I have a project coming up where I will receive tables in a certain format. I want to be able to create a macro that well create a chart based on a single inputted cell (start of data). The chart will have 4 series and five values per series. See the link below for sample data! The first data point is not in the same place in the sheet, but the table will have the rest of the data relative to that!

Does anyone know if there's a way to color code points on a scatter chart based on their values in a "3rd dimension" (i.e. other than the 2 dimensions represented by the chart axes).
You might imagine a scatter chart that plots transactions by price (y) and units purchased (x).
In that scenario, it might also be nice to color code each point by the region that made the sale.
The only way I know to do this is to manually create separate columns of data for each region, so that each region can be plotted on the scatter chart as a separate data series.
But since I'd like to experiment with several color coding alternatives, I'm wondering if there isn't a simpler way...
For instance, Rob Bovey's "XY Chart Labeler" can add data point labels to a scatter chart...
Is there, perhaps, another add-in that might enable color coding of data points based on a 3rd set of values?
would like the points in my scatter chart to be displayed
with the same font color that is in the Data cells being charted.
the cells for the scatter chart contain 2 font colors - red and blue
e.g.
Cell Cell
a2 is red b2 is red
a3 is blue b3 is blue
The idea of getting a scatter chart to have a smooth spectrum from http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/xy-scatter-color.htm is brilliant, but there is a slight problem I am having with it. The number of points possible in the chart determines the color, rather than the values of cells. I have a table with 100 rows and the chart is based off data from that table; however, instead of using cell references in SERIES, I have named ranges, as part of the table returns a shortened list of values based on user-selected parameters.
In short, this means that if only 7 values are returned in this shortened table, the coloration sees 7 values out of 100 and goes only 7/100ths of the way from red to green. Is there a way to get the coloration based on a certain value in the worksheet for that row? For example, if I have a list of test scores ranging from 0% to 100%, can I get the same coloration to show for a score of 88%, regardless of whether one record is selected or all of them?
Also, if I wanted a user to be able to easily change the parameters of the spectrum so that they could see a spectrum of scores from 50% to 100%, can I get the macro to look these values up from the worksheet?
There are two modules in what I am using now, the class module is called CSpectrum and reads:....
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 would like combine (overlay) a bubble chart with a connected point scatter chart. I understand that, without VBA, this is not possible. However, I understand that, by using VBA, the markers of a scatter chart can be configured as circles with their size proportional to values in a specified column. This pseudo-bubble chart can then easily be combined with a connected point scatter chart.
My question is: does anyone have any VBA code to share that shows how to configure a scatter chart as the type of pseudo-bubble chart described above.
I would like to combine / overlay a bubble chart and scatter chart with straight connectors.
I understand that, without VBA, it is not possible to combine a bubble chart with a scatter chart.
Unfortunately, I am a VBA newbie, and so I cannot write my own code (though I can usually adapt code to my specific environment).
My question is: does anyone have VBA code to share that will convert a scatter chart series (x,y data in 2 columns) to a bubble-style chart (bubble radius in 3rd column)?
I'll attempt to explain what I'm hoping to do. I have a column of data that I want to plot out into a chart. For example the data points might run from -1.50 to 2.5.
Let's say there are 20 data points in the column and they are spaced thruout the range shown above. They tend to cluster amoung themselves into 2 or 3 distict groups.
I want to first produce one horizontal bar that runs from the -1.50 to 2.5 overall range and secondly, I want to overlay a scatter chart horizontally over the bar showing where the data points lie within the range and also so I can visually see the clusters of points.
With the data residing in a column, when I generate the scatter chart, the points are laying verticle within the chart and spreadout horizontally. I can manually get what I want by narrowing the chart down to the point that the points lie on a straight vertical line, but I haven't been able to figure out how to "rotate" the chart 90 deg to overlay the scatter points within the bar chart.
Naturally, the optimum solution would be such that I could generate the charts originally and then allow the spreadsheet to generate the new charts as we modify the data values, etc.
Charting query:
Data: starting from row1
Column A Column B Column C
Supplier Sales Rating
Sup1 100 5
Sup2 100 3
sup3 65 5
sup4 80 4
Column B (Sales) is the X Axis and
Column C (Rating) IS THE Y Axis
Query:
On the Scatter chart when I want to show data Labels or when I hover the Mouse over the Points (100,5), for example, how do I get the corresponding Supplier Name to show as well ?

now i want to make 5 different graphs one per each group. Now i am making them manually in excel but it is taking lot of time to format each graphs to get unique graphs. I am attching sample file and graph for better understanding.
The attached file has a scatter chart in which all of the data is properly displayed except the X axis. How can I get my X axis to reflect the data I have selected?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 200+ XY pairs I want to chart and see a visual representation of their distribution. Then I want to cursor over exceptional points and see their identity. I don't need (nor want) data labels, disparate markers, nor a legend. I just want the points scattered on the xy plane. Also, the data set changes depending on user-controllable filter criteria.
There are two problems:
1. If I build it through the wizard as a single data series, everything is fine except that the charting process seems to replace the X value of the XY pair with a sequence number once I swap in a new data set, and ...
2. I seem to loose the individual point identities for cursor-over purposes.
The only solution I can think of for these issues is making each XY pair a one-point Series, but that's a hugely laborious way to do it. If that's it though, is there a way to globally load the independent data series and set every data point marker and color to be the same?
However, if I could do it as a single series, then I still have the issues above. Is there a way to prevent Excel from converting the X values to sequence numbers once a new data set is swapped in, and is there a way to identify the individual points for cursor-over?
I'm trying to create a very simple map.
I've got three columns.
Member, X, Y
Naturally, the first column contains someone's name.
The other columns contain XY coordinates.
These coordinates start at 375 and end at 499 on both axes.
I'm needing the points to show the member name and xy coordinates in the popup when hovering over the point.
How do I accomplish this?
Here's some sample data.

