Jump / Step Lines In A Chart
Jan 29, 2008
Usually Line Graphs show behavior of a process over time. That is why Excel smoothly interpolates between two values.
I would like to show the influence of some laws on technical requirements. Laws kick-in on a certain date, hence they are NOT smooth.
How to make Line Graphs that jump from one value to the other?
I already tried colums that without a gap and an overlap, but they are out of sync.
For clarification I made an example worksheet in which the question has also been illustrated.

I am trying to create a floating bridge bar chart.
Here is my data and I will try to describe as accurately as I can.
FY 2004 operating margin = 14.6% (while FY 2005 and FY 2006 = 11.2% => So the difference is 340bps)
The "bridge" back to 14.6% = 90 basis points for Jimmy'Z, 30 basis points for stock option expense, 30 bps for marketing -- that's 150 bps of the 340 and I'm trying to quantify the rest of the bridge but is there a way to show this in excel with floating bars - that is to say the 14.6% bar will touch the axis but the other 3 data points are not touching the X axis but are in the air in a step formation... ?

I'm trying to produce step charts like Andy Pope does on his web site using the area chart method. http://www.andypope.info/charts/stepchart.htm. This involves duplicating each of the values in each data series, which is tedious if there are a lot of points. Plus the fact that the area series is offset by 1 from the axis series. Can anyone think of a formula to do this? There are plenty of posts here about deleting duplicates, but I couldn't find much about creating duplicates. I can duplicate row numbers using =CEILING(ROW(),2)/2

I have a chart with percentages and most of them are >40% so I would like te values to start at 40 in the y axis but I would also want to have the 0% show (as it stands there is nothing there) It is a double y axis chart where the % is shown with just a dot and the other Y axis is the actual column. Im not sure if I'm making sense but I would just like to have the 1st value in the secondary y axis be 0 and the 2nd value be 40, and from that point forward scale in intervals of 5%.
So the values in the y axis are: 0%, 40%, 45%, 50%......

I don't know what exactly is happening, but every step of the macro is happening every 1 second. Literally, the BPM is 60. It will execute a step in the macro every second, when in other macro's i've made, it zips right through as if it was on fast forward.

I like to create a float chart in excel. for this purpose I need to have a candle chart and add lines into the same chart. I can create a candle chart in excel. But as soon I add lines to it (additional data rows) the candles are distorted. The principle I'm interested in applies as well to: how do I add moving averages into an excel candlestick chart? As soon as I add the data for the MAs, the candles are distorted.
In short: how do I combine candles and lines in one chart?

I have this code that colors the lines in my Line Chart
Sub ColorLines()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set chrt = ActiveChart
'Here you want to put your own graph
vals = chrt.SeriesCollection(1).Values
'These are the values to determine later whether the line moves up or down. In this example, I just colored 1 seriescollection (= one line in your line graph), with an extra loop you'd do all lines.
It is very simple: When the lines goes up they turn black. When they go down they turn red.
The code work, but only if all cell in the series is filled. If one cells is blank the code error. I'm using #NA() in all cells that are blank, so the chart skip that cell and continue from the next cell's value.

I'm trying to create an area chart to show the change in the number of staff working in my store over time. Unfortunately, Excel likes to draw diagonal lines. That is if I have the following data:
9:00AM - 1 staff
10:00AM - 2 staff
11:00AM - 1 staff
Excel will draw a diagonal line between each data point, rather than creating a box. This gives the illusion that there are somehow half people working at 9:30 and 10:30. Is there a workaround?

I have an xy chart for which I would like to format the lines to be different patterns beyond those available in the format series dialog. I recognise that this will mean using VBA and I am happy to do that. I would like to be able to use patterns in the same way as they are used in a column chart.
I recorded a macro to see which properties were changed when the patterns are selected in the dialog for the xy chart and it is clear that it is only the LineStyle of the border and that there is no interior.
With Selection.Border
.ColorIndex = 57
.Weight = xlMedium
.LineStyle = xlGray25
End With
This would explain why when I use debug.print ser.Interior.Pattern I get -4105 or if I change ser.Fill.Forecolor etc it has no effect.
Is there any way to use user defined patterns to colour the lines in the same way as in a histogram/coloumn chart?

I am trying to generate a column chart with a high-low range overlay so that it looks like error bars. I've precalculated all values but cannot figure out how to add the high-low range lines. The ranges are in the min and max columns.
I tried using custom error bars but it did not work.

I have a chart with sales data on one axis and inventory on a secondary axis. I have the average of each columns of data and want to add a reference line to each axis with it's average. I have added the averages to my data set, but it only adds the reference line to my primary axis. I actually began by manually inserting two lines to the chart (which seems asinine). They actually didn't print because they weren't actually on the chart, but rather just on the spreadsheet behind.

I'm trying to remove lines in my line charts. I searched the internet and find the following code:
Code:
Sub RemoveLines()
Dim ser As Series
For Each ser In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
ser.Format.Line.Visible = False
Next ser
End Sub
However, when I run the code, I got "Object doesn't support this property or method". I did select the chart. I have excel 2003 with vba 6.5.

I want to add a user-form on a chart, which will have check-boxes that will allow me to select series(lines) that I want see and compare in a chart. Currently my line chart has 24 series (Lines) which makes the chart very difficult to view and looks very busy. How do I add list of check-boxes that will allow me to select one or multiple lines that I want to see at a time?

