter graph. It seems to work but the dates, the get all messed up. I type 2014-11-11 but the x-axis in the graph shows 2283-12-12 or something like that.
Got a notion that I might have to transform it to the date value manually first but I get #VALUE ERROR
i.e. 2014-11-11 in A1, then I type in A2 =DATEVALUE(A1).
How do I get a chart to work with irregular dates correctly?

I have data that shows titles as 2-Feb, 2- Mar; which is really typed in as 2/5/2012 and 3/15/2012. My chart when graphed keeps showing the X-axis as 1-FEB and 1-MAR. How can I get the graph to show the x-axis titleas as 2-Feb and 2-Mar?

I got a problem with displaying my dates correctly on the X-axis of my combined column - line graph. For some reason X-axis labels appear as consecutive numbers with regards to number of data points. Please see attached.
Also, why does the indent change as seen in this screenshot?
Last but not least, how can I prevent my secondary axis label from coinciding with the labels as seen here?

[Code] ....
In column F I have a list of dates (dd/mm/yyyy).
I can manually filter dates ok, but want to set it to part of code to use automation for a report.
The code when run, finds nothing, where it should. I tried using [CDate] also but also same result.

Is there a way to display only the current month and the past 11 months in a Line Chart in Excel? So if I was to print Jan 2008 Excel graph, it would only display Feb 2007 - Jan 2008 data charting.
The spreadsheet of the data contains data for Jan 2005 - Jan 2008 so far, but only the current month with the past 11 months should display in the line chart depending on what is the current month.

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.

When I copy the dates from this spreadsheet into a new one, in the new spreadsheet the copied dates are different. Looks crazy. Why does this happen?

My workday function doesnt seem to be working correctly, it is including weekends.
My Spreadsheet is like this
A1= 01/01/2008 ( Date)
A2= 30
A3= =WORKDAY(A1+A2,0)
I am expecting the result to be 11/02/2008, but i am getting 31/01/2008.

I currently have an Excel payroll extract that populates a start date and end date via the calender control 11 user form.
What I have found out is I need to inject some sanity to this application. I can not have users select days that are outside of a pay period.
The users should only be able to select the first or the 16th of the month for a pay period start. Then they can only select the 15th or the 28th/31st for the pay period end.
What I am trying to do is have them select the month and the pay period start date, then the end date would automaticly be selected. But I don't want to have to create a bunch of loops to counter for the differing month end dates or leap years.

I am creating a 'HelpDesk Issue Logger' and I am trying to calculate the Network Days and Network Hours between two dates with times. I want to know how many business days and hours are between the two days to give me a TURE 'Response Time.'
I have been to several sites and forums looking for the answer, but I have not been able to find a solutions that works for me. Please find attached a 'stripped' down version of my project.
Variables:
- 'Date Received' (H11)
- 'Date Actioned.' (I11)
-'Response Time' (K11)
Constants:
Work Days = Monday to Friday
Work Hrs = 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM (no lunch break)
Public Holidays = (AC13:AC30)
Formats:
Date Received: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM
Date Actioned: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM
Response Time: d - hh:mm
If there is someone out there wiling to put me out of my missery with this one, you will have a friend for life.

I have some code for changing the scale of my chart axes so that when new data is inserted into the column which the chart sources from (say column B), the axis scales on my chart will automatically adjust (as the Excel algorithm sometimes leads to charts which are a bit squashed). This code works fine, and I have included it below.
I have then tried to introduce an ActiveX listbox so that when you select an item in the box, the reference number generated (1,2,3...etc) then determines which data series is inserted into column B using a vlookup function. However, when I do this, the original VBA code for automatically adjusting the chart axes no longer works.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart

I need also to calculate difference between dates(dd-mm-aaaa hh:mm) in workhours ( hh:mm):
The work period is 9-18 with lunch interval 13-14 The startdate and end date could be out of the work hours and i can't include the extra hours. I can have several days (workdays) at the difference, but i should maintain the format hh:mm.
Ex1:
Startdate 05-03-2013 18:34 ( date to calculation should be 05-03-2013 18:00)
end date 06-03-2013 10:30
Time Difference 1:30 ( from 9 to 10:30 of 06-03-2013 )
will be equal to:
Startdate 06-03-2013 8:34 ( date to calculation sould be 06-03-2013 9:00 )
end date 06-03-2013 10:30
Time Difference 1:30 ( from 9 to 10:30 of 06-03-2013 )
Ex2:
Startdate 06-03-2013 12:01
End date 06-03-2013 14:28
Time Difference 01:29

I am trying to find a formula that will return the number of week days between two dates. My specific situation is that my job sets up work orders (WO) to be completed by our staff. We have 3 dates - the date the WO was created, the date the WO is due to be completed, and the date the WO was actually completed.
I would like to subtract the Complete date from the Due date. Generally, this should always equal zero because our staff should be completing WOs on the due date! But obviously that doesn't always happen. There are times that they complete them late, and times they complete them early (yay!).
The problem with NETWORKDAYS is that even when they are completed on time, the result is 1. This formula counts instead of subtracts. I adjusted the formula to =NETWORKDAYS(A3,A4)-1 which works fine for those WOs completed on time or completed late. But for those completed early, it adds (or subtracts, really) 2 days. So for a WO completed a day early, instead of it showing -1, it shows -3. I've attached an example of WOs and the NETWORKDAYS formula I've used so you can see.
Subtract Days.xls
I'm really looking for something that will subtract week days, not count them.

