How To Not Display Legend Entry In Table Below Graph
Jul 24, 2012
I have a standard bar graph with 2 sets of data: 1 dataset on the primary axis and 1 on the secondary axis. I have defined the legend entries fairly specifically so the descriptions are long. I have also inlcluded a 'rank' value into the graph which doesn't appear on the graph as the values on either axis aren't at a range that allows it to display. However, I want to display the rank value in a table below the graph. However, when I add the table, the legend entries are so long, the graph gets 'scrunched' and looks terrible.
Is there a way to either:
1.) Only show the rank data in the data table below the graph?
or
2.) Show only the data in the data table below the graph and not the legend entries?
or
3.) Another option to display the rank data on the graph?

I am using bar chart to display top 5 units sold each year to my Excel file. In the data table, I have listed all the units and its number (quantity) sold. The problem is, the legend of the chart displays all the units instead of just displaying units that has values (top 5 units each year) which makes the legend hard to read (see attachment) How do I get Excel to select legends only if there is a value for it?

I want to use a line graph to display an amount over time - that's the easy part. On the other hand, I would like to have to group the lines based on a value.
A short example:
Imagine you own 3 different stores and you're selling oranges. So your table looks like this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orangeshm4.jpg
Now I'd like to have one graph (3 different graphs won't work as the rows increase -I need to select the whole column as data source):
Date on the x axis,
Oranges sold on the y axis,
and one line per store (e.g. a green one for store A, a red one for B and a blue one of C, doesn't matter).

I'm being asked to report on some survey findings containing 60 questions for my company. I've rated all 11 departments from 1st to 11th place for each question.
I want to be able to display a graph showing which departments came first, second and third and also where my department came - in the example of the first question, 7th.
What I'd like is a bar graph (ideally) without any values on the Y axis, the department name along the X axis and text labels at the top of each bar showing the position (ie. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th).
The problem is that if I produce a graph from the following table:
Dept 1 - 1
Dept 2 - 2
Dept 3 - 3
My dept - 7
..then it produces a bar graph with bars in the opposite direction; ie the best department having the smallest bar.
I could just reverse the figures with 11 being the best instead of 1, but then the text labels on top of each bar are wrong. I know I could just label the correct figures by hand with text boxes, but I have 60 of these things to produce!
The closest I came was using the reverse values and having a custom text format to replace the numbers with the opposite text values ie. 11="1st";10="2nd"; but I couldn't get that to work
Any ideas? ....

In the attachment you will see an example of what I am trying to accomplish. What I am trying to do is find VBA code that is either specific to this worksheet or in a macro. When the sheet is opened I enter a date in B2. I then enter data into A7, B7, and C7. What I would like to happen is when the data is entered into A7, B7, and C7 the sheet goes and finds the same date that I entered in B2 and copies that data from A7, B7, and C7 into F7, G7, and H7.

Is there a way to display just the staring and ending labels in a line graph.
I have around multiple line items, each contiaining 15-20 data points.
When I instert line graph with data labels, it becomes very mesy.
So I want to display just the starting and ending number of each line graph.
Manually selecting the data point and adding labels is very time consuming as I have around 200 line graphs, each containing 7-8 data series.

I am trying to compare the frequency of occurrence of multiple unique values within a data set and graph the results as a pareto. I have the formulas working to identify and count the occurrences, and the chart is designed and displaying the data, however I cannot get the graph to display in descending order.
I am unable to sort the data because it is generated from a series of formulas, the returned values of which cannot be sorted. (its hard to describe, see the attached workbook)
I would like to know how I can display the graph so that it shows the bars (primary axis) in descending order (highest value to left, lowest to right) since I cannot sort the data. i.e. For the attached workbook, I want the bars to display in descending number of occurrences: 81,15,5,5,3,3,2,2.

I have a form control listbox, which is populated with filenames from a specific directory. When the user selects an entry I need that text to appear in a cell in the workbook. This is then concatenated with a folder path to open the file to copy and paste some data out into another workbook. I have tried...
Code:
Sub GetWrbkbkname()
Dim strlist As String
strlist = Sheet1.Listbox18.Text
Sheet1.Cells(1, 1) = strlist
End Sub
But receive the method or data member not found error. The cell link property just returns the position in the list! I need the text!!
The only workound I could think of was populating a space in the SS with the directory contents and using the cell link value in a choose function to return the selected workbook name.

