Image As Custom Xy Chart Marker
Oct 19, 2007
I'm trying to use an image as a custom marker on an XY scatter chart. The jpg image is embedded on a separate worksheet and when I copy and paste it via code it seems to be arbitrarily resized. I've also tried to resize the embedded image and set the marker size but it always appears about 3 times the size of the original image. See CASE -0.5 below.
Set seriespoint = chtBaseArea.SeriesCollection(" Events").Points
For i = 1 To rngCombPointsY.Rows.Count
With seriespoint(i)
.HasDataLabel = True
.ApplyDataLabels Type:=xlDataLabelsShowLabel
.DataLabel.Text = rngCombPoints. Cells(i, 1).Value
.DataLabel.Position = xlLabelPositionAbove
.DataLabel.Font.Bold = True
.DataLabel.Font.Size = 8
Select Case rngVehicleY.Cells(i, 1).Value
Case -0.5
Set shpTemp = wrkshtGraphics.Shapes("Soyuz_Small_Icon")
shpTemp.Copy
.Paste
.MarkerSize = 10

I am looking for a creative way to display a pie chart within a data point marker of a line chart.
My database has 3 value columns, Type1, Type2 and the Total (Type1 + Type2)
these are recorded per day (Date, in Column A)
I have a line chart that displays the total by date, but I want to find a way to display the percentage split of a particular day by type.
I was thinking to load the chart image into the Data point marker, but i don't think that is the best way as the data is updated daily and I would have to do it each day for a few line charts.
The other way I was thinking about was to have a generic Pie chat in the Line chart (Maybe in a corner) and the pie would update depending on way date series was selected or Mouseover'd)
the way that I am approaching it at the movement (Not the best way and by far not the coolest way. Is to have a list of all the dates in a column next to the Line chart and using some VBA, what ever date is selected in the column the pie chart displays the corresponding data. But eh challenge is that when there is alot of dates, I am going to be scrolling up and down.
I am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.

to create a chart which shows a current value in relation to it's annual high and annual low. I've created a bar chart and added a series with a value of 100. The next series I added is the value of the marker I would like to ride along the bar.
My question is how do I change the marker value series from a bar to just a marker? I would like the chart to look like this (except a bar, not a line):

I have a simple Excel 2007 column chart which has names listed along the y axis for each column. Associated with each name in a small table is a colour reference. Is it possible to add a small marker (say a triangle or something) that aligns with each column?
Or possibly (or in addition) colour each column differently and in accordance with the assigned colours? I'm doing this with some vba code. but if someone can point out the general principle I should be able to work that in.

I have a dynamic chart which I would like to show markers in a SeriesCollection anywhere the backcolor of any of the corresponding source cells is ColorIndex = 36; otherwise no marker is shown. Something along the lines of:
VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred
when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
With Sheets("Chart").ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
For i = 1 To UBound(.Values)
If "something here to check if .Interior.ColorIndex = 36" Then
.Points(i).MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleCircle
Else
.Points(i).MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleNone
End If
Next i
End With

I have learnt how to create a custom menu in Excel.
{url}
I have also managed to assign a custom image to a CommandBarButton.
What I can't figure out is how I can assign a custom image to a CommandBarPopup. (Not on the topmost level, but one level below... in the ozgrid example, this would be "Next menu".) There is no FaceId or PasteFace for CommandBarPopups.

I have used this code for over a year now and for some reason when i transfer it to a new workbook I am now getting a Run Error 91.
Code:
'Take ActiveChart and copy it as a GIF image to the same directory as the Workbook is in and name it with the Chart_Title with spaces replaced with underscores.
Dim chtCopyChart As Chart, sCurrentDirectory As String, sFileName As String Dim x As Integer, CellCharacter As String
Set chtCopyChart = ActiveChart
sCurrentDirectory = ActiveWorkbook.Path
[Code]...
The code is breaking on this line
Code:
chtCopyChart.Export Filename:=sFileName, FilterName:="GIF"
It almost seems to me like the code is not selecting the activechart, but, not entirely sure.

I have a workbook where there is one chart per worksheet.
The chart may start in a different cell depending on the worksheet.
Each chart has an image on top of it (small image in the corner).
I already know how to copy the chart to the clipboard using a visual basic script. I am getting the first chart object on the worksheet. Is there some way to copy the image and the chart together to clipboard? I assume that I need to somehow group the chart and image together before copying to clipboard. The image will always be on top of the chart but may not always be in the same position on top of the chart.
The reason why it may be good to group the chart and image together is because I want to preserve the location of the image with respect to the chart.
How would I do this via a visual basic script?

I have a function that exports charts as PNG images, that is suddenly broken. The function is very basic: ActiveChart.Export fileName:=chartFileName, FilterName:="PNG"
Now I can guarantee that chartFileName contains a complete path, with filename and extension, so this is not the problem. I am getting the following error: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Export' of object '_Chart' failed. The only thing I can think of is that I had Office 2007 Beta installed alongside Office 2003, as mentioned by Andy in the following thread: Exporting Charts as GIF - Error. I have uninstalled Office 2007 Beta, and run the repair function of the Pffice 2003 install, but still I have this problem.

