Is there a way to limit the range of values on the Y-Axis on the lower end? Like I don't wish the Y-axis to begin from 0 but say 500. Is that possible?
I have a set of data values ranging from 650 - 850, but the Excel graph however looks too fine because the Y-axis begins from 0.
I would like to know how can I plot my x axis of a chart with the maximum and minimum value that I have in this variable. Note that my variable is no going from the lower value to the highes one, it is random. So what I did is to use the autoscale of the chart, but it is not working as I would like. Any solution?
The code that I use is:
Code:
' TO GET THE INITIAL and FINAL VALUE and the STEP
Worksheets(wsheet(27)).Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chartName(11)).Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScaleIsAuto = True
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnitIsAuto = True
xScaleMin = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScale
xScaleMax = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale
xScaleStep = ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnit
'After I use them (xScaleMin,xScaleMax,xScaleStep) for several charts, in this way:
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chartName(11)).Activate
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text =VarName
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Select
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Font.Size = 11
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScale = xScaleMin
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale = xScaleMax
ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory).MajorUnit =xScaleStep
' but if my data was between 50 and 250 it is plotting between 0 and 300
Two questions:
1) How do make values on x-axis as words? E.g. apples, oranges, etc.
2) Is it possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order? If I can figure out 1), I can do this as well, but it would be nice to know if it is possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order.
I recently started keeping a new chart to track several different stocking measures. After running the data this morning, I noticed my horizontal axis had blank position holders for data over the weekend. How would I set the chart so that if there is no data in my data range, it doesn't put a place holder in the axis? Sample attached.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a spreadsheet with a chart to show gas consumption in our house.
I have sufficient data to produce the standard "S" curve for a 12 month period and would like to be able to have one chart with the standard "S" curve on it plus a curve of progress in the year to date of gas used so that an instant comparison between planned and actual usage can be made.
The problem is that the 2 curves require a different X axis. The standard "S" curve has an X axis that is 12 months long whereas the current one is as long as it is from the start of the year being measured. Both curves will have data inputs on different dates in the year.
I have a combination column and line chart with the line series on the secondary axis. Is there a way that I can tell excel to scale the secondary axis so as the line always appears above the columns? As it is it appears above in most instances but sometimes appears below the columns.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following two bar charts. (see links below). I would like to overlay both these bar charts together and obtain the chart shown in link 3.
For example, at 4.4 GHz and 1.8m antenna, two values (downtime/year) are possible 15 min or 557min. This is represented in the third figure Since the first chart contains small values and the second chart contains large values for the x-axis, will I able to change this to log scale for ease of analysis?

There is POLICY statement that determine an what ACTION should be applied to a paticular building given a score for "LIFE" & "RISK" which results in varing policies A-D. (The Policy intervention points differs slightly for varing types of building. This excel sheet works just fine, and provides the correct guidance for our engineers by suggesting Policy A-D on input of tbuilding type and LIfe/Risk score. However the Policy is a guide, and they do need to apply a level of judgement with the data close to intervention points.
My Question,
I would like to provide further graphical representation to aid decision making. I have a graph plots the X Axis ( LIFE) 0-100, and y Axis (risk) 0-5 and show the , but what i need to be able to do is dynamically adjust the position where the x&y axis cross, so showing visually the intervention point when different building types are selected.
Produce a chart (not a problem) that can be updated should the length of the X and Y data change?
This may not even need to be a macro, if it is possible to have a chart whose X and Y axis updates depending on the contents of a column?
If you search through the history of even this forum you will see quite a lot of people are looking for this solution.
The first data point of my chart appears cutoff along the y axis
I formatted the x-axis by clearing the check box "Value (Y) axis crosses at maximum category"
If I add the tick mark back in then my first data point does not begin at the origin.

I have a spreadsheet with golfers handicaps, golfers names down the left in column A in rows 3-35. Row 2 has the event numbers titles 1 to 18 (18 events in a year). i need a graph that has the person as the vert axis and the horizontal axis needs to be the event numbers, so i can read down for the person and across to see how there handicaps change from each different event. i have attached the data below.

I want to avoid the Data Labels (for the negative values) overlapping the x axis. Is there a way to do this via VBA?
I know how to update the chart axis via vba linked to cell values, but I can't figure out a formula I can use to calculate the minimum which takes into account the distance needed to avoid the overlapping problem.

I would like to find a single-cell formula that will handle the multiple instances of either the X or Y headings (ex: there are two 'Yes' Rows) and still reach the appropriate summations. I would like to accomplish this without resorting to Macros or manual cell references if possible. I've acheived some limited success with array formulae so far, but find that the multiple instances of 'Yes' cause only one row to be summed before the formula finishes.
The goal of this chart is to show how sales are adding up relative to bonus levels for the month. The problem for me is in getting the right axis tick marks, labels and chart lines to match the values in Columns C and D. This need may be further complicated because the target amounts increase by a fixed percentage (11% in this sample, but it can vary).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have data that starts from say, 17:50 hours. However, I would like the chart to start from 00:00 to 00:00 so it is a full 24-hour period. So up to 00:00 to 17:50 hours, it would be blank then the data will be plotted from 17:50. How do I do this? If I select the existing data from 17:50 and ask Excel to create a chart, the x axis starts from 17:50 (not 00:00).

I'm trying to plot a function with specific values marked on the X axis (or at least distributed according to the said values). Namely, I have something like this:
And while it does plot the Y's as I want them to be plotted, X'es are just used as labels, which causes 0 and 100 to be equally apart as 933,9 and 944. How can I plot it, then, so that I simply select my desired Y values, their corresponding X values and get the plotted function?
i want to set the minimum to be 20 less than the minimum value in the data, and the max to 20 more than the max value of the data.

The category (x) axis title should be horizontal, whereas the value (y) axis title should be rotated. Stepping through the code, when I .SetElement for the category axis title, it appears horizontal as planned. However, as soon as I .SetElement for the rotated value axis title, the category axis title also rotates.
I have created a dynamic chart using defined names, and the cells in the range are updated on a monthly basis. However these cells are copied from another sheet using a formula i.e =sheetname!$cell_no. and until that data is entered they have 0 values - my question is, is there a way to suppress the 0 values which are being 'plotted' on the dynamic chart until they have appropriate values?

column chart displaying various pieces of data.
At the top of my worksheet I have a combo box which allows you to select a local authority name; and all relevant information in the worksheet is highlighted (using conditional formatting, extra series in charts to make relevant points highlight in red, etc).
I've added a series to the chart and changed it's type to line - then with the data labels positioned beneath the points on the line I can get conditional formatted x category labels - all outlined here: [url]
Because my x category labels are fairly long I've had to give them an orientation of -90 and make the minimum y-axis value equal to -200 to give enough room beneath the chart to fit the text in.
As I said above, the values below 0 are just there to provide space at the bottom of the chart, so my question is: is there a way to hide these negative values? I'm sure I've done it before, but can't remember how - I thought maybe a custom number format of #;[White]# would work, but it just inverted my text (white text on black background).
is does anyone know if there is a way of marking the y-axis in a chart with data from a table, so rather than having a fixed segmentation width have the distances between the data points marked on the Vertical to conform to a range in a spreadsheet? I know you can do that for the x-axis. Is there any way to do that for the y-axis as well?
