Selecting Data For Chart

Jul 22, 2009

I'm working on a macro that creates columnplots from a sheet of data.

The sheet is organised as a series of tables. Through a userform, the user selects the columns and rows that she wishes to include in the plot.

Is it possible to control the order in which the data is plotted?
For instance, the macro produces the following range to be plotted:

"$D$29, $B$29, $C$29,D33:D31,B33:B31,C33:C31"

where row 29 contains the table headlines, and rows 31:33 contains the data.
However, when I plot this, it always ends up as column B, then C, then D, rather than D first like I wanted.

I'm fairly new to both Excel and Visual Basic, so it's difficult to explain exactly what I'm after, but hopefully someone will understand what I'm after here..

I have made a macro which generates a bar chart for many sets of data.

I'm having a problem at the moment however, as I need to generate a line graph on the same chart. How does one generate another x-axis and graph on a chart? Let me know if you want to see my current macro.

Selecting All Data In Specific Columns Without Selecting Adjacent Column

Mar 10, 2014

Using VBA, I need to Select A1:C14.

The problem is that A1:C14 contains blank cells, and there is also an adjacent column D that I do not want to copy.

So, UsedRegion and CurrentRegion aren't doing it for me. (It selects Column D too.)

Obviously, this is an example...the real data set is an export and varies in size.

Selecting Items To Create A Chart

Feb 16, 2012

I'm making a risk chart which i want to select data automaticly.

It currently is possible to select a characteristic. After selecting the characteristic i want the chart to update, having only the risks with that characteristic in it. But it also has to select on impact level and chance%.

Is there any way to let Excel auto select the Risk discription and copy it into the chart?

below are 2 pictures, 1 an example database of risks and an example of how the chart should, more or less, look like when i select the financial characteristic.

Excel 2003 :: Daily Stock Chart AND Random Scatter Chart Data

Jan 14, 2014

I need to plot various data on top of stock charts.

This data could be irregular in date: it could be weekly, or simply random.

To plot this data by itself requires a Scatter Chart.

From what I know so far, you CANNOT DO THIS.

However, I suspect this could be done if I build a Stock Chart from scratch using a Scatter Chart.

Error bars can be used to make the tails, however, I don't know how they built the body bar which has the characteristics of a bar (border, and interior.)

But since I don't really need those two characteristics, I just need a wider error bar line that is provided in the chart edit window. I'm guess through a macro, there are wider line widths assignable.

Excel 2010 :: Add Pie Chart Into Data Point Marker On Line Chart

Nov 27, 2011

I am looking for a creative way to display a pie chart within a data point marker of a line chart.

My database has 3 value columns, Type1, Type2 and the Total (Type1 + Type2)
these are recorded per day (Date, in Column A)

I have a line chart that displays the total by date, but I want to find a way to display the percentage split of a particular day by type.

I was thinking to load the chart image into the Data point marker, but i don't think that is the best way as the data is updated daily and I would have to do it each day for a few line charts.

The other way I was thinking about was to have a generic Pie chat in the Line chart (Maybe in a corner) and the pie would update depending on way date series was selected or Mouseover'd)

the way that I am approaching it at the movement (Not the best way and by far not the coolest way. Is to have a list of all the dates in a column next to the Line chart and using some VBA, what ever date is selected in the column the pie chart displays the corresponding data. But eh challenge is that when there is alot of dates, I am going to be scrolling up and down.

I am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.

Excel 2003 :: Filter Data In Graph / Chart (without Having To Create New Chart)

Dec 29, 2011

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.

Odd Chart: Combine Data From Multiple Worksheets And Make A Chart

Mar 26, 2009

I am trying to combine data from multiple worksheets and make a chart. I have about 200 keywords in every worksheet (about 50), and some of them repeat themselves through worksheets and some don't. For every keyword, I have an associated value in the next column that I want to portray over time (each worksheet is for a different period).

So what I need to figure out is how to be able to pick any 10 keywords from the worksheets and put them in a line chart where I can see the associated value for each period for every worksheet so I can compare my keywords' efficiency. The tricky part is that some worksheets do not contain the keyword and other worksheets contain the keyword in a different cell than the previous wsheet.

Chart Making- Chart With 3 Data Series

Jun 30, 2008

I have a chart with 3 data series. The series are located in columns A, B and C respectively. Series I is a general number anywhere from 0 to 100,000. Series 2 is also a number, but is is devided by series 1. So, if series 1 was 100,000 then series two would be 25,000/100,000 which is 0.25. Series three will always be numerator of series 2 or 25,000 in this example. The numerator, or the 25,000 will never change, so, in my example, series three will be a straight line across the chart because it is always 25,000.

