I update graphs/charts everyday. I've been looking at ways of updating a lot of charts in 1 action.....
What would the formula be to have the range of the chart (ie =Data!$BS$1188:$BS$1201) to get the row numbers, not the row, from numbers entered elsewhere on a data sheet (ie =Data!$BS$1188:$BS$1201)
As a lot of the time I use the same number range but on different rows and sheets.
I have a worksheet containing 16 chart objects. The source data for each of these charts is located on various other worksheets (all within the one workbook however). Whenever I change data on my Data Input worksheet, the source data is correctly being recalculated, however, the associated charts aren't changing.
The only two ways I can get the charts to update are: (1) save and re-open the file (saving doesn't fix it but re-opeing the file appears to do a full recalculation which then correctly updates the charts); or (2) click on each of the charts individually, go to Source Data and re-accept the data range that is already in there.
I've used the following VBA on my Data Input worksheet to try to do a full spreadsheet recalculation every time I deactivate it but this doesn't solve the problem either.
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Application.CalculateFullRebuild
End Sub
I've also tried CalculateFull and just Calculate in the VBA but to no avail.
My calculation is set to automatic.
I don't know if its relevant or not but this spreadsheet uses a custom worksheet function to derive some of the source data. I've never come across this problem before. Does anyone have any ideas on why its doing this and more importantly how to fix it?
The charts I received have many Series formulas that reference and external spreadsheet
Is there a way that I can modify them and reference the same sheet name but locally
For your information
When selecting menu Formulas and then "Show Formulas" chart data series do not display
When selecting a Chart the "Show Formula" selection is not available (at least I did not find it)
In addition, when selecting the Chart, Then Design, then "Select Data", it replies in the pop-up with the comment "The data range is too complex to be displayed...."
There are about 40-60 formulas as shown below!!
The sheet name with data is D_Brand_Q
HTML Code:
' here is a sample of the current formula
=SERIES('C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$1,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$E$197:$E$218,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)
' This is the desired formula
=SERIES(D_Brand_Q!$CC$1,D_Brand_Q!$E$197:$E$218,D_Brand_Q!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)
I have just been asked to update a file on a quarterly basis which contains a large number of charts based on the performance of various funds against their respective benchmarks. In column A I have dates going back to 2008 and then the fund and benchmark figures in the next columns. Each quarter there will be a need to update the charts to the new rolling 3 year period, i.e. in October when I update the file, the charts will need to show the results from 30.09.09 to 31.09.12
As there are 20 charts this can be quite time consuming? The charts sit on the same tab as the data, under the columns at the bottom.
For some reason, the charts in my excel workbook do not update automatically when the data are changed. I have set Calculation to Automatic, but it still doesn't work. They update only if I close and reopen the workbook. Is it due to a problem with setting? How can I get the charts to automatically update?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe question is pretty much described in the post title. Here is the situation:
I have a workbook that has data plugged into it manually throughout many sheets, and at the end there are a few sheets with different graphs and charts that are generated by a macro. This macros works perfectly - all the data is accurate and the figures are perfect when compared with a manual count. The problem I have is that the cells where the macro puts the summed values are in a chart that is supposed to create a bar graph. Normally, if I change a value that a bar graph uses I see the bar graph change - but that does not happen with the cells that have values placed in them by the macro. I also have a section that sums the values in the chart to make sure it's running right, and these values do not update automatically as well. The cells have the formula =SUM(B3:B12) and so on, in them. Right now, every time that I run the macro I need to go into the cell with the formula, hit 'enter', and then it does the summation. Is there a way to correct this problem, or is this something that is part of excel?
My DB is in table format . I use this table as source data for 2 barcharts and 1 pie chart.Following are my table headers
Costs|exp heads|Month1|Month2|...|Month n|Spark lines|Average
When i add a month coloumn,Sparklines and Average coloumn should get updated automaticaly.Now this is not happening even if the data is in table format.I also want the graphs to be automaticaly updated.
I am trying to put some charts into a report that is pivot table based. I have some code that will work if the pivot tables stay stagnic but the users may change the tables around so that could be an issue of new data. I have the following code where I changed the source to the pivot table name (general name because of numberous report possibilites). I have taken out the other charts because they are just a variation of the chart 1. I am crashing on the line with the * on it.

I have 2 charts on one sheet. Both the charts are generated using 2 different VBA code. I have also created a Button to trigger the code and generate chart when the button is clicked.
I recently realized that I was creating charts upon charts and was making the excel file bigger in size all the time.
So, I wanted to see if I can delete the individual chart before generating a new one.
