Macro To Generate A Line Graph With Coloured Pointers And Lables Based On Table

Sep 30, 2009

column A = Date : 01/02, 07/02, 14/02, 21/02, 28/02 (x-axis : shows when the table is updated)
column B = project: x, x, x, x, ,x (name of the project and trend line)
column C = Delivery Date : 01/05/2009, 08/05/2009, 20/05/2009, 30/05/2009, 28/02/2009 (plotted on the graph)
column D = Status : Green, Amber, Red, Green, Blue (status of the project. the points should be the same colour as is described in the table)
column E = Comments: original, delay, supply, out of money, on track, delivered-wow! (these comments will pop up if the user holds the cursor over a point)

NB Y-axis scale : 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009 with increments of 14 days. this will be the same scale used for all projects.

Date Project Delivery Date Status Comments
01/02 x 01/05/2009 Green original date
07/02 x 08/05/2009 Amber delay supply
14/02 x 20/05/2009 Red out of money
21/02 x 30/05/2009 Green on track
28/02 x 28/02/2009 Blue delivered-wow

So id like the macro to draw the line for project x based on the 'delivery date'. The points should be coloured according to the 'status' column and when you hover the mouse over the point the data lable will show up taking info from the 'comments' column.

Would it be possible to create a macro that will be able to generate this graph automatically. I have a few projects id like to do the same thing for.

Use Mail Merge From Table To Generate Data In Line Graph?

Jun 25, 2009

I want to generate a letter to parents that shares reading fluency data from an excel spreadsheet into a table and a chart. I got the info to post into cells in the table through mail merge. (sample below) Now I want to make a matching line chart to visually show the student's growth over time. I want the data on the chart to change according to the data I put in the cells in the table through mail merge. Is this possible?The data in the cell that says "Cory" and the "88, 100, 112" are placed in this table through mail merge. I want to now be able to take just Cory's information and display it as a line graph. If I highlight those cells and choose "insert a table" it doesn't work.

Auto Generate Table For Scatter Graph

Oct 31, 2006

after spending hours searching the forum, I begin to seriously doubt my ability to even formulate a suitable search question. My problem SHOULD be a known one, but I am unable to find any clues. Here we go:

I have made a pretty stright-forward forecasting model. It is used to calculate economics of a coal fuelled power plant (even though that shouldn't matter). The outcome is, among other things, a single number for Profit / MWh in Euros. There are several input data, such as fuel price, price for CO2 emission rights, operational expenditure, capex, etc.

My idea, then, is to lock all in-data parameters except ONE, then let this variable vary incrementally and then produce a new small table with a) the variable data (example: price for CO2 rights ranging from 10 to 50 Euro in 2 euro steps), and b) the resulting net profit in each case. Ideally, I wish to be able to chose which indata to lock and which to vary, i.e. solution need to have certain flexibility.

NB: The calculations are not that simple, i.e. I cannot use a simple formula - I need to use the exising output cell(s) to feed data.

How do I do this?

The outcome should be basically two rows with a suitable number of columns (or the other way around, two columns in X number of rows). The table will then be used to produce illustrative graphs.

I guess I could hard code a table by simply enter data, but heck, that's not the way to use Excel!

Line Graph: (line Graph To Display An Amount Over Time)

Dec 30, 2008

I want to use a line graph to display an amount over time - that's the easy part. On the other hand, I would like to have to group the lines based on a value.

A short example:
Imagine you own 3 different stores and you're selling oranges. So your table looks like this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orangeshm4.jpg

Now I'd like to have one graph (3 different graphs won't work as the rows increase -I need to select the whole column as data source):

Date on the x axis,
Oranges sold on the y axis,
and one line per store (e.g. a green one for store A, a red one for B and a blue one of C, doesn't matter).

Line Graph Based On Date Possible?

Oct 26, 2012

I have a question about creating a line graph, here's the scenario:

Once per week I update our inventory quantity in cells B1, B2, B3. I'd like to show these quantities on a graph which compares the quantity with the date. When the quantity gets updated it would automatically add week 2, when the quantity gets updated again it would again expand the graph and add week 3. Is this even possible?

Week 1
A B
Widget 2
Hammer 1
Saw 6

Week 2

Macro Code To Create Line Graph

May 2, 2014

I have a macro code that will create line graph referring the data given in defined column A1-C4,

Code with Static column range:-

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("'Sheet2'!$A$1:$C$4")
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineStacked

I tried to modify the above code, so it will refer undefined/dynamic data column, but getting an error during execution "Run Time Error - 424:" "Object required"

Code with Dynamic column range:-

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=ActiveSheet.Range("a1", _
ActiveSheet.Range("a1").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight)).Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineStacked

'the calculation should be automatic, if not, then calculate
WS.Calculate
End Sub

and it kept giving me an input celll not valid error on this line: Selection.Table ColumnInput:=RefCell the thing is, I have defined RefCell as a range object, so it should be OK rite?

Excel 2003 :: Macro That Will Generate A List Based On Cells Value

Mar 6, 2012

I have a workbook that has 30 tabs in it. Each tab is a report card for students. What I'd like to do is create another tab with a button on it that when I hit the button it will search through each tabs range of D12:D40, D48:D76, D84:D112, D120:D136, J12:J40, J48:J76, J84:J112, and J120:J136. And if any of these cells has an MS in them then this new sheet I have created will list each students name which is in cell E5 and list what they recieved the MS for. This will be in the same row number but in column B. So if cell D12 has an MS in it then this report will list the students name and what's in cell B12.

Generate Numbers Without Reversing Dozen On Same Line

Nov 29, 2012

I need to create random numbers with 10 columns and 10 rows.

But for each line can not be the number opposite each decade.

79
22
48
70
04
98
09
41
32
56

[Code] ........

see the first line was generated as the number 79, then this same line, can not generate the number 97.

number 22 in this case is OK.

The first line was generated the number 84, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 48.

The first line was generated the number 07, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 70.

and so
97
22
84
07
40
98
90
14
23
65

Combination Line / Area Graph

Feb 28, 2012

I have two line graphs I plot on a 12-month graph. In addition to these lines, I have a range, high, mid, low, for target percentages. Currently, I have plotted the high, mid, low lines and made them dashed. What I would like to do instead of just having these ranges shown as lines (w/ the graph background showing), is use the area graph function to color shade just the area between the high, mid, and low. Is this possible?

Stacked Column & Line In Same Graph

May 28, 2007

I would like to make a graph in Excel, where I present both a stacked column and a line with two different axes. Including a clustered column and a line in the same graph with two different axes is easy, as this combination can be found in the custom types selection in the chart wizard. However, there is no such alternative as a stacked column and a line with two different axes. Is combining the two manually possible?

Macro To Count Rows With Coloured Cells

Mar 27, 2007

I have a sheet with colour coded cells and I need a macro that counts the number of rows with coloured cells.

I've tried the following code but I always get a count of 0 which isn't right.

Sub Count_Coloured_Cells()

Sheets("Issues").Select
Dim i, c
Dim LastRow As Long
i = 1
c = 0
LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

Do While i < LastRow + 1
If Rows(1 + i & ":" & 1 + i).Interior.ColorIndex xlNone Then
c = c + 1
End If
i = i + 1
Loop

MsgBox (c)

End Sub

Remember, it's the number of rows I need to count (i.e. one row may have several colour coded cells but I only need to count it once).
