I've been working on this for a couple hours and I am close to getting it how I want. Basically I want to have a rolling 15 month graph that will change according to the month you choose in the drop down tab. Example: I choose july 2007, the graph will show data from july 2007 to September 2008. I have the graph functioning, however my formulas are off (collecting the wrong data). I've included a spread sheet

One of our govt. agencies requires that I compute the 24-month rolling averages of the daily average input to a manufacturing process. In this instance, the agency is demanding the rolling average since 2003, so there are a fair number of data points involved. The process control computer can provide me the daily data (attached file contains 30 months of data), but cannot compute the 24-month rolling average.

The YTD 10 column is fine that will change everytime you update each month. I was wondering if there was a formula I could use for the Rolling 12 month Column.
At the moment it is averging from Mar 09-Feb10 which is correct but when it comes to putting in data for Mar 10, the Rolling 12 month column will obviously not change.
Is there a way of moving the formula along one each time you input data into a new month. So when Mar 10 has been entered the rolling 12 month column will pick up Apr-09-Mar-10 then when Apr 10 has been entered the formula will change again to May-09-APr-10?
I have researched and read multiple threads related to graphing rolling averages per month. I've setup my own but I cannot get it to graph correctly. The x axis will be the days of the month ie. 1-31. The y axis is obviously the sales volume. The legend should be a line graph for each individual month sales. I want the graph to reflect the current month and previous 12 full months.
I used the file user rockycj started for another user in a different thread labeled, "Excel Line Chart - 12 month chart moving with dates ". It was very helpful and I'm trying to get this completed before my deadline. If anybody could take a look and let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help. I have attached the file for reference.
In a worksheet, I have the following columns:
A: Name
B: Absence Type
D: Date
F: Event
"A" is the employee name. "B" explains the type of absence, (SICK, LATE, UNAUTHORISED, UNPLANNED). "F" states if the absence is the first date of the instance (TRUE) or a subsequent day of the same instance (FALSE).
In order to effectively monitor absence levels, I'm looking to calculate a rolling % of each absence type.
I will require a column "L" that tallies the number of total number of "TRUE" instances for each absence type, per person, within the last 12 months. A column "M" that tallies the total number of instances of an absence type, per person, within the last 12 months. And finally, based on column "M", the % of that absence type within the last 12 months.
Regarding that final column, I have been advised that to obtain this value the basis of the calculation would be "(Number of Instances / 220) * 100". I have been told 220 represents the approximate number of days an employee should work over a twelve month period, but I am dubious about the accuracy of this calculation and any alterntives.
Trying to set up a 12 month rolling sum. However, the only issue with it is that there a re future date cells already in place (august through December of this year). Is there a way to have a formula automatically ignore these by using todays date or something? That was the person using the workbook doesn't have to delete these columns and re-add in the future?

Alas I need to put more dynamics and fill this data set from other sheets, so I'm putting formula into column A, and this force chart react and insert another category.
In other words I want to have this fill only if data present on different tab(worksheet).
That what I have now:
[Code] ........
COUNTA
Counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments. Use COUNTA to count the number of cells that contain data in a range or array.
Is there anyway for a chart to show only a certain range, ie the past 12 months, without having to update the range every month?
We need to show our scrap rate over the last 3 years. At the end of every month we add a new line. When we enter the number of pieces scrapped for this month I want the chart to drop the number scrapped in January '07
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.
Is there a way to display only the current month and the past 11 months in a Line Chart in Excel? So if I was to print Jan 2008 Excel graph, it would only display Feb 2007 - Jan 2008 data charting.
The spreadsheet of the data contains data for Jan 2005 - Jan 2008 so far, but only the current month with the past 11 months should display in the line chart depending on what is the current month.
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 a sales level that I need to track...My rolling 12 months' sales must be $85,000 and my currently monthly sales must be $7,000. I have a sheet that tracks the $85,000 and tells me what I need to achieve that, but I haven't figured out how to include the $7,000 monthly minimum....
The chart below is what I have. So for example, this month it's telling me I only need to sell another 3016.46 to hit the $85,000 rolling 12, but I actually need to hit $4821.79 to meet the $7k minimum.

I'm graphing data from November 1994 to present. Since it's such a long time period, I only want to indicate a given year once (1994, 1995, 1996, etc.) with a tick mark every quarter (e.g. 1994 | | | 1995 | | | , etc).
I'm having difficulty doing so since the graph starts in November. The graph right now shows 1994 as a full year and thus the data doesn't correspond with the correct dates.
I have created some charts for my work and one of them is a line chart that spreads across one year with values for each month. Well they want the graph to always show one month ahead of where we are out. So there is actuals in for Sep. but then the line graph drops all the way to 0 for Oct. I don't want to have the graph bottom out when there is a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am making a spreadsheet that will be used to track employee time usage. I would like to be able to create a graph of the time throughout the day that shows only whether or not the employee has entered an activity during each particular time slot.
EX: The graph shows the time from 8-10am in 30 minute increments. The employee has entered activities for the time slots from 8-9 and 9:30-10. When the graph is created, I would like to see times 8-9 and 9:30-10 filled (or, charted, or, however I should phrase it) and time 9-9:30 left blank (to represent that no work was done).
I have a countif statement based on certain criteria in a table which is reading off of a drop down list on a separate sheet.
Apple (a1) =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A1) ...and the results are 3
Pear (a2) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A2) ..and the results 0
Banana (a3) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A3) ...and the results are 1
I have also set up a bar graph (this may change to a pie chart at some point) which is feeding from this. My question is, if I do not want to any results with 0 value to show up on my chart (both on the X&Y axis), how do i amend the formula to do this? I read in a couple of places about the NA() function or about just hiding the rows, but if this chart is updated "live"on a weekly or monthly basis, I would like to chart to move with the data simultaneously...so the numbers will change, sometimes they will be 0, others they may not.