I'm trying to run a loop that doesn't go through every value between the lower and upper bounds so am using Step at the end of the For line:
For j = 0 To s Step loop_step
'Does stuff in here - not relevant
Next j
The amount that is being stepped through is set as a variable previously - called loop_step, and works fine for small values (e.g. stepping through 10 at a time) but comes up with an error for 1000. I haven't checked how large the value needs to be before it creates an error, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a limit on the number you can step through? Otherwise I have no idea what's causing this problem!

I get a report that I have to manually edit everyday. I've done some VBA, but not sure where to start with this one.
The attachment has two sheets, first is what I get and the second is what I want. I'll explain the process i have to go thru now and maybe I can get some help to automate it.
First
-Add the tech number to the first column for each job for each tech.
7988 us the first tech number.
-Then delete every row that isn't a job.
-Add a column with the install date.(report data near the top.)
-Add a column and populate it with the system, which is the sheet name.
Thats why its example.

This little piece of code is where I'm having problems.
A36:A45 will always be the same.
The problem is in getting ("R2:AA2") to move to ("R3:AA3") ...
What needs to happen for the loop to work?
Code:
Worksheets("List").Select
Range("A36:A45").Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets("Month").Select
Range("R2:AA2").Select
I've tried:
Dim rngDC as Range
then Set rngDC = Worksheets("Month").Range("R2:AA2")
So that I can later use rngDC = RngDC.Offset(1,0)
However, when I try rngDC.Select I get an error saying I can't select the variable that way.
Here's the complete code:
Sub Import()
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
With Sheets("Month")
[Code] ....

I have written this code to change the colour of a row of cells to bright green and to change the cell contents of cell(Row, 15) from “L” to “F”: This is the main workbook into which are pulled values from three others. I then want it to open one of the subsidiary workbooks, that feeds the information, to change the same job row to bright green and to change the cell contents of cell(Row, 15) from “L” to “F”. Then I want to save the changes and return to the main sheet: - The ActiveCell contains the Job Number.
Option Explicit
Public rw As Integer
Public Col As Integer
Public Job As String
Public JobNo As String
Public RowNo As Integer
Public wName As String
Public times As Integer
Public Pips As String
Public Nicolas As String
Public Cindys As String
Public wb
Sub FinishedinOfficeCindy()
.
rw = ActiveCell.Row
JobNo = ActiveCell
Col = ActiveCell.Column
If Col 1 Then
Check that the correct
MsgBox "Please choose the Job Number first"column is selected and
Exit SubThat the workbook is
End Ifthe correct one
If Cells(rw, 14) "Cindy" Then
MsgBox "Wrong Secretary Chosen - whoops!"
Exit Sub
End If
All works perfectly when I step through it but, when it is activated (Ctrl+Shift+C) it opens the other workbook and then seems to end? I even tried putting in delays to see if they would help but they didn’t.

I do have code, but this thing (which appears on the Excel window, not the VBE window) doesn't seem to be connected to any of my code.
What is this, and what caused it to suddenly pop up on me in Excel?

My workbook contains several worksheets with queries to external SQL Server database. All queries use background updates. Each query uses a parameter for the SQL query string. The parameter value is obtained from E2 Reports!B4. Manually changing this cell returns results on worksheet Job Summary in range("A6:K6"). This works great!Worksheet Order Details contains a list of job numbers in column B.
I wrote a VBA sub that loops through these jobs, changing E2 Reports!B4 for each job. I then call the Application.RefreshAll function. Finally, I copy "Job Summary!A6:K6" to a row on worksheet Order Summary. If the next job is the same order, I copy with a paste special to add the results.The problem occurs when running the VBA sub. If I step through the code, waiting for the RefreshAll function to finish, the correct values are returned. If I step through fast, without waiting for the RefreshAll, the values for some jobs are copies of the previous job, but other jobs are correct. If I hold the F8 key down or hit the F5 key, all values are the same as the first job.I've tried DoEvents, turning off screen updates, and turning off background updates.
Private Sub
Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink) If Target.Name = "Order Summary" Then ' rj references position on Job Summary sheet Dim rj As Integer ' ro references position on Order Summary sheet Dim ro As Integer rj = 6 ro = 6 ' clear all rows Sheets("Order Summary").Range("a6:a65536").EntireRow.Clear Application.CutCopyMode = False ' turn off screen updating to avoid flicker..........................................

I have a simple calculation - Say 0-6. What i need to do is, if the value is <7 place a 10 in the cell, or if the the value is <12 place a 5 in the cell, or,
lastly if the value is <21.5 place a 0 in the cell. Is this at all possible - as i can only do it with conditional formatting using colours at present

Is there a way to loop through a range of numbers, pick the first 24 columns, do some kind of caclulation for each column and row, the start again on column 25 for another 24 columns, perform the same calculation, go to the next set of 24 columns, etc?
I have tried using, for example, AVERAGE(OFFSET(range,0,0,24,24) and that correctly returns the average for the first 24 columns (range being the range of data I am using like D366:HK389). However, unless I manually change the starting column for the next set, it doesn't return the correct result. I have attached a sample data spreadsheet. There are 9 Locations in the spreadsheet where each Location contains a 24x24 matrix.

Is there a line I can add to the end of my If macro so that if the If section is true it will jump to a point in the macro after doing the tasks outlined in the IF macro? At the moment I have about 10 If macros in a row and it is causing the macro to take a long time to process. They are alos ordered should one become true all the ones following it will end up being false. The computer doesn't know this obviously so is there anyway to skip all the extra processing?
