I have a macro which formats charts. It takes a user selected chart and formats it.
I would like to allow the user to select many charts and process them all at once (instead of just one at a time).
The problem is that when I have X charts selected in Excel, the Selection object assumes the "ChartObjects" type which includes all charts in the worksheet and not only those which are selected!
If I do "Selection.Count" it will count all charts (selected or not) and if I do "Selection.Item(x).Name" I can access any chart on the worksheet and not only those which are selected.
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to determine which charts are selected by the user? Either using the selection object or any other method?
2. When I select multiple objects (chart and non-charts), the selection object assumes the "DrawingObjects" type, which when counted returns the correct number of selected objects. However when I try to access them via "Selection.Item(x)" I again can access all DrawingObjects in the worksheet. Is there anyway to determine which drawing objects are selected? And access them (so I can determine whether they are charts)?
I am trying to export charts to powerpoint. I have a sheet where the user gives the list of excel files and sheet names (charts as sheet) to be imported. I run a loop to create this... but then i get a script out of range error.

is it possible to protect a sheet resulting in images and charts not being clickable. only when the sheet is unprotected, the images and charts can be played around with.
Can anyone help me in finding how to write the command in VBA to determine what Cell was selected in a worksheet? The objective is to know what Cell has been selected by double click event to pop up a userform with a calendar from which the user can select the date. I am looking at making it dynamic so I do not select a particular range.
I have the following code which will determine if a user has selected a entire column.
If Selection.Rows.Count = 65536 Then MsgBox "User has selected an entire column." End If
Although it worked, but is there a better way to do it? I was thinking if future version of Excel goes beyond 65536 rows, then this code is definitely unusable!!
I have a column with comboboxes in each cell, each with LinkedCell set to the cell the combobox sits inside. Once the selection is made, I hide the combobox with .Visible="False". I want to be able to unhide hidden comboboxes by selecting a range of cells in the column, and then finding the corresponding comboboxes within each cell in this range, and unhide them.
I need to determine if any of the cells selected by the user have an indent level equal to 1 and if so then have them confirm the action. the below works well if the user only selects one cell but if the select 2 or more and any of the selected cells has an indent level greater than 1 it doesn't show the confirmation.
In the attached document is a timeline made from a scatter chart. Error bars using custom values are used to show the length of each task, however I can't get the chart to include error bars for the last 2 data points (tasks).
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.
Sub UWTierChart() Dim oCell As Range Dim oChart As Chart Set ws_data = ActiveSheet 'Chart 1 Sheets(wsPT).Select Range("B21").Select
I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB: Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB: If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Basically it is a if statement saying that if the selected cell falls between 1/01/06 and 31/01/06 then Jan would be selected. The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.
Sub test() Dim SelectDate As Range Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate") If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then ActiveSheet. PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _ "Jan" ElseIf selectedDate >= 1 / 2 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 28 / 2 / 2006 Then
However, I need to alter this to work for inserting more than one row at a time. ie. the user selects 'x' number of rows and 'x' rows are inserted below (in the same way 'Insert Row' works in Excel) and the row above the selection is copied down.
I have never done this before and I am having a hard time - it seems that none of the graphs in the Excel menu accommodate what I want and I have no idea what I am doing to boot.. Could someone PLEASE help?
My data is: American & Japanese workers can each produce 4 cars a year. An American worker can produce 10 tons of grain a yr. / Japanese 5 tons of grain a yr. Each country has 100 million workers.
Need PPF and Opportunity cost of car & grain from U.S and Japan.
I have at this for two days and I cannot get the information in the chart the way it is supposed to be. It makes no sense evry way I have tried it and the graphs don't even look correct. I've tried several line graphs and scatter graphs..
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'm trying to find a way to select all charts in a worksheet and pasting them into a new sheet as a jpeg and can't find a way to select the charts all together as a group like if you shift click them.
I'm looking to copy and paste them as a group because they are grouped in a specific way for a report.
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 ....
I have a piece of code that arranges a chart to fit the data it should show. The code used to work perfectly in the old Excel version, but after an "upgrade" to Excel 2007 I get "Automation Error" from the line where the scale type is set.
I 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?
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.
I am looking at the coding examples on the net and i am slowly getting there. However i seem to be unable to copy a chart from my excel file and copy into word. I need to be able to specify a specific position on the word document too.
I used a "MID" formula to extract some data and for some reason the chart I'm trying to use won't recognize the data. Here is a copy of what the data looks like. Non of the vaules will show up on the chart.