Currently, I am using the following code to delete the charts.
I am having lots of issues with generating a scatter chart in vba. I tried recording a macro but the only thing that recorded was my different selection clicks on the chart. No formatting was recorded. I have the following ....

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that calculates a value for each age up to 65 on a separate row. I have parameterized the spreadsheet so that depending on the age entered by the user, any row below the age 65 calculation row is blanked out (set to "") with an if statement.
After a new age is entered I would like a line graph to compare the values. My problem is that if I select all of the possible data values (I assume none are less than 20, therefore there are 45 rows of formulas) any rows that have blank values show up in the chart. My data starts in cell A1.
I would like to come up with a macro that accomplishes the following . . .
- determines the number of the lowest row that has a number value in it (since there are formulas below this, Ctrl down does not do this correctly)
- set a named range starting from cell A1 based on x rows (calculated in the prior step) and y rows (constant)
I've got a table which has additives in Column A and products on Row 1. There are 13 additives and 10 products. Each combination of product and additive has a price. So I have 130 different prices in my table. The prices change monthly and the new prices are added to the sheet so that last months prices will move to left so that the newest price data table is A1:J13 and previous month is K1:T13 and so on.
I need to make an individual chart to every combination which contains the history of the price changes. I have two cells (A20 and B20) where the user can pick a product and an additive (created a menu by using Data|Validation...). These selections are combined in a cell C20 (=A20&B20). Then I have a macro that is linked to the cell C20 and is basically Case Is = 1st combination --> Call Macro1, Case Is = 2nd combination --> Call Macro2 etc.
That macro will work out just fine, BUT is there any way I could make all the 130 charts easier? Now I've recorded a macro that creates the first chart and then I've just copy-pasted it, changed the attributes (cell numbers, names and so on) that define the data to the next charts. This will take ages...
Every combination will have at least 13 changes (12 monthly price cells and the name of the cart) so in total this will mean about 1500 manual changes. In my case this will mean a high danger of typos.
I know, it would be SO much easier if I could give you the Excel file to look at...hopefully you understood what I mean.
I'll only follow the changes within a year so prices older than a year will not be shown in the charts.
Now I need to create multiple pie charts based on data in tables on many sheets.
I need to create the same set of charts, for each sheet separately.
I recorded a macro for one sheet, which created following
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$2"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$D$6:$D$8"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6:$A$8"
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$6:$C$6"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3
Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$A$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$7:$C$7"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='GALLERY ON 4TH'!$B$5:$C$5"
However I cannot automate. I tried different methods for creating the charts, as found on the site [prefer .chartobjects.add(x,y,z,a) since I can immediately position the chart] , but get stuck at seriescollection everytime.
It looks like when the chart is created by XL (with suggested data in it) I cannot address the series data.
I got it right to generate a chartobject that is empty, then added the series data to it, but when opening the new chartobject, it is again populated with suggested data.
How do I generate an empty chartobject everytime, so I can insert seriescollection info with code?
Any other way to generate charts?
Excel / Word 2003.
I am exploring yet another avenue of vba coding that i am not familiar with.
I have a template word document that i am wanting to fill with items (be it cell values or charts) from an excel file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my Excel 2007 I have downloaded an Add-in (Webiress data) which allows me to receive RTD of a particular security which I then use to plot a chart. In a day there are around 15,000 changes in prices of that particular security.
The problem is that the RTD misses many prices when the market is fast and also it frequently (around 20 times per day) stops updating and then I have to clear the cell where the RTD is updated and it returns to normal, updating the prices for few minutes and then stop again.
A friend of mine told me that I have to change one Registry in Excel to tell Excel to check for a RTD every 2 miliseconds. I found this suggestion a bit strange and I have no idea how to do it.
Has anyone ever come across a RTD issue like this?
I contacted the server provided (webiress) and they said there is no problem with the updating of RTD (real time data) and the problem should be on my side.
I'm trying to create multiple Charts with VBA, each chart on a seperate Sheet. The link below works but i need to change it some and i'm stuck. What i'm trying to do is create a new sheet for each new graph, but I need it to create a graph for the 250 associates in column B then plot 52 weeks of their % from the Row their name shows up in. First name is in (B3), his % data is in range (N3:BO3). I have the weeks numbered out 1-52 in (N2:BO2) and i'd like their name to appear in the Tab and on top of the graph. I applied the VBA code from the link below to my sheet and changed what i knew i needed to change, but it debugs. I use to do each graph manually when i had 25 associates but i would like to use this for the whole building now.
