When ever I add a secondary axis to my chart my bar chart sub type changes to a stacked bar chart. How do I keep the sub type bar chart? I have attached an example. I have tried playing with the gap and width of the bars but to no avail.
View 3 RepliesI have a stacked column chart that I need to show an average on, that is on a second axis and shown as a line rather than a column.
I have tried moving it to a secondary axis but then it keeps changing the graph to show only the average.
this is just one of about 25 graphs I am having to do like this.

How do I select all of the series on my chart and flip them over to the secondary axis? I can't seem to find an answer via google... Either VBA or straight Excel would be fine.
For the record, this is part of a larger question. I've been creating a chart using a couple for loops to work through a 2D array (VBA, clearly). At first I would just set each series to the second axis as it was created, but I've found that if I use collapseable groups to turn off different values...well, if I collapse the first series it all dissapears (still shows up in the legend, but the lines are gone.)
If I leave them on the primary axis I have no prolblem. So now I'm working on the theory that it's the way they are being added. So I'm looking for another way to put them on the other axis.
how do you put all series in a graph on the secondary axis all at once. Either an Excel based or VBA answer is fine (I can turn the Excel into a Macro if push comes to shove.)
where i can fix the secondary value axis to start at 0 instead of starting from minimum value like usual?
like the min value of my value axis is -12, the secondary axis will follow suit, i. e 0% will start at -12. i want it to start at 0 instead.
In VBA, how to add a secondary x-axis in the lower portion of the chart if I already have the primary axis in the upper part?
This code
ActiveChart.HasAxis(xlCategory, xlSecondary) = True
just adds it to the upper if I have the primary at lower.
I have a chart with sales data on one axis and inventory on a secondary axis. I have the average of each columns of data and want to add a reference line to each axis with it's average. I have added the averages to my data set, but it only adds the reference line to my primary axis. I actually began by manually inserting two lines to the chart (which seems asinine). They actually didn't print because they weren't actually on the chart, but rather just on the spreadsheet behind.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAll I want to do is color the numbers on both the primary and secondary axis. Primary i want the shade of blue below. Secondary I want the shade of green below. Only the primary axis part of the code does its job. The secondary axis remains black. The code does complete without errors. Excel 2010.
sub color_axis()
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).TickLabels.Font.Color = RGB(38, 40, 118)
ActiveChart.Axes(xlSecondary).TickLabels.Font.Color = RGB(0, 153, 0)
end sub
Using the table, draw a stacked chart that has both the project name (A, B etc) and Month on the x-axis (below all the projects). the stacked chart should contain the count for cat1, cat2, cat3 and cat 4 for each project (in different but consistent numbers for each month).
I need this for a presentation today,

But I want units to appear on the secondary axis so its not so small.
I am wanting the colors of the bars in a stacked chart to change based on the date in the X Axis. As the current date arrives, the stacked bar needs to change to various blue shades. If the date is in the future, the stacked bar needs to be various grey shades.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a chart with stacked columns. Usually, the data on the Y-axis is some kind of numerical data, such as budget. I would like to have the Y-axis have non-numerical data (= nominal categories).
Example :
Take the following data :
category | productname
red berry
red carrot
green cabbage
green apple
The ouput format i want is a chart which shows on the horizontal axis the categories red and green, and stacks in each category the right productnames on top of eachother; preferably each productname should have a different colour and showing data labels (e.g. "1", "green","apple" could be 1 specific data label).
I don't know how to achieve this, because if you display data as "count of productnames", then automatically you get something like a block with value 2, which doesn't show the different productnames inside that block.
Can the desired chart be made with Excel somehow?
I am working with the Ganntt chart and horizontal bar charts but can't seem to figure out a way to force the X-Axis to behave properly.
In Excel 2007, I am trying to get the X-Axis to show major units of Months. However, in my chart options I can only change the Y-Axis to be Date/Monthly.
Changing my data layout (from the below) to be a vertical format produces the same problem, just in the other direction.
My data looks as follows:
System
Blocker
Production
Migrataion
Retired
Sys1
1/1/2012
780
Sys2
1/1/2012
400
60
90
Sys3
2/1/2013
30
5
1
The Blocker column is formatted as "No Fill" in order to cover a portion of the time-scale.
My X-Axis displays as random dates throughout the period and all of my data displays properly in terms of the scale on the grid.
What is NOT working is that the dates shown on the X-Axis really need to be based on a Monthly scale instead of the randomly selected dates Excel is using.

