With a scatter chart, you can use the following vba to set maximum and minimum category values on a scatter chart. Is the same possible for a line chart and if so, how?
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlCategory)
If Range("S6").Value "" Then .MinimumScale = Range("S6").Value
If Range("S7").Value "" Then .MaximumScale = Range("S7").Value
how to incorporate another category and value axis to my existing chart.
1. I need to add a rank axis derived from my data column (C6-C15). This column should rank from highest to lowest and create a tie if any number is repeated. I have arranged the rank column in cells B38:L38 as they would appear. I would like this to appear on the top or bottom of the bar graphs.
2. Second I need to add the frequency of hits which = 3 derived from cell J1 This should appear on the chart were it is currently titled. This should create another bar graph colored green and labeled 3.
3. Lastly the numbers axis can remain the same as it appears on the chart or if it would be better to align as shown in cells B43:L43.
Has anyone ever succeeded in offsetting category labels in a chart by surpressing the first category label. I am plotting monthly financial data over several years and want to show category labels for the month ends which coincide with quarterly month ends (i.e Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Dec-06). If I select 2 tick marks between categories I get Jan-06, Apr-06, Jul-06, Oct-6) because my first month and category label is Jan-06. Is there a way to offset displaying the first category label by two tick marks and start with Mar-06 and then go every two tick marks between category labels?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not seem to be able to consistently control word wrapping in the Category Axis area in the series of charts I create quarterly. The individual names appearing are basically the same, but sometimes they word wrap and sometime they don't. In the attached sample, sheet C2-Location: PPO chart is just the way it needs to be - NO WORD WRAP. But if you change that chart to another location it word wraps. (To change locations, go to sheet D2 which controls sheet C2 chart, and change the location to SGO.) It appears that the less bars in the chart the greater the problem.
I have spent 2 1/2 hrs trying to get in control of this. I have changed font sizes, changed the plot area, changed the grid lines scale, changed the cell size on the originating sheet (D2), removed the check mark in Auto Scale on the Font tab, and stretched/reduced the entire chart without consistent success. What is most frustrating is that twice I have "accidently" gotten a chart to all of a sudden not word wrap but don't know why because when I try to repeat what I think I did before, it does not work!
Additionally, at times it may appear correct on the screen, but when I do Print Preview, it is word wrapped! I have searched multiple sites and googled multiple Excel solutions as well as pulled out some books but cannot find any references regarding how to control this.
How can I add missing values to the axis in a pivot chart line chart? I have a numerical X-axis with values such as 0,1,5,8,14, etc. I have another set of Y values that correspond to the X values. If this was an XY-scatter plot I'd be able to plot X vs. Y and connect the dots for "gaps" in the X values. Since it's a pivot chart I cannot use an XY-scatter plot, I can only use a line chart. The line chart doesn't give me the ability to add the "missing" values, so it gives the impression that my data is more closely packed than it is. The data source is external to my spreadsheet, so I cannot add the values before creating the pivot table/chart.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've put together code to construct a chart
It all works fine but I've noticed an odd quirk which I can't explain nor can I seem to fix. Here's the (reduced) code :
Code:
Dim appExcel As Object ' Excel Application
Dim chtPareto As Object ' Chart
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set chtPareto = appExcel.Charts.Add
With chtPareto
' Primary category axis
[code]....
The category (x) axis title should be horizontal, whereas the value (y) axis title should be rotated. Stepping through the code, when I .SetElement for the category axis title, it appears horizontal as planned. However, as soon as I .SetElement for the rotated value axis title, the category axis title also rotates.
I am plotting a line chart wherein the X-axis is based on % and Y-axis is based on $. I have 5 scenarios wherein they have different ranges. I want to have the X-axis plotted up to 100%. How to get the X-axis stacked at 100%. See attached file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel chart as a separate worksheet. It has 10,000 data points. Is there a way to Zoom in on the X-axis only. I am looking to expand or zoom the X-axis to take a closer look at the individual data points. Since I have 10,000, I need a way to take a closer look at an area defined by the mouse pointer. Can this be done with VB code? I am not looking to expand or zoom the "Y" axis, this can be done with the scale values. Can this be done with a mouse drag or double click on the area of the chart I want to expand.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm building a chart wich displays data for each month and there are 3 phases that are defined by month and included in the chart. I've managed to show both of the category series, but I'd need to change the order in which the labels are displays. Now I have the axis in the following form:
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
I need it in the following form:
1.2013 2.2013 3.2013 4.2013
PH2 PH2 PH3 PH4
I have a set of data which I need to plot both unordered and ranked.