In my example, the .25 is plotted on the left value axes, and series one is plotted on the right value acccess (secondary axis). Series three is just a line in the middle.

My problem is that sometimes the line, series 3, doesn't match the values in both the right and left values axes. So, if series one is 48,000, then series two would be 48,000/48,000 = 1, and series three would be 48000 - the straight line. The third series should be a line touching the 48,000 on the right and the number 1 on the left. It does touch the 48000 on the left, but is below the number 1 on the left.

Selecting Data And Using It For Further Calculation?

Jul 11, 2014

I have got historical intraday-data of a stock index and first of all need to summarize them by seconds: The data looks like that:

time price
08.00.00 159
08.00.00 153
08.00.00 148
08.00.01 157
08.00.01 152
08.00.02 167
08.00.02 151
08.00.03 155
08.00.03 154
08.00.03 154

So I want to calculate the average price per second. Is there any formula to tell Excel that it should sort it by second and further calculate the average price of it.

Selecting Data By Values

Mar 19, 2014

I have a worksheet with about 10,000 rows of data and from this raw data I need to create 60 or so separate spreadsheets for 60 different companies- so around 160 some row actually pertain to a given client. However, it's not fixed and from one month to the next the actual number of rows changes so I can't just use a simple range. There are two possible ways to mark that the data pertains to a new client. But it will be easier to just show a quick example:

1/1/2014
CompanyA

Total
CompanyA

1/1/2014
CompanyB

So anytime it runs into "Total" in column 1 it should know to start another iteration or when the cell in column b does not equal the cell directly above it. Below is a truncated version of what I have so far:

Sub MonthlyStatements()
'
' MonthlyStatements Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+w
'
Dim taxi As String
Range("F32").Select
Workbooks.Add

[Code] ......

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.

Selecting Data Over A Date Range

Sep 12, 2009

I have 2 worksheets where I need to transfer a certain amount of data from one to another depending on dates.

Sheet ‘A’, is the main data source. Col A holds all 365 dates from 1 Jan to 31 Dec(starting at A2), and the subsequent data for each day is held in cols B to P.
Sheet ‘B’ is the destination where the user will specify a key date in cell A3, then in A4 to A32, formulae populate the next 29 dates (ie so there is a continuous run of 30 days).

What I need to do, is to identify the same 30 day range from sheet B on sheet A, then to copy the data in Cols B to P for that range back onto sheet B (pasting in at D3)

Vlookup Not Selecting Source Data

Feb 12, 2010

I am having trouble with a number of workbooks when using vlookup (using the wizard rather than entering the formula directly)

First I select the cell with lookup value, then try to select the table array on the source sheet but the cursor changes to the hand symbol and I can't click on any cells. I have had this problem with many different workbooks. The only solution I have found is to copy the whole sheet, paste-special-values into a new sheet and use that as source.

VBA - Selecting The Last Cell In A Column With Data

Oct 6, 2008

I am trying to write some VBA code to select a range in a column going down to the last item in the column.

So I want to write a macro that will copy cells B4 - B17 into cells A4 - A17 but am having trouble with the code that will select B4 - B17. When I use the usual code which is as follows:

ActiveSheet.Range("b4", ActiveSheet.Range("b1").End(xlDown)).Select
it selects down to A75, and I know why this is but not how to fix it.

This is raw data extracted from a third-party system. It has an option to export to Excel, but where it appears to have blank cells Excel actually believes there is data in there.

So is a way to identify what data Excel thinks is in there and perhaps use this to be able to select the range I want?

Different extractions will need a different range moved over - however it will always start at B4 and go down to B-whatever.

As I want to write this macro only once but different tabs have different tabs they look to, VBA code that slects the sheet named in a fixed cell on the active sheet.

This is the code that currently looks up to the tab labelled 'Cork, FA'. However, if this tab name is stored in cell AA2, I would like the code to choose the tab based on the information in AA2?

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select

Selecting Range When Autofilter Returns Only One Row Of Data

May 15, 2013

I am using the following code to re-name filtered data in column 4 of my worksheet, but I am running into an issue when the Autofilter returns only one row of data. The End(xlDown) is selecting a range that extends to the last row of the worksheet (1,048,576).

Code:
rfiltered.Cells(1, 3).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Receivables"
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

How can I write the code so that in the event there is only one row of data, it selects just that row for the paste (and yes it would be redundant to paste over the same value) and then continues on? I would usually use a Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Row to find the last row of data, but I don't think that will work in Autofilter mode.