I can't seem to find the right combination of options to make that happen or force a scale on the X-Axis.
Is there a way to Right justify a secondary Y axis?
The primary Y axis is right justified, but the secondary is left justified.
I am trying to add a secondary axis for a graph but it is not displaying as it normally does, instead of the columns remaining side by side they overlap. I don't normally have any issue with this so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've attached images to show what i mean.
Before I add secondary axis
After adding secondary axis
I have been trying to break my new chart that combines stacked bars on the primary axis with their labels on a transparent line graph tied to the secondary axis. The secondary axis allows me to show the labels I want as categories and position them relative to the visible part of the stacked bar (waterfall style) proportionately outside of the bar. The trouble comes when my label positioning is less than or more than the primary boundaries. I can solve this manually by changing the max or min value of the secondary axis, but what I really want is for the secondary axis to be locked to the primary axis' max and min automatically.

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to overlay a line chart on top of a stacked column chart. The stacked column chart is a chart where the x axis is dates and the y axis is amount. The line chart is a projected amount that I will reach in few years; the x axis is the date while the y axis is an amount. I can get a chart that has a line and stacked columns, but ever time, the dates get messed up. The line has an extremely wide date range while the columns only have about a month of data.

View 6 Replies View Relatedhow 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.
What is the best way to have both horizontal and vertical axis as value axis?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a two bar chart (red and blue) I'm trying to turn into a stacked chart. It has total cars and broken cars. There are a 100 total cars (10 broken). But when I stack them, it shows 110 total cars (it's adding instead of merging them). Once stacked, there should still be 100 total cars....but the tip of it should be red to show what amount is broken. It's adding the two together but it shouldn't....the number of broken cars is still part of the total.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to define a chart of TWO Stacked Bars. (it will be a little difficult for me, with my bad English, to explain – but I'm sure you will understand. My target is a chart as shown in the embedded picture. Take a look at sheet1:
This is a 75% completed chart. I managed to present the first 2 stacked bars. (light & dark green). Then I added a blank column ("D") and declared it as a "bar" on the 2nd. Y Axis. (This "D" series has now two values, of 5, which must be "Zeroed" when the chart is finished).
I managed to add the first part of the 2nd. Stacked bars. (Orange) I played a little with the Width and Overlap – and got the result shown in Sheet1. (When The "two fives" will change into 0 - the two orange bars will start from the X-Axis (Zero "Y" level)/ So far so good.
What I need now is to add the last Series (F2:F9) to be put ON TOP of the Orange Bar – but without success. If you'll take a look at Sheet2 you will see what I came up with. I DO NOT want them to be inside each other. I want them as in the embedded picture (side by side). In addition – I would love to present the Labels: Newspaper, Internet, Relevant, Non-Relv. Inside the chart (if possible)

View 7 Replies View Relatedi have a chart made but it will only read numbers what i looking for it to do is read cells filled. beacuse none of the cells will have numbers in them. example column I,J,K,L will have a letters in them. starting on row 2 on down till the end. what i'm looking for is if I2 has a letter in it it will read as one for the chart. and will ignore the other columns if K7 has a letter it will read as one and ignore the rest of the columns. this will go on till the end of the sheet. and all rows with nothing in them will be ignored. is this posable?
i think it is bacisly giving a value to a letter and having the chart inturpat that value as 1 and then adding them up. if posable i just thought of maybe the letter could be turned into a date to give an ongoing graph for the info. maybe thats the wisest thing to do to show what each day looks like. hmm i have to play around with it. just typing this out i think i figured a way to do it.
I have a spreadsheet where I have some data. The data is divided into two parts we have part A that is a figure and then I have a A total which is a figure which part A cannot exceed and then what I would like to do is to create a Stacked Column Chart where I have an A total column where the maximum amount is the total A and where I would like to show how much A has utilized the A total.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