I have downloaded a file called "scroller.xls" under the section "Excel charts". The file was made by Andy Pope and shows how to make a graph dynamic by combining Named Ranges and a scroll bar.
My chart is actually XY scatter chart with data points connected with smooth lines. I followed but when I start scrolling, the data points (smooth lines) got "eaten up" as I move.
I tried line chart and it works perfectly.
Does scrollbar work for XY scatter chart? Is there a different formula for XY scatter chart?
And I want the chart to be in new sheet, but I couldn't put the scrollbar in new sheet. I would like to know if it is possible when the chart is located in new sheet because my chart is quite large.
Hello I'm looking for some clarification about how to use "= SUM(RC:RC)". I don't understand what the RC:RC represents. I thought that this was the directions for where to "position" the formula, but I think I'm missing something.
I was able to include the correct cells that I need summarized, but the answer is not right; it's zero.

I have a series of X-Y Data (0-10 in both axis) that I want to overlay on an area chart to show outliers outside of an accepted condition.

I start with Scatterplot and put those in the graph, then I add other data and change it to Bar Chart, but this is the point where X-Axis gets mixed up and scatter plot X data and Bar chart X data are not matching.
I have some data where I am plotting cumulative M events versus time (blue). I would like to make a tick mark, or dot or something to indicate when event N (pink) occurs on the blue line. Imagine that I am measuring eating (M) versus time and that I want to show on that line the points when food is delivered (N). this is the plot I desire (ive shown some ticks and dots as examples, how can i do either one?): http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...2F360E1F246391 and this is my data/current plot: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...27974E102C0620
View 2 Replies View RelatedAttached is a chart I am trying to create. So basically, I originally used a line chart but it didn't have the flexibility of the scatter chart, but i am having a very hard time formatting the X axis. First of all - I would like the line in the middle at the 0% point to actually go to the bottom so that the x axis labels aren't in the middle of the graph. Second the x axis labels aren't showing up correctly. They should be quarters: 1Q:02, 2Q:02, 3Q:02, 4Q:02... Finally, how can I show the correlation between these two data points plotted - the R-squared. THANKS!!! Auto Merged Post;I actually was able to figure out most of what I asked. What is remaining: how do I calculate the R-Squared on the chart? Isn't there a way to do it automatically in excel on the chart.

When I right click to show data labels it brings back the incorrect column. Also is there a way once the labels are brought in to put them in the circle and so that the chart doesn't look too clumped together.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a criteria matrix in Excel 2010 that automatically plots a single member in a Scatter Chart based on the two values. There are 4 suppliers listed in Column D starting in cell D4 thru D7. The "x" value is listed in Column E starting in cell E4 thru E7. The "y" value is listed in Column F starting in cell F4 thru F7.
The scatter chart will plot the points correctly, however, there are two issues: 1) If I try to insert a data label using the "Series Name," or in this case, the supplier's name, it will lists ALL of the suppliers Column D. It will not list the single supplier listed in cell D4. 2) The scatter chart appears with gridlines as a 4x4 matrix with a total of 16 cells. The "x" and "y" axis both start at 0 and go to 4. I can shade the entire chart one color. However, I want to shade some of the cells with darker and lighter shades.

My X axis range is small 1 to 4. but I want to show minor grid lines at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 only. I do not want lines at 1, 2, 3 or 4. I am not sure how to achieve this. as switching on minor grid lines, included those at the integers as well as at the half way points.
I need to plot multiple series in a scatterplot. The problem is that the number of series is user-defined. And also, the number of data poitns in each series is different. I've looked it up already, but a lot of the examples i've seen don't account for the fact that I need to run through a loop and add series into my graph.
In other words, i need a way to select a certain range each time it runs through the loop, and add the data as a series into the chart. Also, the user enters how many series there are, so I use that as a counter
What I want to achieve is a script that would create a new scatter plot of multiple series from a selected block of cell. I found a thread that was similar but what is different from my data is that my x values are different for each series.
The format of the data is in the following format, the first series will the first x,y pair, the 2nd series would be the second x,y pair. I don't know if it'll be an issue but one thing is that the date might be different lengths. For instance, the 3rd series, only has 4 data points, whereas the other series contains 6 data points?
x0.200.400.600.801.001.20
y5.002.501.671.251.000.83
x0.100.200.300.500.701.30
y5.002.501.671.000.710.38
x0.100.300.400.50
y6.672.221.671.33
So essentially, is there a way I can have the script say, select your range, and then graph the selected range as a scatter plot?
I have to create a chart XY Scatter plot in excel. I have to differentiate the data points color based on the another column "category". Now I can change the data points color manually. Since the number of points is huge, is it possible to color the data points based on a column?

I'm working on a workbook for tracking debt. It has 15 sheets. Instructions, Charts (for showing debt change over time), "Invisible" (this is where my chart data is, I plan to hide it), and 12 month sheets. On the Invisible sheet, for example, I have my data set up. I'm pulling the data from other sheets. In the screenshot, I'm using =Month12!P48 as the formula to pull my data from the other sheets. But, the user hasn't entered data yet for month 12, so the line chart drops to zero there. I want it to just stop and do nothing, until there is data in that cell. (I would prefer to use a line chart vs a scatter chart for this, but I have the same problem in both)
