Line Chart From Dynamic Range Of Data
Feb 14, 2014
I have a spreadsheet that I have setup to have raw data pasted into. Long story short, it pulls the maximum reading for a given 5 minute period and returns the highest value for each 5 minute increment where there was a reading. It does this for all of the different dates entered, returning a separate data table for each date.
What I now need is to graph the data on a line chart. Since the number of time values can be variable, I have to include the entire range (for example A3:B5002). When I graph this out, it has all of the data clumped up at the beginning and flatlines for 99% of the chart.
I tried building dynamic named ranges using offset, but that seems to yield similar results once charted.
See the link below where I've dumped some sample data in (it wouldn't let me upload due to the size and I can't upload only part of it without breaking the whole thing). The data I need to chart is from columns A&B on the GraphData sheet. Sheet 1 contains the chart I have been trying to use. The endgame of this is to have the end user paste in their data and *POOF* charts.
My only restriction is that I cannot have Macros/VBA.

I tried following this post and using NA() instead of ""...no dice, it just puts #NA at the bottom labels instead of spaces.

I have created a chart that automatically expands as more data is added. This works great by using named ranges in my Chart's Series' Values and Axis Label fields. The named ranges use the Offset function.
The problem I am having is applying this same technique to to same chart to vary the number of series that I want to chart. I created a name range, using the offset function. But when I add the name to my Data Range formula, it will not stick. It changes the number of series displayed correctly when I add the name. But after I click OK on the Source Data dialog box, the data range reverts back to the address supplied by the name range variable; it does not retain the name range variable itself. Can Chart Data Ranges not contain a name range variable, especially when name range variables are used in the series formulas?

I am trying to create a dynamic Excel line chart.
All is well, except for my x-axis (which is a text axis). It currently looks like this: Dynamic axis.jpg
I am using the Offset formula. The formula for my x-axis is =OFFSET(Worksheet1!$D$4,0,-3,COUNT(Worksheet1!$D$4:$D$36)). This is to show the axis if cells in Column D are filled up appropriately.
However, in the cells containing the axis name itself, this formula is used =IF(D9=0,NA(),'Worksheet2'!A6). I've tried removing the formula from these cell, but that didn't solve the problem.

I am attempting to use a dynamic named range in a chart data series as described in Excel Hacks (Hack #42 and Hack #52).
Using Insert|Name|Define I have created a named range called CashFlowSaleChartDataRange that is set to the following value:
=OFFSET('Cash Flow-Sale'!$O$10,0,0,NumFlows,1)
When I subsequently assign a reference to this named range in the data series dialog it will accept the answer and my chart will adjust to reflect the updated range. However, if I return to the data series dialog, I now see the range address returned by the OFFSET function rather than the named range reference.

I've read through every thread I can find about dynamic named ranges as source data for a chart. It seems as if everyone can get it to work but me. I have a chart on one sheet that needs to update dynamically from data on another sheet when a button is clicked. Here's my code that runs when I click the button:
Sub Update_Center_Chart()
Sheets("Center Data Chart").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Center Data").Activate
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source = Range("CenterData")
End Sub
I get the error message: "Type mismatch." The data is in B1:F2 on a different sheet. The formula in the named range, "CenterData" is this:=OFFSET('Center Data'!$B$1,0,0,COUNT('Center Data'!$B:$B),4). The data will expand by 1 row every time.

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.

I am having a few problems with dynamic named range in excel 2000.
When adding new data to the range, excel extends the range correctly, but only copies some of the formula correctly. It does not copy the formula that references a cell from another line.
I am trying to create a excel spreadsheet and have a formula =e10-e9, which does not copy down.

I need to read or clear all the line in specific range which will be increasing dynamically. Problem is "Selected File List" table range is not specified. New file chosen with browse will be added to "Selected File List" dynamically. Number of file can't be predicted.
vbaStk.JPG
What I've tried so far is, keep track of the browse button click and add the file path to arraylist. After that, (Row number 9 which is start line + arraylist size) to get the number of line of end of the table. But due to some requirement, I want to read the file from excel file. Something like -Read until found blank line or border bottom or something.
I'm new to VBA and I'm not so sure what I'm doing with vba codes

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?

