Plot Area Custom Gradient Fill

Jan 3, 2012

I'm trying to format the plot area of a X-Y scatter chart in a three colour gradient (Green, Yellow & Red).

The trick is, I would like the green portion to be centred in a user defined place on the plot with the yellow radiating from it, and the red radiating from the yellow. Ideally I would like to define some stops for the green as a user defined shape, with stops for the yellow outside the green stops (like the % stops you get in a vertical or angled gradient, but instead of the stops being simple straight lines or concentric circles from the middle, they would be user defined shapes).

I can do the normal types of gradient, but have no idea how to customise them in this way.

Use One Big Picture To Fill Instead Of Gradient Fill?

Jul 21, 2014

I am currently working on a project and want to use a picture of a cauldron and have that filled in as opposed to a bar graph filled with cauldron pictures. Is this possible? I picture something similar to how someone would fill a picture on a piece of paper until they hit their goal.

Secondly, If I need to do a bar graph I know I can do conditional formatting on the values within their cells but can I create this formatting specifically to the graphs themselves?

Incorrect Plot Order: Area Chart

Oct 26, 2006

I have plenty of experience with VBA outside of charts so that's where I need assistance. I need to get SeriesCollection(4), the PTAI series, to appear on the area chart second from the bottom instead of on the top.

The order for the non-line series should be, from top to bottom:
SeriesCollection(3) - Non-Mission AC ( Training, T&E, AMarc series)
SeriesCollection(2) - Total Pipeline series
SeriesCollection(4) - PTAI series
SeriesCollection(1) - Available PMAI series

Here's the

Sub MakeSandChart()

Dim ChartSource As Range
Dim ChartName As String
Dim ChartSheet As String
Dim yCount As Integer
Dim PAA_Value As Integer

Application. ScreenUpdating = False

passtype = Mid(ActiveSheet.Name, 5, 1)
Set ws = Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name)

ChartName = Left(ActiveSheet.Name, 5)
ChartSheet = ChartName & " Chart"
ChartName = "F18" & passtype
Set ChartSource = Union(Range("SummRowDate" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowTAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowNM" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowTotPipe" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPTAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPMAI" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowPlanPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowWorkPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowDrillPAA" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowBaseline" & passtype))

Legend Overlaps The Plot Area Of Chart

May 4, 2007

I have charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use chartobjects(i).plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that.

Unfortunately when I set these values they still change and get antoher value, there is some scaling going on in Excel and I do not know where that comes from. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned.

De data for resizing the charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.

I show you my code, the part with the for-next is taken from the internet.

With ChtNew.legend
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.Legend.Height
.Left = ChtOrig.Legend.Left
.Width = ChtOrig.Legend.Width '* 1.1
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top + ChtOrig.ChartTitle.Top
End With

Why Y Axis Label Values Inside Plot Area

Jun 29, 2014

I'm using Office/Excel 2004 on a Mac Mini duo running OS10.6.8. I upgraded to Office/Excel 2011 but I find the program so horrible I had to switch back to 2004.

The problem: On one chart, the Y-axis label values have moved from outside the left-hand axis to _inside_ the right-hand axis and within the plot area. I can't figure out how to move the labels back to the right position.

Excel 2007 :: Horizontal Align X Axis Title To Plot Area VBA?

Jun 16, 2012

We have a lot of charts we want to create in Excel 2007. We have templates created that seem to work. (But also sometime seem to not.)

After the charts are created that are placed in their own chart pages/sheets. The problem I'm having is that the x axis title doesn't seem to be centered horizontally wrt the x axis of the plot area. (It does look centered wrt the chart area.)

Some code or an algorithm to control he placement of the x axis title and maybe center it?

Creating Custom Legend For XY Scatter Plot?

Sep 30, 2013

I need a way to make a customized legend for a scatter plot, is there any way to do that through VBA? I have a scatter plot with some points highlighted green, and some points grey depending on the user selection and need to be able to create a legend based on what the user selects (e.g. Green - Category B, Grey - Category A, etc.).

For some reason I can't get Excel to rename points on the scatter, so I feel like there is only one option: create custom images and align them correctly with labels on the plot.