Any way of displaying only certain vertical grid lines on a radar chart. I've added several blank rows of data to make the chart more of a circle but I don't want every one of the vertical lines to display. How to only show some of the vertical grid lines?

I want to add a control under Chart on the menu bar. This line of code errors with "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument"
With Application. CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Chart")
Change "Chart" to "File" or "Edit" or "Tools" and it's fine.
The Chart item only appears when a chart is selected, but it errors even when a chart on the worksheet is selected.

My workbook simply has multiple columns of data which will be summarized visually in a tag cloud (I have the tag cloud part taken care of already creating either a jpg or png, I simply have to change the extension within a batch file to change between picture formats)
I need to have the tag cloud image display and update depending on which column the user would like to summarize (for now I have simplified the issue by only having one of the data columns in my workbook, and will worry about the user selection of the data column to be summarized later).
My Main Question:
Focusing on the image display and updating now, whether it be an ActiveX Image Control or any other way. I've been playing around manually before I try and code it and I can not get either a jpg or png file to attach to the ActiveX control (both of which cause an Invalid Picture Message).
The file name can stay the same if need be and for now I think/assume that'd be easiest (I have my Tag cloud generator just replacing the previously existing image file of the same name).
Would ActiveX control be the way to go for this dynamically changing image?

I am looking for a way to take the picture name associated with an image ie: (picture 571) and place that picture name in the cell next to the image.
I can see the picture name - it registers in the top left box that usually indicates the cell the cursor is on... and I could manually type that name next to each image.
However my spreadsheet has several thousand rows- each with several columns of information and an image..
I am looking for a way "formula?" to automatically read the image in cell J4 and populate cell K4 with the image name... and so on.
The reason for my request... is I am importing products into a web based shopping cart... to do so I have to export the products to a csv and import that csv into the shopping cart. The process of exporting to a csv- strips away all the images and leaves just data.
I found that I can save the document as an html and that process creates a folder with all the images- saved as (picture 571.jpg) if the resulting csv had the image name... the shopping cart would then look for that image name in my image file and it would populate into the shopping cart appropriately.
This seemed on it's face like a really simple thing to do, I have plenty experience with excel & I thought I'd be able to make cell k4= j4 and tada it would glean the image name & I could simply copy that formula all the way down the sheet & it would be done... but I just cant find the magic button that freely gives up the image name...

I have a scatter plot in which there are, for example, twenty plotted points representing one of three major categories.
We're using a red square, green triangle and blue circle to represent our categories on the graph. Going in to every plot point and manually changing each point so that it has the proper color and style is very time consuming.
Is there a way to designate in the spreadsheet (in its own column or something) that I always want the plot point to be represented in a certain way (like a red square) when graphed?

I would like to insert images (like a questionmark symbol) into a spreadsheet I'm working on, and then when the user hovers the mouse over the questionmark a "help-text" pops up. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to be that simple making a tooltip, however, is it possible to replace the small red triangle that is inserted into the sheet to indicate a comment with an image?

I have a number of image controls on a user form, each being loaded with an image from file.
Image1 being loaded with a picture of a bus image2 being loaded with a picture of a school
And so on
Now what I am trying to do is when that image is clicked the name of that image is passed to a textbox
So the action would be
1 image of bus loaded into image control1 , the name of that image being bus.jpg
2 image is clicked
3 the name bus.jpg appears in a text box
Here is what I have so far
Code:
Private Sub Image1_Click()
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value = bus.jpg
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value= Image1.Name - this does not work
End Sub
Which works but as you can see this is static, as I have supplied the value , were as I would like the clicking action to pick up the name of the jpeg being displayed
So expanding upon this if say image1 is loaded with say a picture of a car instead of a bus
LValue4 = "E:Car.jpg"
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(LValue4)
Now when it is clicked the name of the image being displayed in image control1 would be Car.jpg
And it is this value I wish to transfer to a text box for now will do more with it later
In addition to this I am not sure if the best idea is to have a number of image controls and load each with an individual picture or have one image control and swap the picture by clicking a command button

I feel a bit silly asking this in the presence of so many obvious excel gurus: but here it goes. I've created some user forms, activex controls, etc. that do a series of complex calculations, supported by VBA and it's at the point where I want to roll it out. How do I hide / get rid of the active cell marker on the sheets? I've looked in the "options - view" section and have lucked out.

I am trying to use the following code, but it seems that VBA does not recognize the image control ("Image1") in the worksheet.

I have a macro that changes the marker style for all series in a scatter chart, chosen through an input box.
[Code].....
It works nicely, but I want it to exclude any series that do not have markers (i.e. lines used to indicate a reference value). I've tried an if-then statement after the With statement, but it will add markers to any line series:
[Code] ......
Basically, if the series has markers or line+markers, I want it to change the marker style, otherwise do nothing with the series.