Imagine I am plotting characteristics of a monopoly game: each row of my data represents one property and has a number of characteristics in columns. I have a scatter plot that draws several series from data in a filtered list. This lets me turn some of the points on and off by changing the filters, because the chart only plots the points that are visible. I'm remaking this chart using named ranges so that it will update each series automatically as the named ranges change. I'm doing this because I occasionally want to move datapoints (i.e. rows in the original data) from one series to another, and I don't want to manually go back and edit the series definitions in the chart. For example, if I am charting a monopoly game and each series represents one player, and each point is a property owned by that player, I want to account for the fact that properties may be traded between players.
I got the chart all set up using named ranges so that each series has one named range for the X values and one for the Y values. These are defined to include or exclude points from the list (think of it as the list of all the properties in monopoly) and it works great... except when I use filters on the source data (for instance, filter out the yellow properties) it no longer removes those points from the chart. Because the chart refers to the named range and the named range is immune to the filtering, changes in filtering do not update the chart. My chart named ranges are defined like this:
John_Properties_Cost = (All_Properties_Owner=$B$115)*Cost_Of_Property
John_Properties_Rent = (All_Properties_Owner=$B$115)*Rent_For_Property
I thought a good solution would be to "break up" the named range so that part of the calculation happens in the chart, like this:
instead of
named ranges defined as:
John_Properties_Cost = (All_Properties_Owner=$B$115)*Cost_Of_Property
John_Properties_Rent = (All_Properties_Owner=$B$115)*Rent_For_Property.........................

I maintain data which gets updated every week. I have a chart associated with this data which I want to get updated automatically. I tried to use dynamic range on the chart and it kinda works. But the issue with my data is that I have data set in a row, followed by a blank cell which is then followed by average of last two weeks. Hence, when I use a dynamic range, it also displays the last value in the row (average), which I don't want to display in my chart.
So what I am looking forward to do is set up dynamic range or any other solution, which automatically updates my chart with weekly sales data without showing the average value in the chart. I have attached sample worksheet here.

I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

I have created a spreadsheet which uses data validation to allow a user to select a company, start Date, end date, and projected months in order to output different figures. I have attached a spreadsheet to this post in case that was hard to understand.
Since there is data validation, indexing, and matching going on, as different selections are made, various tables change as a result. Uou will be able to see what I mean as you open the example sheet and start messing around with the data validation boxes.
The problem I am encountering now, is creating an exponential graph that will also keep changing as the user changes their selections in the data validation boxes. I am unsure if this is even possible, but I figured it was worth a shot to ask. On the example sheet, I have included a graph similar to the one I want, but it only contains data in a certain range of cells, rather than dynamically changing to accommodate whatever data is outputted.
Here is what I am looking for in the graph:
1. Whatever dates are selected by the user in the data validation boxes, along with the projected dates will be on the x-axis.
2. The PMPM figures associated with the selected dates, and the projected dates on the y-axis.
3. Ability to make different selections from the data validation boxes and still have a dynamic chart that keeps updating itself.

I'm setting something that allows the user to compare bond yield curves on a graph. The setup involves a dropdown to select the final year of data the user wants to see and several date drop-downs.
For example, if the user wants to compare the current yield curve out to 2031 against how the same curve looked the end of Q1 2011 and Q2 2011, he would select "2031" in the first dropdown and then select "4/1/2011", "7/1/2011", and "9/8/2011" in the other three dropdowns.
The data is on a separate sheet, and mechanics of my named ranges are sound. However, Excel won't allow me to add my named ranges to my graph.
As is, the series looks like this:
=SERIES($L$5,'2011'!$B$3:$B$25,'2011'!$C$3:$C$25,1)
I'm trying to replace $B$3:$B$25 with CRV_DATES and $C$3:$C$25 with CRV_ONE (when I get this to work I'll add the other curve to the chart). When I try to add them, though, I can't get out of the series dialogue. When I hit enter, nothing happens--no error message, no nothing. The change simply won't "stick".
Here are my primary named ranges and the ranges/functions I use within them:
CRV_DATES: =OFFSET('2011'!$B$3,0,0,FindCurve,1)
CRV_ONE: =OFFSET('2011'!$C$2,1,MATCH(DATE_ONE,StartDateRange,0)-1,FindCurve,1)
FindCurve: =MATCH(CRV_END,MaturityRange,0)
StartDateRange: =OFFSET('2011'!$C$2,0,0,1,COUNTA('2011'!$2:$2))
MaturityRange: =OFFSET('2011'!$B$3,0,0,30,1)
CRV_END: =Sheet1!$L$3