Charts: Vary Colors By Point With Area Fill Effect

Oct 30, 2006

I am attempting to create simple charts to show survey results 2005 v 2006. I have a single series in a bar chart - chart type. The wizard initially makes both bars the same fill color. I right-clicked one of the bars to start the Format Data Series Wizard. On the 5th tab, "Options", I ticked "Vary Colors By Point". A new color was assigned to the top or first bar. So far so good. But instead of these colors, I would like to use a different fill effect for each data point in the series

So I walk through the wizard and desiqn a fill effect and click ok. The fill effect is assigned to both data points. I checked where I had ticked "Vary Colors By Point"
It is still ticked. Can I override this somehow so that each data point can have a unique fill effect?

Auto Fill Custom Format Numbers

Oct 15, 2009

I have the following list of numbers

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0102

and I need to continue the list to

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0326

I tried dragging by the grip in the bottom right hand corner but it changes the first didit only. I tried to put it the numbers in the format

100
101
102

and using a custom format number to put in the extra zeros. This worked fine until I used a countif (or it may of been a lookup) statement in my code to look for 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 and it can't find it as the number is 100. Is there away around this that will save me typing in an awful lot of zeros.

Gradient Colorize Chart Points Based On Cell Reference

Jul 13, 2007

Conditional formatting is lacking. I need to colorize each data point on the graph according to a characteristic cell (not an x-axis or y-axis variable). I have done something similar by simply graphing a group of points as a series and changing the series color. I'm looking for a more graceful solution. From the example picture attached (i would attach a workbook, but the data is sensitive), a point is charted based on two variables and colorization is attempted based on the third variable. i would find the range of the third value, assign a gradient based on the spread, and colorize each point. My VBA syntax is lacking for chart functions

Press Ctrl+1 = Color Purple
Press Ctrl+2 = Color Green

Graph The Following Data In An Area Chart With Line Charts Superimposed On The Area Chart

Nov 1, 2006

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.

How To Set Fixed Print Area In Excel So Cells Within Print Area Can Still Be Modified

Feb 12, 2013

I have a workbook with multiple sheets that I need to print.

Is there a way to create a fixed print area within which you can mess around with formatting without extending or shrinking the print area?

I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.

How To Make A Custom Conversion Program / Formula Between Custom Data

Feb 15, 2014

I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)

What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)

My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.

Custom Transferable Toolbar Of Custom Functions

Sep 2, 2008

I want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.

I have done this and it looks nice and works well. What I would like to be able to do is have my custom toolbar of userform controlled functions be transferable so that if someone else wants my toolbar and attached functions they can install it easily much the same way you can do with an add in.

Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?

XY Plot With Macro

Apr 19, 2006

In the attached sheet I have data in column F and G which I am plotting using the following

Sub evmplot()
Dim i As Integer
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("EVM").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
For i = 1 To 15
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(i).XValues = "=sheet1!R[" & 5 + (i - 1) * 13 & "]C6:R[" & 17 + (i - 1) * 13 & "]C6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(i).Values = "=sheet1!R[" & 5 + (i - 1) * 13 & "]C7:R[" & 17 + (i - 1) * 13 & "]C7"
Next i
End Sub

when I =1 , the sereis should be from R5c6:R17C6. But the first series in the plot is from R6C6:R18c6. Same is the case with other series also.

Plot Points On Top Of Another?

Sep 29, 2006

This may sound like a dumb question, but hang with me. I have two series in an xy plot. One is a line (withOUT markers) and one series is just markers (no line).

The line without markers is created in a way such that it forms a box and whiskers plot. The other series, are trial values that go into the box and whiskers.

I have desperately tried to get the second series (just points) to plot BEHIND the first series (line, no markers). Changing the series order does not work unless both series have lines. I have tried this in a variety of ways (including writing a macro which draws the markers first, and then the lines), but that doesn't work either!

How To Plot No Values In Bar Graph

Jun 3, 2014

I have a pareto for a manufacturing facility that has a list of nonconformists and their occurrences in columns K and L. My issue is since it is a running total for the year at certain times the values are 0 for the number of occurrences. This calculates fine, but the graph is very large and the failures are all located on one side instead of being evenly distributed. I am trying to get it to only plot for what has occurred and not have a bunch of blank values. To make it a little more complex I'm trying to avoid macros.. I can get them to show up blank just can't get the bar graph to resize itself to fill the chart.
