i have a dynamic pivot chart. It works well, except the chart area size, it remains the same. Is there any way how the chart area can be automatically adjusted/resized (see the example attached)? Maybe with VBA?
View 8 RepliesMy boss wants me to design a dynamic, updatable chart in Excel 2003. I initially made a Pivot Chart based on a Pivot Table which worked perfectly, but it doesn't look professional enough when printed (or viewed) and she wants me to approach it a different way.
So, I created a graph based on the data in a Pivot Table, and used dynamic ranges as the source for the graph series so that the chart updates when the criteria fields are changed for the Pivot Table. I then added two combo boxes (ie data validation lists) to the Chart sheet, and wrote VBA code so that whenever the combo box values are changed, the Criteria fields for the Pivot Table on the 2nd sheet are updated accordingly, and this in turn causes the graph to be updated as well.
This solution also worked perfectly, but now I've been told to create the graph without macros.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The requirements/details are as follows:
1. The Pivot Table is on sheet "PIVOT", and the graph is on sheet "GRAPH"
2. The Pivot Table has two criteria - School Name and Year Level
3. On sheet "GRAPH" there are two data-validated fields, School and Year, which only allow the selection of valid Schools and Year Levels
Is there any way to make the Pivot Table update when values are changed in the fields on the CHART sheet so that the chart also updates, but without using code nor a Pivot Chart?
I'm trying to resize the data labels in my chart so that the word Institutional appears on 1 line (It's currently on 2 lines) like the pic below:
but clicking the corners of the data label and dragging it does not work for me. I click on the corners and nothing happens. How I can make the data labels bigger without getting the text cut off to the next line?
i need to prepare a bar chart from some data. what i want to do is that i want bar size to be fixed (larger than what automatically comes) and then excel changes the size of chart based on no of x-axis values keeping the bar size fix.
(currently chart size is fixed and bar size changes accordingly, i just want the reverse that bar size is fixed and chart size changes according to no of values in axis)
I would like to click on my chart, which then gets resized automatically depending on its current size.
Situation:
My main macro creates various charts, all of them I connect to the macro "chartMakro". After the main macro has finished successfully, I can click on such a chart and the macro "chartMakro" is launched, supposedly resizing the chart. unfortunately i do NOT know how to tell the macro which is the active sheet, therefore my macro fails to work.
Question:
When a click on a chart launches a macro, how can I tell the macro which chart called it?
'appending a macro to a chart
' MAIN MACRO
'[...]
activeChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Selection.OnAction = "chartMakro"............
I have an excel which creates PPT from the excel. but the graph pasted in PPT are not aligned and formatted.
By aligned, i mean re-size the graph and paste in a formatted fashion (currently they are overlapping each other)
My entire PPT created is off alignment and formatting. E.g heading are not properly aligned (they are touching the line below) and so on.
1) i have office 2003 on a laptop. within powerpoint, i can create a 'microsoft excel chart 11' object. to create a link to the excel data source, do i have to go through the odbc sql setup? it works, but i don't want my powerpoint to be dependent on some excel file somewhere. what are the other options to insert/make a functional pivot chart in powerpoint with the data also within powerpoint? the data as sheet option does not result in the chart being a pivot, it's just a plain chart. it has to be a proper object, not an image paste or a chart that updates links with the excel file open.
2) i have office 2007 on my other laptop. i can not find any suitable object to choose from to make a pivot chart in powerpoint. what's the best way to go about in 2007 version?
3) am i going about this the wrong way with the objects? should i be after vba code?
How can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created quite a nice little macro that;
drills through a lot of key figures, updates a pivot chart and copies the chart to powerpoint.
However it crashes on one particular data set every time with this error:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the _Default property of the pivot item class
The code where the debugger stops is the last line below here.
lngKpi = Sheets("Helpfile"). Cells(lngRow, 2)
Sheets("Charts").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("DK").Activate
ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.PivotFields("KPI # (overall").CurrentPage = lngKpi
I can manually change the pivot chart to the keyfigure it crashes on and thereby workaround the problem in the macro. Also it works for more than 50 other keyfigures without problems.
Please look at the sample workbook below. The chart you see below is fine BUT I would like in a pivot table chart, so I could select any days on the pivot chart. I have tried it to do it myself but for some reason the time is not displaying on the pivot chart correctly. Any help please ?
P.S. If not possible then can we add a scroll bar or something?
I have created a pivot table and chart. The pivot chart consists of three sets of data from the pivot table. Two of the data sets are lines and the third data set is displayed as columns. I made the third data set into columns by right clicking on the data series line and selecting chart type. I change the chart type for that data set to a column and it worked great. The only problem is that when data is refreshed in the associated pivot table, the entire chart turns into columns with completely different formatting. Does anyone know how I can maintain the graph with the two lines and one column data set when I refresh the data?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like a bar chart that will only display bars for positive values. So, if a cell has 0, it won't display anything. I.E. - if i have 10 fields and only 5 of them have values greater than 0, my chart will only display 5 bars instead of 5 bars and 5 empty fileds. kind of like piezeros, but for a bar chart.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a bar graph from a table which is pasted below. Two important things here are :
1. The range of the data for the graph are not adjacent. For the chart, the range will be columns D, F,H and J.
2. The range of the chart will not be static. As per the table below, it is uptill August but next month another row will be inserted and the range will increase by 1 row.
I am creating a chart where the number of data series used on the chart will change every time the code runs depending on what information people are looking for. That part works fine. I need a legend that shows which data series were added to the chart. Is there a way to get a dynamic legend on the chart that matches the data series, without manually adding it?

