I *think* I know the answers to this, but we'll see...
Let's say I have five salesmen:
Mr. Red
Dr. Green
Ms. Blue
Mr. White
Mr. Black
Each month they make sales.
So I have a table, where each salesman is a row and each month is a column, and the cell is populated with sales.
I'd like to do a COMBINED Horizontal Bar chart, where:
- Each row is a month
- The size of each person is actually their PERCENT of Sales, not the total amount (without me having to add rows of calculations)
- Each month automatically sorts the colored boxes in size order.
In other words, here's sample data:
Red - ( 0, 3, 0, 9)
Green - ( 8, 3, 6, 5)
Blue - ( 7, 3, 2, 8)
White - ( 4, 2, 3, 7)
Black - ( 5, 5, 5, 5)
So the top bar would have four colored boxes, in the following order: Green, Blue, Black, White The green box would be 33 percent of the total width, the blue one just a titch smaller, and so on
The next bar would have five boxes, and would be the same length as the one above, and have, in following order: Black, Red, Green, Blue, White The black box would be just smaller than a third (5/16 of the length); red, green, and blue would all be the same size, and the white box would be a titch smaller
The next bar would also have four boxes (time for Red to go!), and would be the same length as the ones above, and would have, in the following order: Green, black, white, blue The boxes would be sized appropriate to their ration in that row (ie, even though Black has sold five each month, each month it makes a different proportion)
and so on.
A doughnut chart does the percentage-of-total thing snazzily, but the sorting gets weird.
I actually havve a ton more data than in my example, so manual calcs and manually manipulating won't work here.
I've been tasked with entering a list of contacts into our database. The list is pretty long, so I want to upload it all into our dbase by reorganizing it all into a csv file. I need fields for name, title, organization, address, phone number, etc. problem is not all contacts have info for all fields. I'm having a hell of a time getting this data into a usable format.
I have a huge set of data values given per 0,5 hour. Now I want to make a chart which shows how many hours each value has taken place.
Here is what it looks like with the arranged data as y-values. Instead of the x-axis showing the number of values, I would like it to show the above mentioned.
I am stuck trying to sort data that looks like the following, into a format that I can use as source data for pivot tables/charts.

I will need to group Data multiple ways. However, I cant work out a good way to sort it. Can I have a suggestion on layout that I will be able to arrange data appropriately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm using Excel 2010 and I applied a Data Filter to a simple table. I then messed around with the drop downs in each column, sorting the data by different criteria. After doing this, is there a simple way to get the table to revert back to its original order/form?
I am trying to create a "Master Sheet" where I enter in the column data and after I have entered my data for each row, I can select the button which toggles the macro to run. I have it built to build new sheets as new clients are obtained. My problem is after I have a sheet that has client's data I cannot get new data to add itself below the data that is already there. I want each client's sheet to keep adding rows as more data comes in. My current macro is :
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 need to have cell data on sheet 1 to populate cells / rows on sheet 2 when the data is sorted on Sheet 1.
So let me explain: I have workloads on each row in Sheet 1. Column A has a list of people that I assign to each workload. After assigning a name in Column A to each row, I sort Column A by the user to print out only their workloads.
Currently, we have a paper worksheet where they manually write in their workload. I have replicated this worksheet on Sheet 2 and was wondering if I could use the data in Sheet 1 after being sorted by user, to populate the worksheet on Sheet 2 ?
I have five columns of data A to E. In each row there can be data in either 2 3,4 or 5 of the columns. What I want to do is essentially condense the data. So in columns, say, G,H,I J,K if there is data in column A then It goes into column g, if not it asks if there is any data in column b and so on. Then for H it does the same but one on. I have attached an example to show what I would like to happen.
I am encountering numerous problems compiling a macro to sort some pretty messy data. Hoping some of you could take a look and offer some suggestions....
The Data I need sorting is shown in the 'DATARAW' worksheet, this comes in every day and shows positions for each traded period. Usually 48 periods which I have highlighted although the data download could somtimes consist of 46 or 50 periods.
Sheet 1 (DATA RAW) contains data which I download daily.
Sheet 2 (Data Sort) is how I need it to look after sorted (I only need the data in DATARAW replacing, not another worksheet creating).