I can view the data how I need to by conditional formatting and pivot tables but HR wants to get rid of all rows that: only have 1 accounting line per document such as Doc MI310712 in attached sample So I only want to display records if there is more than 1 accounting line for each document
My understanding of Excel is that in order to get rid of rows that a VBA macro is needed since there is no function to do it. My VBA is limited but is there a way to specify criteria in a filter to hide the rows using a formula?

I am trying to basically search for the last non zero entry in a column and then return a value in the same row as that last non zero entry.
For example:
My first column of the table is time, second column is submission/marking of coursework (denoted by +1 & -1) and the third column is the number of courseworks awaiting to be marked. My aim is to search the third column for the last non zero value then return the time (from first column) that last non zero value appears.

This is how my pivot table would look like to start. Over time I would refresh and more things will be added. I want to make a Pie chart, and everytime I refresh the Pivot I want the Pie to get updated.
[IMG][/IMG]
BUT I want to do this on a separate tab. So basically I want to do a Vlookup of sorts. Where all the Fruit items are pulled and automatically updated when I refresh the Pivot. Then I would do the same for Veggies.

after spending hours searching the forum, I begin to seriously doubt my ability to even formulate a suitable search question. My problem SHOULD be a known one, but I am unable to find any clues. Here we go:
I have made a pretty stright-forward forecasting model. It is used to calculate economics of a coal fuelled power plant (even though that shouldn't matter). The outcome is, among other things, a single number for Profit / MWh in Euros. There are several input data, such as fuel price, price for CO2 emission rights, operational expenditure, capex, etc.
My idea, then, is to lock all in-data parameters except ONE, then let this variable vary incrementally and then produce a new small table with a) the variable data (example: price for CO2 rights ranging from 10 to 50 Euro in 2 euro steps), and b) the resulting net profit in each case. Ideally, I wish to be able to chose which indata to lock and which to vary, i.e. solution need to have certain flexibility.
NB: The calculations are not that simple, i.e. I cannot use a simple formula - I need to use the exising output cell(s) to feed data.
How do I do this?
The outcome should be basically two rows with a suitable number of columns (or the other way around, two columns in X number of rows). The table will then be used to produce illustrative graphs.
I guess I could hard code a table by simply enter data, but heck, that's not the way to use Excel!

My ultimate goal is to take my spreadsheet listing a large number of events and attendees and create a graph that gives a breakdown of the distribution of events by type.
The spreadsheet looks something like this
Event A_________Date 1_________Type 1_________John
Event A_________Date 1_________Type 1_________Kate
Event B_________Date 2_________Type 1_________Mary
Event C_________Date 3_________Type 2_________Lisa
Event C_________Date 3_________Type 2_________Will
Event D_________Date 4_________Type 3_________Jim
Event E_________Date 5_________Type 2_________Bob
Etc. (Note I don't need the date for my information, I was just including it to give an idea of what I'm working with.)
I'm trying to create a pivot table that lists the all the different Types and then the number of Events that each Type has, so I can make a graph that shows it.

I have a table (which has 100s of rows) and I want to find out for each row entry, which column the first non-zero number appears. I have attached an example. Items 7, 12 and 16 first appear within this time period and I would like the First Appeared column to say Week 12 (for Item 6), Week 8 (for Item 12) and Week 18 (for Item 16).

I want to generate a letter to parents that shares reading fluency data from an excel spreadsheet into a table and a chart. I got the info to post into cells in the table through mail merge. (sample below) Now I want to make a matching line chart to visually show the student's growth over time. I want the data on the chart to change according to the data I put in the cells in the table through mail merge. Is this possible?The data in the cell that says "Cory" and the "88, 100, 112" are placed in this table through mail merge. I want to now be able to take just Cory's information and display it as a line graph. If I highlight those cells and choose "insert a table" it doesn't work.

