Importing List To Create Excel Based Organization Chart
Nov 20, 2012
I am aware of the Visio capabilities of importing data into the org chart wizard to create an organization chart. Is there a similar capability in Excel only? I know there are smart art org diagrams, but if I have a spreadsheet of several hundred people, is there a way to import it into a chart (again, similar to the Visio process).
I am trying to create a bar chart that changes color based on a percentage range. Any advice on how to do this? I am using Excel 2007, Windows XP, Sharepoint 2010.
I need to be able to pull information from 5 columns on 5 different pages, and pull all of the unique names out of it. From there, I need to create a list of all of these names. More often than not, this could only be three names, but I still would like this to be automatic because eventually it could be 50 or 60, and manually editing this list would get tedious. Lastly, is it possible to have a list create cells? For example: I have information on row 4, this one will start on row 6. My next group of information starts on row 14. That leaves 7 rows for information. I don't want to leave a large gap at the top of the page, so I'd like to be able to create cells if the list I'm trying to create has more information on it. Seems plausible in my mind, but I'm still new to excel.
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.
I need new workbooks based on category name in the below list. Respective sheets should be copied from the existing workbook with items as sheet names. List can be updatable.
Trying to create an excel chart to create totals based upon different keys. I need to be able to calculate how many customers there are by Manager and then By Rep. Then to figure out how many were New, Current, Total # of RSVP and attended for that Rep. Below is how I have started but I am having some problems getting certain parts. I know when I get one the rest will fall into place. I can calculate how many total customers by manager and by rep just by doing a Countif command but how do I determine the # of New, Current etc. Is there a If Than command? Managers Totals are simply his reps totals.
Example.. A B C D E F G 1 Manager Rep Customer New Biz Current # RSVP # Actual Attend
Need totals to look something like this....
A B C D E F G 1 # of Cust # New # Current #RSVP # Actual Attend 2 Manager 3 Rep 1 4 Rep 2
I am trying to have a list box that when clicked will change the chart data to whatever is selected. There are 2 options you can choose from. Order Cost (Net) and Order Total (Gross) The problem I'm running into is that the data is in 2 different rows. How can I create the drop down box to display the one that is selected? ...
I want to make a bar chart, When i use Excel and try to make it - i get a chart which shows the right column height but the Male and Female bars are BOTH IN 1 Colour. How do i make it so that male bar is blue and female is pink.
Im looking to create a bar chart in Excel 2010 where the totalnumber of widgets is 33 and the number produced so far is 11. The bar chart would be a single bar that represents the percentage complete (33%) with the chart maximum range being 100% which would represent the number 38.
Ive included a mock up example of what the data and chart would look like
The attached file (a copy of my main one) has a list of our engineers, and what stock they carry. The stock parts are the 64, 65, 66... numbers.
I need to create a list from this (as underneath the main table), for all instances where there is a 'Y' in the columns next to each engineer. So if an engineer has 3x pieces of stock, they need to appear in the list 3x times. If they have 1x piece of stock, they appear in the list once.
I've attached a spreadsheet showing the effect I'm trying to achieve. A list (which changes weekly) contains employee details and length of service. Based on the length of service I need to build a new list grouping the employees based on the service length.
I have 6 columns. The 5th and 6th columns are the most important. The 5th contains a figure and the 6th contains a type.
Bascially I am trying to do a basic chart showing the following 2 things. A. Do a percentage chart of column 6 (service) but not of percentage of hoem many lines the product is in. Not based on percentage of how many times Apples are shown compared to other products. I need it to add up everything, then do a percentage of total amounts of oranges and total of for Apples from the figures on column 5. Also, if possible, the pie chart will even show teh actual total figure per product in each (or next to) each pie chart slice.
know the easiest way to do this (step by step) in Excel 2010 and then I can perhaps write a macro for the future?
I want to write a macro to add a surface chart for a Data Range which includes 6000 data points. But the series selected for the chart don't cover all Data Ranges, only part of them.
Public Sub AddChart2(LastRow As Integer, LastCol As Integer)
Dim cht As ChartObject, currentSheet As Worksheet Dim rng As Range, newRow As Range, srcRange As Range Dim colIdx As Integer
Trying to create a macro to run through the following steps when I select a chart and run the macro:
Paste>As Picture>Copy As Picture>As Shown When Printed>OK
I used the macro record feature and when I enter the shortcut it always returns the same chart. How do I get it to run on whatever chart I have selected instead?
I am constantly using this function to copy charts from Excel into PowerPoint presentations and am frustrated with all the extra steps it takes (versus just Ctrl-C).
