I do not seem to be able to consistently control word wrapping in the Category Axis area in the series of charts I create quarterly. The individual names appearing are basically the same, but sometimes they word wrap and sometime they don't. In the attached sample, sheet C2-Location: PPO chart is just the way it needs to be - NO WORD WRAP. But if you change that chart to another location it word wraps. (To change locations, go to sheet D2 which controls sheet C2 chart, and change the location to SGO.) It appears that the less bars in the chart the greater the problem.
I have spent 2 1/2 hrs trying to get in control of this. I have changed font sizes, changed the plot area, changed the grid lines scale, changed the cell size on the originating sheet (D2), removed the check mark in Auto Scale on the Font tab, and stretched/reduced the entire chart without consistent success. What is most frustrating is that twice I have "accidently" gotten a chart to all of a sudden not word wrap but don't know why because when I try to repeat what I think I did before, it does not work!
Additionally, at times it may appear correct on the screen, but when I do Print Preview, it is word wrapped! I have searched multiple sites and googled multiple Excel solutions as well as pulled out some books but cannot find any references regarding how to control this.
how to incorporate another category and value axis to my existing chart.
1. I need to add a rank axis derived from my data column (C6-C15). This column should rank from highest to lowest and create a tie if any number is repeated. I have arranged the rank column in cells B38:L38 as they would appear. I would like this to appear on the top or bottom of the bar graphs.
2. Second I need to add the frequency of hits which = 3 derived from cell J1 This should appear on the chart were it is currently titled. This should create another bar graph colored green and labeled 3.
3. Lastly the numbers axis can remain the same as it appears on the chart or if it would be better to align as shown in cells B43:L43.
With a scatter chart, you can use the following vba to set maximum and minimum category values on a scatter chart. Is the same possible for a line chart and if so, how?
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory) If Range("S6").Value "" Then .MinimumScale = Range("S6").Value If Range("S7").Value "" Then .MaximumScale = Range("S7").Value
Has anyone ever succeeded in offsetting category labels in a chart by surpressing the first category label. I am plotting monthly financial data over several years and want to show category labels for the month ends which coincide with quarterly month ends (i.e Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Dec-06). If I select 2 tick marks between categories I get Jan-06, Apr-06, Jul-06, Oct-6) because my first month and category label is Jan-06. Is there a way to offset displaying the first category label by two tick marks and start with Mar-06 and then go every two tick marks between category labels?
I am trying to format the colour of a column chart based on the value of the x axis (not the y axis value). Firstly I need to know if it is possible. Secondly I would appreciate any hints / VBA code that could be useful.
It all works fine but I've noticed an odd quirk which I can't explain nor can I seem to fix. Here's the (reduced) code :
Code: Dim appExcel As Object ' Excel Application Dim chtPareto As Object ' Chart Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set chtPareto = appExcel.Charts.Add With chtPareto ' Primary category axis
[code]....
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 a chart and a number of the data sets have a horizontal data but then some sets don't. How can I add the same horizontal data to the sets that don't?
I'm building a chart wich displays data for each month and there are 3 phases that are defined by month and included in the chart. I've managed to show both of the category series, but I'd need to change the order in which the labels are displays. Now I have the axis in the following form:
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 have a section of my sheet to have the data in the cell word wrapped.
Is there any way to set it up so the row height automatically changes when there is more than one line of data?
Right now if my cell reads:
The other day we went to the market.
It shows:
market.
Meaning only the last line of the data. I'd like it to automatically make the row height change to show the three rows. (And change any of the other rows where there is a cell with more than one line of data)
I have some numeric data that has to be put on a log chart. but there is no option for log charts. so i converted my data to log and then drew a chart but i am unable to edit the axis intervals and starting axis value. whenever i change the value it gets back to its default value,ie 1. can anyone tell me how to draw log chart or how to edit axis intervals and starting axis value?
I send a regular file from Outlook which contains a large amount of data, the intention being that the receiptiant will copy this data into notepad or excel. This works fine if it is going to another Outlook user, however one of the users is running Lotus notes and it causes the text to go onto multiple lines . Unfortunatly i am unable to send the files to the users as attachments so i have to send the text in the body of the email
This is how they see the data

There are always 30 records, some are blank, but are always seperated by a | i.e 1st record ends with MV1080097/1080105
I have tried to create a macro for them to use which will seperate the cells into excel using the delimeter but i am stuck on how to manage the multiple lines which dependant on the amount of text within the cells may vary
I have a database in excel, here's some sample data.
When they click the print button in Cell A2, up comes my form
When the print tags button is pressed, my secondary sheet is populated with the cell they clicked on
Now it's using a font, calibri 11, which isn't proportional but I was wondering if there's a way in VBA to "auto" detect the max width and place words on the next row accordingly (like a word wrap). Here's what I need it to look like:
Here's my existing code to place the comments as is:
I am having trouble entering all the text in a single line in the Microsoft VB editor (the application that opens when "view code" is selected in Excel.
I realize that this is very long, but the VB editor does not see it all as the same line, and therefore I get a Compile error: Expected: list separator or ). Is there a way to have this all on the same line?
I am having a problem formatting a chart in Excel 2010. My chart has multi-level category axis labels, and I would like to have a vertical grid line separating each major group of categories. In Excel 2003, I could right-click on one of the gridlines and then specify the spacing I wanted between gridlines. In Excel 2010, as soon as I indicate that I want multi-level category axis labels, I get a vertical gridline between each category and I am unable to alter the spacing. If I deselect the multi-level axis label option, I can adjust the spacing between the vertical gridlines, but the axis multi-level label functionality is lost. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to using the drawing tools or text boxes to achieve the desired results.
How can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.
I got a set of data which is only 2 colums collecting data problems. The output i get is a time stamp and a fault. Im looking to set a chart up with the time been on the X - axis and number of problems per hour on the Y - axis.
I have some simple data and i want to create a horisizontal bar chart with 2 axis (X axis) the top one showing number of stocks number up to 270 and the bottom with Market Cap up to 1,200. (See attached). I set up the chart and it looks fine but it has only one axis so in order to create a second axis i right click on the blue series (no of Stocks) and go through the motions of setting up a secondary axis. However when i do that it ends up looking like the chart to the right with the Bars Cojoined (which is not what i want) I cannot seem to achieve 2 axis with separated bars
How to autoscale chart using VBA, so i can maximize the viewable area without using the default format axis on chart each time i paste new data to the table,
I have a simple piece of code that creates a chart using the the values in column A as the x-axis and the values in column E as the y-axis. The values in Column A are all dates in this format: mm.dd.yyyy. However, when I collect the x-values they always appear as numbers (1,2,3). Even if I format the axis to Dates, they appear as 1.00.1900, 1.02.1901, etc.
Here is the code (also, I would like a VBA solution but if this is with excel's chart tools, so be it).
Code:
Sub Macro2() ActiveSheet.Shapes.addChart.Select ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=""Rate of Productivity""" ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$4" ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Sheet1'!$E$2:$E$4" End Sub
I am trying to create a column chart/graph with "Days Past Due" on the x-axis and "Quantity" on the y-axis. In other words, data from one column needs to make up the x-axis and data from another the y-axis where the bars will rise to meet that quantity. I was wondering if this is possible. I have not been able to find a way to make it work so far. I know there is a way to do it for a line graph through XY scatter, but I need a column chart.
Probably is in the wrong forum, let me ask a question to justify it being here. How can I force the y-axis min & max to be a particular number. If that isn't possible, how can I add a straight line to indicate the min & max?