For the unordered (as is) data, a line graph is fine, as it gives the category labels along the x axis.
For the ordered data, i have a row with the ranking in, and then plot an xy scatter graph, so the values increase.
This obviously has the rank numbers along the x axis, not the corresponding category labels.
Is there anyway to force this? I know there are chart labelling add-ins on here, but our IT dept blocks the download.
The attched file is a very small example.
I have a spreadsheet with golfers handicaps, golfers names down the left in column A in rows 3-35. Row 2 has the event numbers titles 1 to 18 (18 events in a year). i need a graph that has the person as the vert axis and the horizontal axis needs to be the event numbers, so i can read down for the person and across to see how there handicaps change from each different event. i have attached the data below.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to have both horizontal and vertical axis as value axis?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem formatting a chart in Excel 2010. My chart has multi-level category axis labels, and I would like to have a vertical grid line separating each major group of categories. In Excel 2003, I could right-click on one of the gridlines and then specify the spacing I wanted between gridlines. In Excel 2010, as soon as I indicate that I want multi-level category axis labels, I get a vertical gridline between each category and I am unable to alter the spacing. If I deselect the multi-level axis label option, I can adjust the spacing between the vertical gridlines, but the axis multi-level label functionality is lost. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to using the drawing tools or text boxes to achieve the desired results.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a line graph that contains information for the following products,
Boats , Cars & Bikes.
The chart works well but i would like to show the numbered scale of each product & i can't work out if this is possible in excel.
Currently i can only get two data showing for the axis.
I would like to show all three & just use a color to indicate which data corresponds to which product.
In my attached example: I have data for both Cars (blue) & Bikes (green) but i would like to also show data for the graph scaling for Boats (pink).
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'm simply trying to graph my data on a line graph in Excel. see the attached.
The issue is that the spacing on the x-axis is all equivalent. I want the space between the initial and 1st month to be very small while the space between 6 month and 12 month be larger.
So at the end of the day, the line will be kind of crunched down from the beginning and goes up at the 6 month data point.
Is Excel capable of handling such simple request?
Two graphs with different scale x-axis.
Graph No. 1 with smaller time frame, Daily.
Graph No. 2 with larger time frame, Weekly.
Objective: Add vertical line to mark the same times in both graphs.
Trouble is both graph already utilise the secondary axis. VBA is allowed.
If I have data that shows one year back information, how do I get my chart to have the last date showing up on the axis (the date label) to always be the most current date?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a line graph with specific increments on both the x and y axis. Now, I can make specific increments on one, but have to sacrifice the other in order for me to label the lines. Im not sure how to get around this. I'll just type out what i'm trying to do and maybe you smart people can help me here.
Okay, both the x and y axis must be in increments of 8,10,12.5,16,20,25,30, and 35.
The first line should be labeled "Indicated magnification, and should have the values 8,10,12.5,16,20,25,30, and 35... the same as the x and y values, making the line a straight linear line.
The second line should say "actual m value" and have values of 10,12.5,15.5,20.5,25,31,37.5, and 44.
The third line should say "actual n value" and have values of 10,13,16,21,26,32,38.5, and 45.
I have been given a task to create a line graph who has 10 categories and each category has 5 different values. I need to plot a line graph, so that those 10 categories should appear on the Y-axis instead of X-axis.

I am trying to overlay a line chart on top of a stacked column chart. The stacked column chart is a chart where the x axis is dates and the y axis is amount. The line chart is a projected amount that I will reach in few years; the x axis is the date while the y axis is an amount. I can get a chart that has a line and stacked columns, but ever time, the dates get messed up. The line has an extremely wide date range while the columns only have about a month of data.
