Split from How To Set Up A Spreadsheet The Right Way
Taking onboard what you suggested I have "rethought" the layout and it is now in a single table format. What had stopped me doing this previously was the fact that I was not able to show 7 days a week for 48 weeks in columns. However thanks to the transpose function all the data is now more user friendly (See Attached Workbook)
You mention the data should be quite easy to manipulate from here, any ideas as I am struggling with the concept of how to display the data in a time series. I assume that it will involve some form of lookup function referenced to the table of times, but thats as far as i can get.
I got the first 3 blocks working but got stuck with the 4th one.
It should count only those hours between saturday morning 0000 and sunday night 2400 if it concerns a weekend day. and actually these hours should not be calculated in the first 3 time blocks.
a person works for certain hours and get paid according to the hours worked either by day or by night or a mix of both. Day payment is $8 when worked between 08:00 and 19:59 , night payment is $12 when worked between 20:00 and 07:59. The excel cell are formatted as datetime with yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm , the function works fine in getting the time information and checking whether the whole work is all day or all night , yet the if-then-else statements for calculation seems to be wrong!!
examples:
start = 2008-01-01 09:15 , end = 2008-01-01 11:40 , all day as it is between 08:00 and 20:00 and cost = 8/hr = 19.333
start = 2008-01-03 21:05 , end = 2008-01-04 02:05 , all night as it is between 20:00 and 08:00 and cost = 12/hr = 60.000
start = 2008-02-02 19:00 , end = 2008-02-02 20:05 , cost = 9.000 as 1 hour day = 8.000 plus 5minutes night = 1.000
Function prod(st As Date, en As Date) As Double Dim shour As Integer Dim smin As Integer Dim ehour As Integer Dim emin As Integer Dim stod As String Dim etod As String pday = 8 pnight = 12 shour = Hour(st) smin = Minute(st) + shour * 60 If (shour >= 8 & shour < 20) Then stod = "day" Else stod = "night" End If ehour = Hour(en) emin = Minute(en) + ehour * 60 If (ehour >= 8 & ehour < 20) Then.................
I have an xy chart for which I would like to format the lines to be different patterns beyond those available in the format series dialog. I recognise that this will mean using VBA and I am happy to do that. I would like to be able to use patterns in the same way as they are used in a column chart.
I recorded a macro to see which properties were changed when the patterns are selected in the dialog for the xy chart and it is clear that it is only the LineStyle of the border and that there is no interior.
With Selection.Border .ColorIndex = 57 .Weight = xlMedium .LineStyle = xlGray25 End With
This would explain why when I use debug.print ser.Interior.Pattern I get -4105 or if I change ser.Fill.Forecolor etc it has no effect.
Is there any way to use user defined patterns to colour the lines in the same way as in a histogram/coloumn chart?
I would like to find out a way to work out the number of minutes worked during particular shifts for weekdays. Basically I have two columns, one for start time, and one for end time. They are formatted like dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. So they have the date in there as well.
I would like a formula that would look at a range say A1-A11 and work out what shift it is and then output number of hours worked per shift. Day shift would start at 8am and finish 5pm, Twilight shift would start at 5pm and finish at 9:30pm, night shift would start at 9:30pm and finish at 8am the next day. So I would need it to check for example the start and end times (and dates) and then output 3 rows that show the total minutes worked.
There will be multiple days so it would need to say for example Monday Day, Twi, Night, Tuesday Day, Twi, Nights etc. Up to Friday Day shift because we don't work Friday Twilight or Nights, and we don't work Weekends.
Basically there is a list of jobs completed with Start Time and End Time for each and I also have a column that works out the number of minutes worked on that job. So the formula would need to look at many rows.
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 add Data Labels and select the percentages. This shows at Cat 1 having 12.5% of the sales (100 of 800 sales), Cat 2 having 12.25%, and so on..... However, what you don't see is the following data:
So based on 1,088 sales, Cat 1 at 100 is actually only 9.19% of TOTAL sales.