So for example:
Where column A = SP8 and the adjacent column B = 1 I would need:
All values which = ECN to concatenate the value in B to the reference in column B directly adjacent to the value next to it, until the folowing rows are presented:
So for instance the first value reported would be 131964, second 131979 etc... until the following text is shown in the rows below
IDD CAT ACE ACT ACE ACT
When these appear I need the entire rows to be deleted.
Then basically the same for the next period where SP8 appears in column A and 2 appears in Column B.
also, the final result should contain no formulas so it can be referenced by lookups etc... also, all numeric colums should be stored as number so excel doesn't get confused.
This will basically repeat itself until the end of the file showing the same split as aove but with ZZZ as a footer. Which I also need to delete. :-S
IDD CAT ACE ACT ACE ACT ZZZ
Rows containing the values below also need deleting.
AAA NOH DSI AED
I've used colours in the attachment but the actual file doesn't have any.
How do I sort this data, such that I just have individual numbers in a row.

I am trying to create a macro where users can rearange data in a table. I used the macro recorder to sort the data in colmn C in descending order and this is the code that I got:
This works for the table as it is but the range may change as more rows are added to the table. I want it to start at row three as the first two rows are headers but in future tables the bottom row may not be 176. I dont want to include all rows as row 177 contains totals that I dont want to be included in the sort. what I should put as the range so that this macro will work regardless of how many rows are in the table?
I attached document, in that document I made formula in Pressure cell which is INDEX MATCH MATCH to get the result.
But what I wanted is, when I type 10.4 in Temperature cell, the Pressure cell will show the result which is 1261.24 directly without I have to fill in two temperature cell to make it 10.4.
I have sorted my data by three layers. First by Budget Center, then Invoice, and then Account. I am having trouble writing a formula that will total the amounts by account with respect to its invoice and budget center.
The spreadsheet contains 8 worksheets, of which I am only concerned with 7 as the 8th merely presents a graph.
The first 6 worksheets all contain raw data exported from BMC Remedy indicating the names of users who logged incidents to have their passwords reset or their AD Accounts unlocked over a 6 month period, hence 6 worksheets (per month basis).
The 7th worksheet contains raw data from another application known as FIM (A MS based interface which allows users to reset their own passwords) indicating all users who are registered to utilize this functionality.
The goal of my exercise is to consolidate the data and sort it to such an extent where I can ascertain which users phoned the service desk to log an incident for a password reset, even though they are registered to do it themselves via FIM ... I have been going through the list manually and it took me 10 solid hours to go through 265 ... ... ... ... I have 3'900 to go through!
I have an issue with some data that I need to sort into several columns. Basically, I have a column that has data listed in each cell like this; A 567 T 1 D3. What I want to be able to do is sort that data into several columns. I am not sure how to do this at all. I have attached my data to be looked at. I have already started the process but manually, and I don't feel like having to do this manually as this is very time consuming considering I am trying to sort the data into ~1927 rows and 5 columns.
I need to data sort several rows of a worksheet, followed by a different selection of rows, followed by another selection, etc, etc. The first selection is done by highlighting the rows and then following the data sort menu. \
However, if I try to highlight a second selection and use the repeat command, excel repeats the action on the first selection, not the second. As a result, I have to use the data sort menu again. There must be a repeat option which acts on the new selection.
Every week I export a payroll report from my payroll provider (sample attached). The report is sorted by employee name. I need this report to be categorized by department and show a subtotal for each department. The payroll provider does not provide a means to put departments in the system.
I'd like to find a way to automate this as much as possible. The final report has to have a column that reflects each employee's department and the report must be sorted by dept with a subtotal for each dept. I tried to do this using a second worksheet that lists each employee and the dept they work in and linking it to the payroll summary using =IF; that obviously did not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be accomplished? The process would need to be repeated for many clients each week, so I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.
I need help with either a formula or macro for sorting data into specific columns. I need the entries under the headings Ar,Bj... to be sorted into the correct columns. To add to the problem, the data may not be exactly the same as the heading.
Attached is an simple example of a spreadsheet where the top is the original and the bottom is what I need the final outcome to be. The data is pasted from a different spreadsheet and will be changing each time.
