How do I name my data series in a chart so that the name consist of both a cellreference and my own text?
Example: "Name" & Sheet1!A1. If the value in A1 is 2 then the series name shold be Name2
I think that this is probably rather simple, but the answer is eluding me, I cannot find anything that helps online either. I have a set of data that looks similar to the sample below, however it is quite a bit longer. I would like the 'Effect' as the X axis, with the 'Score' as Y. This basically shows three columns, which is fine. However I would also like to use the 'ID' as the label against each plot point and I'd like each plot point to look the same.
The problem I am having is that to get the labels to show, I am having to add each series manually, which is rather time-consuming. Is there a correct (faster) way of doing this as I think I'm missing something obvious!
IDScoreEffect
12.11
21.92
31.33
41.81
51.53
61.72
72.33
81.42
92.21
102.13
112.12.................
I have a simple line chart but I want to add an text description to each of the points. The data is driven by a pivot table so the text needed may change based on the drop down options.
If I was using the below data I would want the line graph drawn using the date and value, but the data label at each point to state the description.
Date Value Description
01/01/2010 90% Text A
01/02/2010 80% Text B
Is there a way to add comment text at a 45 degree angle to an excel chat?
What I need to do is to add a comment parallel to a 45 degree line on an excel chart, and the text box dosen't give you the option t have 45 degree text.
I run a large simulation experiment. I have a loop plotting data in excel of a user defined area. Because of the limit of 255 series I have allowed a maximum of 250 simulations (they all need to be plotted). But the length of each simulation is free. I know there is a limit of 32.000 data points in a graph and I have this as a condition too.
If I set the data range to 100 columns and 3000 rows the graph is produced when I plot by columns. (code below)
But if I set the data range to 250 columns and 1000 rows I get the above mentioned error message. Even though I only have 250 series.
After the data is plotted it is the code below that gets the error:

I have the following code:
Sub Macro5()
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 243").Activate

End Sub
However, if there is no SereisCollection(1) actually present in the chart I get an error. How can I work around this? I will need an IF statement I assume, just not sure what it will look like.
I just recently installed Excel 2007 and I would like to know if it's possible to change all data points of a chart at the same time. In Excel 2003, I would normally hold down shift while clicking on each of the data points to make a global change. However, it appears I cannot do that in 2007.
I would like to display each data point's series name. When I go to Layout on the Excel Ribbon, and click on "Data Labels", and click on "More Data Label Options", the actual Y-axis values are shown for each data point. However, I do not want this - I actually only want the Series Name, but when I uncheck "Value" and check "Series Name" instead (under "Label Contains"), it only changes it for one of the series. Is there a better way, instead of going through each and every single series to make this change?
The following code is supposed to produce six series on an xlXYScatter chart. It produces seven with the seventh series being a repeat of the sixth but named series 7.

I have a list of data on one sheet and a 'reports' page on another sheet. The reports page has several pivot tables and a pivot chart. I want the pivot chart to format the bars on the chart relevant to the series name. The series names are "R" "A" amd "G" for Red Amber and Green respectively, I want the chart to change the colour of the series so that it is the correct colour ie. "R" would be coloured Red, "A" would be Amber and "G" would be green.

I'm working for a local authority who have been given a mass of survey data. In this particular task, residents of each small district within our area have been asked their levels of satisfaction with a service, and how important they think that service is. I want to plot these two values against each other using a scatterplot, and label each service.
Excel does not automatically allow this so I used a very good sheet from the forums here: Attach labels with names to the points in a scatter plot. It's the top file, and works well. However, I can't seem to customise it for my own data.
Problems include:
- Excel often freezing when I try to run it
- Not all the data being picked up for the chart
- Incorrect labels being picked up..........
I have one series on my chart set as column type with data value labels. I have another series as line type to create a benchmark line across the chart. The chart is interactive where user can select 1 of 20 units.
On some of the units, the labels are overlapping the line type chart and causing a poor display
I would like to display the latest data label value for a data series So if I update my table for period 2 the chart should update to display only this value. Then period 3 and so on Workbook attached