I understand what is happening, the chart is giving the percentage based on the data inputted into the chart.
I did consider adding an 11th category to the chart, which was the total of Catalogues 11-15. Whilst this does give a more accurate percentage figure (as now all sales have been inputted), it makes the chart look ****
Is there a way of either adding the 11th category, and then "hiding" it, so that the chart doesn't display it, but uses it's value to calculate Catalogues 1-10s percentage?
BTW: The reason I ask is that I could be dealing with anywhere from 30 to over 100 catalogues. So it's not ideal showing the others in 1 chart.
I have the basics set up, but need to work out how to make it calculate my pay per shift dependant on the type of shift i have worked.
I have attached a screen shot of the current page,
In it i have currently used validation drop boxes for the location and worked columns with tables just to one side of the sheet.
The shift pay is the column i am having trouble with.
I would like it to change dependant on what is selected in the 'worked' column. For most things it should just display basic plus holiday, however if supervisor is selcted in the work column, it should display basic plus holiday plus supervisor.
I'm writing an application for myself, running on Windows Vista & Office 2003, I have no intention, as things stand, of this being used on any other PCs or by anybody using an older version of Windows or Office. I am a Mainframe programmer so my logical way of thinking is not always in line with the best way of using VBA, but I try my best & seem to be getting by, but I have a problem & question as follows:
I "SHOW" a UserForm with an option to Add or Delete. I choose Delete & a new UserForm is opened, populated with data from an Access database, I choose my option from a DropDown box, click OK & I then want the data to be deleted and to return to the first UserForm. I "UNLOAD" the latter UserForm and then try to "SHOW" the original one, but get an error message saying "Form already displayed; can't show modally" ... the first port of call:
You can't use the Show method to display a visible form as modal. This error has the following cause and solution: You tried to use Show, with the style argument set to 1 – vbModal, on an already visible form.........
I am trying to determine the best way to graphically show the results of a time/work study. Basically i have a list of tasks and each list has 2 sets of numbers assigned to it. One for how much time it takes on a scale of 1-3 and a second for how much value is added for the task, again on a scale of 1-3. I want to show some sort of graph/visual that shows the number of tasks as clusters (not name of task) in maybe quadrants. With the time on X axis and value on Y axis. I am envisioning something like a 9 box that would have low/low to high/high. I can only think to create a 9 box in excel and physically put circles(clusters) in each quadrant.
I've tried for some time now to create a chart where the x-axis make up for irregular dates. Making the line between 2 points longer if it's long time between them and short if it's short time between them.
I've finally understood line charts doesn't support that and I have to use scatter graph. It seems to work but the dates, the get all messed up. I type 2014-11-11 but the x-axis in the graph shows 2283-12-12 or something like that.
Got a notion that I might have to transform it to the date value manually first but I get #VALUE ERROR
i.e. 2014-11-11 in A1, then I type in A2 =DATEVALUE(A1).
How do I get a chart to work with irregular dates correctly?
I have some code for changing the scale of my chart axes so that when new data is inserted into the column which the chart sources from (say column B), the axis scales on my chart will automatically adjust (as the Excel algorithm sometimes leads to charts which are a bit squashed). This code works fine, and I have included it below.
I have then tried to introduce an ActiveX listbox so that when you select an item in the box, the reference number generated (1,2,3...etc) then determines which data series is inserted into column B using a vlookup function. However, when I do this, the original VBA code for automatically adjusting the chart axes no longer works.
Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart
I am trying to add the date my charts were created. I have the date the charts were created in a cell then I added a text box to each chart referencing the cell with the date. On some of the charts the date is showing. But on other charts on same sheet, the date only shows when selecting the chart area of the chart but disappears when selecting other charts or cells on the same sheet.
I'm creating an Excel chart, and I have some data that goes from 0-100. I want to show all of the data, but I'd like to have a different format when it goes above 90.