Alas I need to put more dynamics and fill this data set from other sheets, so I'm putting formula into column A, and this force chart react and insert another category.
In other words I want to have this fill only if data present on different tab(worksheet).
That what I have now:

COUNTA
Counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments. Use COUNTA to count the number of cells that contain data in a range or array.
(I am using different data IRL which is company sensitive so I have designed a simple example spreadsheet.)
Ok, So I have a list of words A2:A4 and I have created a Control Box which allows me to select which word I want from the list.
On a separate tab I have lists of data which relates to individual words from the A2:A4 list.
What I what to achieve is when the word is selected from the drop down menu it will create a Pie chart showing me the break down of percentages and attributing 'companies'.
1. I'm using Excel 2007
2. I'm trying to create a dynamic chart - following instructions from the numerous other threads on the topic
3. When I try to use a dynamic named range in the "Select Data Source" box, it creates a fatal error and the program shuts down.
I have a stock chart that I want to update dynamically if the data record length changes. From the source data menu, I tried to use the following data ranges:
=OFFSET(Candles!$AB$8,1,0,COUNTA($AB:$AB)) ---> Date, x values
=OFFSET(Candles!$AD$8,1,0,COUNTA($AD:$AD)) ---> High
=OFFSET(Candles!$AE$8,1,0,COUNTA($AE:$AE)) ---> Low
=OFFSET(Candles!$AF$8,1,0,COUNTA($AF:$AF)) ---> Close
When I place any of these in the data range box under 'x axis labels or values', I receive the message "This function is not valid".
The MS webpage at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...098011033.aspx describes using these formulas but they don't appear to work.
I am trying to develop a dynamic stacked bar chart, I have a consistent number of columns defining the x axis and a variable number of rows defining the y axis (the stacked data). Is it possible to generate a dynamic stacked chart. I have tried using dynamic named ranges but I can't get it to work for a stacked chart.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a template I used where, over the course of a month, I add an additional row of information (the 31 rows are there, just the information is inserted with macros every day). The charts, though, are daily, meaning that every day I need the charts to show information from the last row entered. How do I instruct a chart to take the last row of information and take the data from there (and automatically create the chart) instead of having to do it manually?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have data in a matrix captured for the different machines we have. I need to make a pareto chart for the PPM's in each machine. This is updated everyday so i recorded a very primitive macro just to avoid making the 15 graphs i need as i have to filter the zero cells, then sort them descending and then making the graph....
The only way of making this in a more lean way is using a vba code?? do you know an already made code i can use for it?? i've searched the site with no luck. Here's a brief example of what i have:
Machine 1 Machine 2 Machine 3
Total PPM Total PPM Total PPM
Defect 1 30 4.5 0 0 0 0
Defect 2 0 0 0 0 0 0
Defect 3 0 0 45 20.4 98 298
Defect 4 22 12 0 0 36 123
I need the pareto chart for every machine's PPMs, sorted descending and as u can see some machines share defects.....
I have graphed a range of data that was generated using VB, but the data is a series of 6 models plotted against each other over a period of 6 years and the data is daily and as such would be useful to reduce the range to look at certain periods , is it possible to do this using the mouse to select a region or would something like embeded text boxes for the ranges of dates the user could enter be better, or would it be better to move away from excel for this part of it be better. Also is it possible to plot say range A1:A5 and A20:A25 against the the relevent dates to examine two separate periods side on side.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a chart that display data from a dynamic named range. Problem is the chart only displays the correct data when I first input the named range into the data source on the first attempt. When the dynamics of the named range change, the range the chart displays remains the same. I have read another post on here where someone had the solution, but I couldnt get it to work for me.
I am inputting the named range into Data Source-> Data Range. The other thread said to put the named range into Data Source-> Series. I am unable to enter my named range into Series. I have also tried putting the .xls filename followed by !(named range) into the series boxes but excel will not allow me to do this either.
I'm working with a pie chart that has a dynamic range as its data source and a dynamic range as its legend. The chart shows ratios of bought items depending on customer type. So, when you switch from a "Hair" customer to a "Bath & Body" customer, the ratios shift and the legend changes as well (i.e. "Hair - 25%" to "Hair - 10%").
Is there a way to fix the colors permanently so that as the ranges change, the colors remains the same for each category?
I've seen some VBA for it, but it was for data in long columns, whereas my data is in one range in the middle of the worksheet.
I can attach the file if it makes things easier.

COUNTA
Counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments. Use COUNTA to count the number of cells that contain data in a range or array.
I have never used charts in excel unfortunately. I just finished watching a few tutorials but still a little confused. I have a WS with a list of items I want to make various charts of how do you make a chart that adjusts when new items are added? (thus dynamic data) Do you need a macro to do this or is it just standard by defining a range within that sheet?