I have created a chart that provides a hisotry of events on a timeline. It relies on named ranges and allows me to change the upper and lower date ranges displayed on the x-axis of the chart by changing the date in cells that define the upper and lower dates. In order to display the events on the timeline I have a table that includes 3 columns... a date colmn, an event description column, and a event height column. To display the information I have used a line chart with data points that uses the "event height" data to determine how high up on the graph to display the event information. I have hidden the line, added a label for each event, and added an error bar that draws a line between each label and the bottom of the chart. By default the labels displayed the "event height" information (as expected), so I selected each label individually and added a formula that causes it to display information from the "event description" column instead of the default value. All of this works perfectly with no issues.
The problem comes when I change the date range displayed in the chart. Currently the chart displays event information for 1/1/2012 - 5/30/2012. I can modify 5/30/2012 to be any date I would like that is greater than 1/1/2012 with no problem. Everything displays correctly. However, if I modify the 1/1/2012 date the labels change to reflect the original value (event height data) instead of what I modified it to (event description).

I created a named range linked to a slider.
Code:
=OFFSET('Slides'!$B$2,0,0,6,'Slides'!$AB$1+1)
Problem is after I put in the range as the chart data range it reverts to -
Code:
='Slides'!$B$2:$H$7

Using the Dynamic Named Range tip, I defined named variables as follows:
Xrange=OFFSET($A$2,0,0,COUNT($A:$A),1)
Yrange=OFFSET($B$2,0,0,COUNT($B:$B),1)
then tried to define my Chart series as follows:
=SERIES($B$1,Xrange,Yrange,1)
but it gives an invalid reference error. What am I doing wrong?

I know how to create a chart that is linked to another worksheet without a problem.
What I'm looking to accomplish is to create a line chart that automatically updates when new data is entered. So if I were to enter data for October 2012 it would automatically update the chart without me having to manually select the data. I tried the OFFSET tutorials and to be totally honest I get lost so maybe can give me a step by step? Also, I only want to have 15 months of data to show on the line chart at one time. So it should show June-11 to Sept-12 to begin with and once data is entered for October (R) it should update the the line chart to show only July-11 to Oct-12.
I messed with it for about 5 hours last night and got nowhere. About 2 hours today and even watched YouTube tutorials. I can almost get the OFFSET but it's a vertical OFFSET. I tried the horizontal tutorial but it still selects vertically.

Does anyone know how to create a data table associated with a line chart? The Data Table option is available for a bar chart, but not line.
The goal is to have a table that displays the data just under the chart. There are multiple charts per page, so the association of the data table is ideal.

I have seen one of your posts in which you make a graph update based on dynamic named ranges. Here is my problem, I already defined the name of my ranges as:
ChurnDiario =OFFSET(Clientes!$E$25,0,0,1, COUNTA(Clientes!$E$25:$AH$25))
Ejex =OFFSET(Clientes!$E$8,0,0,1,COUNTA(Clientes!$E$8:$AH$8))
The issue is that when I tried to enter the values and category (x) axis with:
Values: =offset(ChurnDiario,0,0)
Category (X) axis labels: = offset(Ejex,0,0)
On both, excel replies “That function is not valid”. I’ve tried, but still can’t make it work.

I am trying to produce a line chart, which will use imported data on a separate sheet (but within the same workbook)
The imported data can be of different sizes ie column widths and length. Some columns may contain only zero and should not be included in the chart, and will be to right of the data.
I have created a named range for the data series called ChartData using =OFFSET(Data!$C$1,0,0,info!$C$7,info!$A$2) - C7 and A2 are calculations to set column and row sizes. I have tried to use this as the chart's data series, but without success.

I have the following chart that displays average speed for my bike rides (Green line). The problem is that I don't want the line going to points with no value or zero value. So, the first month would just be the point then, when I enter in an avg speed in Feb then the line would connect to Feb. Is this possible?

Im plotting data on a Line-Column 2 Axes Chart which works really well with 4 data series (2 column, 2 Line) but when adding a fifth data series, the fourth disappears from view. I can see its still there cos I can display the values but I cant get the line to appear. The values for the 5th series are also similar to other series values so its not like the chart cant display it....are there limits to the number of series on such a chart?