"10.Apply series name and legend key in data labels to the Star data series. "
I have included what I think is the correct answer, but I am not sure. It is under the column chart sheet.
I would like to have two series of data using the same X axis (date, formatted in months). The Y axis is in intervals of 100,000.
The first data series is historical (actual) data (i.e. Jan 2009 to August 2011). The second data series is forecast (Sept 2011 - August 2012). So i want the forecast series to start immediately after the historical series. It is a 'line with markers' chart. The key objective is that the forecast data looks visually distinct from the historial series.
Excel version: Excel 2010
OS: Windows 7
I'm using the following code to set the colours of the slices of all the pie charts in my spreadsheet based on each slice's legend's label: ....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an XY scatter plot with multiple series. Normally, one has to manually type in or mouse-drag a range for each x series and y series. Instead I would like to build these two ranges (x and y) with text functions and place them in a cell.
For example:
A1: 'data'!$C$3:$C$10
B1: 'data'!$D$3:$D$10
Then, when I create a chart, instead of mouse-dragging, for the x-series, I'll indicate the range that's specified within Cell A1, and for the y series, that which is in B1. I would then repeat this for each series. The reason I want to do this is because I have dozens of series and dozens of graphs and it is relatively easy to programatically identify the range boundaries, but long and tedious to mouse drag them.
I have an excel application that I'm developing that is going to be used by two different departments. On one side everything will pretty much be userforms. The sheets they the data I need to pull in for them is on sheets that I have such that their visibilty is equal too xlveryhidden. I'm trying to change the captions on labels using the data on the veryhidden sheets. Something like this.
'frmCurrentProposal is a userform
'lbGroupName and lbGroupNum are both labels that should vary
frmCurrentProposal.Show
frmCurrentProposal.lbGroupName.Caption = Sheet2. Range("B2").Value
frmCurrentProposal.lbGroupNum.Caption = "Group # " & Sheet2.Range("B3").Value
The labels are not changing their values.
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 want to use a macro to change attributes of a series in a chart. Unbelievably, if the series has been pasted into the chart from another chart, and although the macro can address the series and even return values (eg name) correctly, the selection simply cycles to one of the original series on the chart.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've used Rob Bovey's Chart Labeller a lot recently, but this morning when trying to add some labels, I get the error message

I have a number of charts (mostly pie) I don't have a legend, but I do have "Show label and percent" selected.
When I add in new data the actual chart updates to show the right sized pie slices... but the values on the labels don't update as well. I can't figure out how to make that happen?
I have a workbook, which I use for different departments that displays a number of different pie charts and I have found that a particular pie chart omits a specific label repeatedly. The pie chart displays the wedge within the chart itself, but does not display the label. At the moment I have data labels with percentages. All other labels display, of which there are 7. I found a solution that fixes the problem each time it arises and that is to select Chart Tools/Format/Series 1 data labels and then Format Selection. When I then select any data label, I click on "Clone Current Label" and the missing label appears with the correct percentage amount. I use the workbook for multiple uses and rather than have it present as a template (*.xltm), it is a macro-enabled spreadsheet (*.xlsm). Could this be related to the problem?

When you hold your mouse over a bubble on a bubble chart, it typically displays the x value, y value and size value. Is there any way to add other captions to display? For example, if my chart is based on sales data and I'm plotting a point based on ease of probability (x axis) and dollar value (y value)....I'd also like to see the initials of the salesperson assigned to that prospect when I hover over the bubble?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 6 pivot charts within a document. I use a macro associated with a button to refresh the tables and therefore the data displayed on the charts.
However, each time I refresh the data, the 'data label' font size also refreshes. What is particularly odd is that 5 of the charts are pie-graphs, of those 5 graphs, the font size only resets on 4 of them (with the data labels in a single chart staying at my desired font size).
I can manually put the font size back to that which I desire but I'd rather it just didn't change in the first place.
I've had a look to see if there's any noticeable differences between the 5 charts but there's nothing which I can find.
I'd be happy to run a bit of VBA to set the font size as I want it, if there isn't a better solution.
I would like to make the SUMIF function conditional on recognising 1 word among a series of text within a cell.
For example, SUM all cells containing word PINK, even if there are other words in the cell also.
I cannot get the SUMIF function to pick words out of a cell, it will only SUM up if the whole text matches what is in the cell.
I'm attempting to create a dynamically built donut chart using VBA, but I'm having trouble inserting a variable to be used as one of the values.
The chart graphs 3 data points:
ASC GP - Located in cell T4
ACC GP - Located in cell AE4
ACT GP - variable called LocSumActGP
The code snippet I assumed would work looked like this:
Code:
.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Location Summary'!$T$4,'Location Summary'!$AE$4," & LocSumActGP
But it doesn't seem to like that.

.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale = Nteeth

The chart should update if the data is filtered; so if a user doesn't want to see the 'orange' row they can filter the data accordingly. There is a finite number of rows and columns in the range but sometimes there will be less data. I have tried to convert the data to a table and that works quite well except the legend keys persist: so if there is no data for pillows and stickers the legends still appear and have to be removed manually. Also, there seems to be a bug in Excel 2007 whereby the removal of a chart linked to table data causes a persistent error message to appear.
I know that I need to created a named range for the data series using OFFSET, and I have also read that I need to refresh this formula using VBA but I am now very confused and none of my attempts quite work.
