Sorting And Normalizing Chart Data?

May 7, 2014

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.

Normalizing Data For Import

Apr 13, 2009

I need to import a massive spreadsheet into QuickBase. It will have close to twentyG records when(if) I can do this thing.

The table i'm importing into (Groups) is a details table which carries the 'Many' attribute in a M:N relationship.

There is a column in the spreadsheet (Groups) that is distributed over several columns:

UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID, SPE-PRE, SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY, HII-PRE, SPR-DDR

In order to import into QuickBase, I need these data to be normalized:

UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID
12345---------------SPE-PRE
12345---------------SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY
56789---------------HII-PRE
56789---------------SPR-DDR

Can Excel create a normalized arrangement like what I have above without my having to manually work this? It would take days if I had to.

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.

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.

Auto Populate Data After Sorting The Data

Sep 26, 2009

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 ?

Sorting Data In VBA

Mar 14, 2009

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.

Sorting Data In A Table Using VBA

Aug 14, 2012

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:

VB:

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("By Client").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("By Client").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"C3:C176"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("By Client").Sort

[Code]...

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?

Data Consolidation And Sorting

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!

Categorizing And Sorting Data

Jul 3, 2009

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.