I have a table like this:
Book, Loaned to, Date
A Tale of 2 Cities, John, 1/1/2010
Oliver Twist, Mary, 2/3/2011
Great Expectations, James, 4/6/2011
Oliver Twist, Greg, 6/2/2010
I want to make it such that, when I input the name of the book, it will tell me the person whom I lent it to last and the date of the transaction. Preferably, this should be done without any assumptions on how the table is ordered. For example:
Book= Oliver Twist
Loaned to= Greg
Date= 6/2/2010

I have a workbook where in Sheet1 Cell A1 is a customer name, and A2:A5 contain parameters for the customer. I would like to be able to input those data to a Vlookup table on Sheet2. (The Vlookup is used to fill values on Sheet3).
I have been trying to create a macro to copy those parameters from sheet1A2:A5 by finding the match for A1 in the Vlookup table in Sheet2 and then copying to the corresponding matching row , A2 pasting into column 3 (on the corresponding row of course), A3 into colum 4, A4 into column 5 and A5 into Column 6.

I have a spreadsheet that is being updated every month with new project information. The spreadsheet is a log of all the hours worked by employees on each project. Due to many employees working on the same projects and each weekly log per engineer having an individual row to display these hours, there are many duplicated cells.
I am wondering if there is a way for me to display in another table, just a list of the projects that exist.
For example, the original table may look something like this:
WEEK MONTH PROJECT HOURS
1 Jan A 5
1 Jan B 4
1 Jan A 7
5 Feb C 5
5 Feb C 3
5 Feb B 8
I would like to display a table that looks like:
PROJECTS
A
B
C
In March there could be a project D and I would like that to be automatically added on to the second table, if possible?

column A = Date : 01/02, 07/02, 14/02, 21/02, 28/02 (x-axis : shows when the table is updated)
column B = project: x, x, x, x, ,x (name of the project and trend line)
column C = Delivery Date : 01/05/2009, 08/05/2009, 20/05/2009, 30/05/2009, 28/02/2009 (plotted on the graph)
column D = Status : Green, Amber, Red, Green, Blue (status of the project. the points should be the same colour as is described in the table)
column E = Comments: original, delay, supply, out of money, on track, delivered-wow! (these comments will pop up if the user holds the cursor over a point)
NB Y-axis scale : 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009 with increments of 14 days. this will be the same scale used for all projects.
Date Project Delivery Date Status Comments
01/02 x 01/05/2009 Green original date
07/02 x 08/05/2009 Amber delay supply
14/02 x 20/05/2009 Red out of money
21/02 x 30/05/2009 Green on track
28/02 x 28/02/2009 Blue delivered-wow
So id like the macro to draw the line for project x based on the 'delivery date'. The points should be coloured according to the 'status' column and when you hover the mouse over the point the data lable will show up taking info from the 'comments' column.
Would it be possible to create a macro that will be able to generate this graph automatically. I have a few projects id like to do the same thing for.

I have a table that i use for a customer database. and the end user adds new customers to this table, what i would like is for a message box to pop up whenever cell B2 matches an entry in a column in the customers table. the table starts on row 25, and the column i would like to check for duplicates is column B. I would like the message box to give the user the message "A customer by this name already exists, Would you like to load this customers file?" If the answer is yes, then the row that the match was found on would be copied and pasted onto row 1. if the answer is no, then nothing else happens. I hope this makes sense, i am posting this sheet of my workbook for reference.

I have a table with headers C1:I124, Columns E-H are hidden.
Col C = Agent (list of names)
Col D = #Hits (number of times the Agent's name appears on a list)
Col I = #Strikes (Number of times an Agent fails an Audit)
What I want to do is produce a Watchlist split into 4 sections:
1. All the Agents with 1 Strike
2. All the Agents with 2 Strikes
3. All the Agents with 3 Strikes
4. All the Agents with 4 or more strikes
So I want to display this in a table in the same sheet which has 4 columns as described about listing all the Agents who match that criteria.
eg
Strike 1 Strike 2 Strike 3 Strike 4 or more

I have a dropdown list for data validation on the "display" tab. The dropdowns come from a named range on the "Parts List" tab. When you select a part from the data validation list on the "display" tab it displays the data along the same row from the "data" tab. What i am trying to do is create the logic that will allow it to also display the information below until it hits a new part.
For Example:
If I choose "part1" in cell A1 dropdown list on the "display" tab, it will display "a,1,2,3,4" from cells A3 to E3 (this data comes from "data" tab cells B1 to F1). I also want to include the information in the rows below until it hits a new part. The number of rows may vary. Something along the lines of IF(A1) show B1 to F1, then if A2=blank then show B2 to F2, then if A3=blank display B3 to F3, etc. I need this to be dynamic, if the cell below is blank then display row info.