I want to draw Excel chart Depending On chart Type I Filter From Data List In Cell H4 I & Change The Excel Chart Title Automatically To The Name Of Chart Type I Filter On
ive got 1 sheet,with 2 printable pages in it. 1 being the summery page and 1 being the inventory page.
what i would like to be able to do is. on the summery bit ive got a code in A22 and a number in G22 to save me time i need to create a list in the inventory bit starting at A62
im hoping it will look somthing like this
A62 = what ever the code is ( JR269 ) in A22 A63 = same code and so on until i have 26 in a list, 26 being G22
I am trying to create a list which will summarise information from a dataset depending on two input cells in which dates are inputted by the user. I would really appreciate it if you could have a look at the file I have attached and give me some idea as to what formulae I should be using!
It is important that the position of the output list remains where it is (as ideally I want to draw graphs using the information summarised in the output list.
If your confused now when you look at the file it should make a bit more sense.
I am trying to automatically generate an organisation chart in excel from a dynamic list of employees. in column 'A' will be the "manager's name", column 'B" will be the "employee name", column 'C' will be the "employee number" & column 'D' will be the "employee days" number (an potentially a few more employee attributes)
I would like a printable org chart that is created on another tab which is generated from this list, ideally with the "employee name" and their other attributes shown in the chart.
I am struggling with trying to create a Top 10 list in Excel 2007. I have googled and search the forum but could not find a solution. (Aplogies if i have overlooked a thread)
I have attached an example of my problem.
1. In Column F i would like to extract the names of the Top 10 performers, based on their respective score. Hence, based on the scoring in Column D, Column F should extract the Top 10 performer names from column A.
2. In Column G, same as above, but bottom 10 names
3. From the attachment, you will view some names are highlighted. I.e. Gary & Neil, and Ian & Michael. These are highlighted based on the fact that they have equal scores.
When extracting the Top / Bottom 10 list, i would like to rank the performers with same score differently. e.g. Gary & Neil, both scored 0%, hence they are equal. But in the Top 10 list, i would like to rank Gary higher as his absolute target is higher. (63 vs. 27) . Same applies to Ian & Michael, Michael should rank higher in the Bottom 10 List as his absolute target is higher.
I have ranges that are named Math, Reading, Science. I would like to create a drop down list in validation that chooses the range based on a value in a particular cell.
Every two weeks: During Payroll, we have a list of managers and specific employees under that manager.
The managers name is in Column A and they repeat.
Normally we filter that manager, copy and paste the data into a new Workbook, save it, and send the info out to that manager. We do not want other managers to see the information provided to the specific manager.
This is a long tedious process as there are close to 30 managers.
1. Is there a way to run a macro (presumably based on a validation list) to filter, copy the worksheet into a new workbook for each of the 30+ managers?
2. Is there a way to save each with a specific name like "Payroll Feb11 - Manager Name.xlsx"
My problem is i need to create a drop down box in excell, now i have a list of names,
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4..........
I need all thos enames in a drop down list but i think i keep doing things wrong, I am doing it like this, All names are in cells A23-A33, i have highlighted them and named them (Names) using the name box in the top left corner, i have then gone to Data, Validation, List, Then i have sourced it to "Names" and clicked ok, this is where my problem is. It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes... And when i click on any of them it gives me a list of all the names, when i click on one of the Names that name appears in the drop down box but the original Name dissapears from the box completely!
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4 Name 5..................
If a specific word is entered in a cell I want a list to show in another cell. This is better explained in an example. In cell A2 I have a validation list of names, eg. Mary, Mary Birth, John, John Birth,. . .) In cell N2 I have another validation list of places , eg. Ireland, England, Wales, USA, Scotland, . . ) In A2 if a name with Birth is chosen then I only want them to be able to choose from Ireland or England.
I am trying to filter a range of text and copy only those entries from it that meet selected criteria into a new part of my page. The entries will all look like the following but will have varying numbers before the final Equity/Index part:
IBM US 3 C60 Equity IBM US 3 P60 Equity UKX 3 P5000 Index UKX 3 C5000 Index
I have constructed something using a modification of the find nth word function from this site that allows me to filter based on whether the fourth part (or for the third and fourth choices, third part) shows C or P at the beginning and then based on the value that is written after the letter. However, I have to break down the code a bit further to firstly check whether the final word of the string is Index or Equity to decide which word to check for C/P. I was wondering if anyone knew whether there is possibly a more simple way of running a find within one cell than using the nth word function. Would it possibly be a case of making two subs within a different module and then calling them to look for the specific word number based on what I have in F6 (my original equity/index ticker symbol: for example IBM US Equity or UKX Index)? Attaching code below. I'm sure it doesn't make a lot of difference but in case it helps I am currently running Excel 2007 on a Vista machine but I also use it at work on a Win XP PC with 2003.
In that file, you can see there is a list of somewhat similar data across 5 columns. Some of the entries are duplicates, some are different by only one character. What I want to be able to do is generate a list of all the unique rows of data, taking into account the data from ALL 5 columns. The list can be on another sheet or simply just further down on the same sheet, that doesn't matter too much.
I could do it if it were just one column of data, but struggling trying to do it with several columns.