I am creating a problem report spreadsheet for work. In col C I have a date/time that the problem started, eg, 23-Jun-2006 15:20 and in col D I have a date/time for when the problem was resolved, eg, 26-Jun-2006 15:40. I need to calculate the amount of hours that we were not available for use (due to the problem). This is based on a list of available hours. Eg, on Mondays we are available 19.5 hrs, T-F 22.5 hrs, Sa 14.5 hrs, and Sun 0 hrs.
If I do a straight subtraction, it uses 24 hrs for each day - not taking into account our available hrs. If I do NETWORKDAYS it automatically doesn't consider Sat or Sun - and i need it to - and it does have a DayEnd and DayStart but it assumes they are constants. I found the day corresponding to the date and thought I could determine the series of days between it, e.g., if the start day was Friday & the end day Monday, the series in between is Sat & Sun. Then I could do a lookup on all 4 days in a table & add them all together. But I can't figure out how to do this!

I'm trying to extract specific character from a set of text strings which have irregular patterns. For example:
CJWHCon.D005 - JN Holding Inc Corporate
CUSViWind.D404 - Windows Ringtown Vinyl
My goal is to get only the 'DXXX' which sometimes might be only 'DXX'. I've tried using the following formula but I seem to be going wrong somewhere as I only get 'D'.
=MID(F10,FIND(".",F10)+1,FIND(" ",F10,FIND(" ",F10)+1)-1-FIND(" ",F10))

I am trying to parse stock holdings for certain companies but I am running into trouble because they are not uniform in their form. The data has a general form but each company uses a slightly different style for the forms. These differences are hamstringing my efforts to effectively parse the data. I have attempted to parse the data using the split function to get it into a more manageable form, and then use various comparisons to tease out the right information. This, however, has not panned out like I hoped. Below are some sample data forms and some of my (albeit poorly written and structured) VBA to try and solve the problem.........
I am trying to extract the same fields from each, such as name or number of shares:
3COM CORP 885535104 1,700,000
Prudential Financial, Inc. 432848109 100,000
this would be a desired output.
here is some of my code to try and accomplish this. this seems to work the data if it is formatted correctly, but I would like write a general parser, and this is what I am struggling with. I cannot figure out how to write something that will correclty parse these irregular strings.
txt = ActiveCell.Value
x = Split(txt, " ")
name = ""
cusip = ""
shrs = "".....................

im looking for a way to sort some data exported from an old stock recording software. the system outputs the data as a .csv file but each item bought is grouped into a particular heading, a line is only generated if money is spent under that particular heading. i cannot make the software generate lines if no money is spent so the number of lines generated each period changes.
period 1
3202 fuel £3000
3203 PPE £250
3204 major units £5000
3205 planned maint £212
3207 unplanned maint £457
period 2
3202 fuel £2500
3203 PPE £120
3204 major units £1000
3208 storage £212
3210 windows £457
if the data was regular i could simply add the totals each month and divide to get the average.
what i am looking for is a way to auto sort the data onto lines by possibly injecting the missing headings with zero as the total spent.

I regularly import a list of data into Excel containing employee team names, employee names, and (for these purposes, irrelevant) data. The team name is the only data in column I, and therefore I can easily pick this up an summarise it in a lookup. The employee name is always one row above it, and in column D. However, it is not the only data in column D, and each employee's records contain varying numbers of rows. How can I have Excel copy the employee name in to column J, alongside the team name in column I, but ONLY in rows where there is data in column I?

So I have a graph with years present on the x-axis. I'm trying to format the axis from the years 1913-2012 (right now it's like 1900-2020). In the minimum and maximum range in the 'format axis' box these dates are listed as values instead of years (0-45,000). Is there a way to make these boxes just represent the years so i don't have to convert 1913 to the excel number equivalent?

I have a simple piece of code that creates a chart using the the values in column A as the x-axis and the values in column E as the y-axis. The values in Column A are all dates in this format: mm.dd.yyyy. However, when I collect the x-values they always appear as numbers (1,2,3). Even if I format the axis to Dates, they appear as 1.00.1900, 1.02.1901, etc.
Here is the code (also, I would like a VBA solution but if this is with excel's chart tools, so be it).
Code:
Sub Macro2()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.addChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=""Rate of Productivity"""
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$4"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Sheet1'!$E$2:$E$4"
End Sub

I have some weekly data that I need to produce a graph from (100% Stacked Column). Each time I create the graph using the dates as the x axis i only get a thin line which looks like it represents one day, the other space looks like it is for the other 6 days of the week. I know that you could add an apostrophe to the beginning of the date but this is to be an automated report.

I have 3 different series: S, J, and D. Each series has a list of different dates, and I need to plot the results for each date, while comparing the 3 series. I have created 3 different charts to display the results for each series - list of dates. However, I'd really like to chart all 3 series on one chart, so that you can see how the 3 compare.
I believe my obstacle is that the list of dates are not consistent between the 3. I tried to get around this by creating one table with all the dates, and leaving blanks where necessary (on Sheet 2). However, this created a problem because the blanks showed on the charts as 0s.

I am trying to create a chart with dates from the past 6 weeks (one week at a time). The horizontal axis shows the dates from my data page correctly until I make one of the other data fields a secondary axis and then my dates change from the actual dates on the data page to 1-Jan-00, 2-Jan-00, through 6-Jan-00.
When I do the select data and look at the dats in the Horizontal Axis labels box, it shows the real dates. Why won't they show up on the chart as actual dates?