I have a spreadsheet where users can enter a time using the 24 hour clock - these times are random and can be anything within the 24 hour period.
I want to create a chart or graph that has a timeline of 24 hours, (in multiples of 1 hour starting at 07:00 and going right through to 06:00), and I need the times entered by the users to appear on the chart to give an overview of when these incidents are happening most.
I was thinking that the cluster or scatter chart might work but I can't figure it out. I don't actually need both X and Y Axis, just a timeline - is it possible?
I have a chart with event timestamps (2008-06-09 14:48:15.973) and two event types (A and B) with about 12000 events in total. I want to show a chart (probably line chart) that plots the frequency of events on a time axis (e.g. very many event A last night, not so many today, etc). I figure two time series with A and B independently so user can compare visually. But I dont know how to efficiently convert the events into a counter/frequency of events variable/column.
Ive looked into DSUM, DCOUNT & FREQUENCY functions to make a new column that shows how many events have happened in the previous 10 minutes without success. DCOUNT/DSUM problem: some of the criteria fields are computed by formula (date column minus ten minutes).
I have a chart that feeds from dynamic ranges which contain whole rows of null enteries displayed as #N/A. The charts do not plot these enteries (as it shouldn't) however it does display the category label even if it too is #N/A. Is it possible to remove the category label if all data for that row is null. ie the label is also removed from the chart.
I have a chart with multiple series which I am hoping to show/hide based upon a particular value attached to each series. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to extend the Series object class so that I could have something along the lines of a "Series.specialvalue" property which I could assign and then check to decide whether to show or hide the series?
I have 10 graphs with more than 20 legend entries. However, each graph only needs 3-4 elements out of the 20 legend entries in the graph. Is there any way to force Excel to only show those legend entries that have a value? (without deleting them manually)
Attached is a simple chart and I would like Users to be able to tick a checkbox to show/don't show 'available' series. In the example If the User clicks for Group 1, then only Customer A's data is shown. If Only Checked Group B, then Customer B and C are displayed. If both boxes are checked, then all three Customer's figures will show. (Hopefully depending on what's ticked, the chart's scale would adjust accordingly)
I created 5 charts and instead of having them spread everywhere in the worksheet, I would like them to be "reduced" to some kind of a link contained in a cell (at the botom of the data of each chart). Then, I would like the chart to appear only if I put the mouse on this cell.
I have the following code for identifying the 1,3,2 patterns from sheet1 and it copy pastes those rows into sheet2. I was wondering if there is a way to modify this code to delete those patterns once it has identified them instead of pasting them into sheet2. In other word,s sheet2 needs to contain every other data except those identified patterns.
VB:
Sub test() Dim myPtn As String, txt As String, m As Object, n As Long, LastR As Range Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, myStep As Long, i As Long, t As Long myStep = 10000 '<- change here if needed. Set ws1 = Sheets("sheet1") Set ws2 = Sheets("sheet2")
A person on this board did this for me with this so far and I need to be able to view more than 16 rows. I would like to view all the rows it finds. I have 62,000 rows on information this far and will exceed 500,000 so you can see my need to see all involved to save hours of sifting through data. I would also like a place up top near the box (column G.H)(3,4,5) another box for me to enter a new number combination to search. Presently I have to go through the data to find the first one which is also time consuming. I would like to be able to put say for example in the area I am mentioning:
Hope the title isn't too broad. Every time I think I have got to grips with RegExp I get stuck on something apparently quite simple. So, I have a few queries so I hope OK to bundle them together.
1. How do I remove the word 'of' only if it occurs after certain other words (the other words should also go). E.g.
"Vale of White Horse" should stay the same "Borough of Lambeth" should become "Lambeth" (because 'of' after 'Borough')
I tried "Borough(sof*)" but that doesn't remove either word.
2. How do I remove everything after a '/' (inclusive)? I have tried "/sw+" which removes the first word after '/' but there could be other words
3. How do I remove everything inside brackets (inclusive)?
