Visualize In Line Chart - Not Display Zero Values
Oct 14, 2011
I have a column of data that I'd like to visualize in a line chart. The cells in the column contain formulas that calculate numbers added to other sheets every month. The adjacent column has the names of each month. New data appears when the data for the month is added.
I'd like to ask the chart to not display the values that are currently zero, because we haven't arrived at that month yet. So, for instance, the cell in the column for November 2011 has a zero, because the range it sums has no data in it yet.
Is there a way to do this without having to go back to each chart every month and change the range to add-in the new data?

I am charting the following data (for a lot of countries, and the data changes based on a pull down menu which selects the country).
Yr1Yr2Yr3Yr4Yr5
Country1167155175188155
Country2145n.a.150140166
Country3142154n.a.170160
What I don't want is the line on the chart plummeting to zero when there is a "-", i.e. no value.
If I chart this instead:
Yr1Yr2Yr3Yr4Yr5
Country1167155175188155
Country2145[.....]150140166
Country3142154[.....]170160
..., where [.....] means a blank cell, then the 145 does now show up at all.

I have a spreadsheet where I track income (positive) and expense (negative) items and compare budget to actual amounts. I want to create a simple bar graph comparing budgeted amounts to actual amounts for each item.
However, when I do this, I see all of my income items above the line (pointing up) and all of the expense items below the line (pointing downward).
Is there an option I can select to just use absolute values for the items so they all appear above the line?

I have a dynamic Named Ranges called ChartData containing 4 values from 4 cells on the row selected. I have a chart using this Named Ranges so that the value displayed are always referring to the current row. This works fine. I created a second Named Ranges ChartAvg which is =AVERAGE(ChartData) that I project to use in the Chart. However, I need to have 4 time the same value (average) if I want to display a line in the chart.
My problem is: I don't want (and can't) enter the Named Ranges ChartAvg in 4 cells to use in the chart. I wish to create a 3rd Named Ranges called ChartAvgData that would be used in the Chart. So now, to my question : How to create a Named Ranges that is a list of (4) values, somethine like: {ChartAvg,ChartAvg,ChartAvg,ChartAvg}
This is not working, whereas {1,2,3,4} (for example) works fine.

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.

I have multiple sheets from 'START' to 'END' as you can see below, the name of the sheets are dates.
I want all sheets to be listed in the 'INDEX' sheet. Every time I add a new sheet between 'START' and 'END' i want the new sheet to be listed.
I want to use the value from cell C5 in each sheet to my Line Chart on the 'INDEX' sheet.
In the X-axis in the Line Chart i want to use the dates.

I want to make a line chart that plots a variable over time (say, monthly) and that shows upper and lower limits as the 2nd and 3rd plot. My table layout, boiled down to the bare essentials:
Col 1 = Measurement date
Col 2 = Measurement (pressure, for example)
Col 3 = High limit (never varies)
Col 4 = Low limit (never varies)
The chart/graph in this case would show at a glance how water pressure varies over time and when it goes over (under) a limit. The table has about 50 variables.

I'm trying to do a line chart showing two teams and their cumulative scores over the period of a game. I've attached a sample with mock data. Is it possible to change the x-series of the charts to display custom time intervals like 0 min 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, etc? Currently the x-series only has labels for each specific time there was a change in value. I've tried to change the scale but the options that I want aren't there.

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 am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.

I have created a population pyramid and want to add another chart on the secondary axis which I can do. The part which I seem not to be able to complete is getting the line chart secondary axis to read from the primary y axis. It seems to add a new axis, even when I delete this the line chart does not read correctly.

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.

Is there a way to display only the current month and the past 11 months in a Line Chart in Excel? So if I was to print Jan 2008 Excel graph, it would only display Feb 2007 - Jan 2008 data charting.
The spreadsheet of the data contains data for Jan 2005 - Jan 2008 so far, but only the current month with the past 11 months should display in the line chart depending on what is the current month.

I have a pareto chart(Bar & Cumulative Line Chart) that I would like to have the line orginate at x = 0 & y = 0 without changing the position of the other points on the line chart.
Basically this is for better visual appearance. When I add a 0 to the table, it skews the alignment of the line chart with the corresponding bar chart.

I can create a column chart in excel comparing sales in 06 v's 07 for each month in 07, what I'm aiming to show on the chart is how sales have grown or not over a comparative period. A simple enough graph, I end up with about 24 columns (2 for each month and then a gap between each month).
I now want a line chart to show the performance of an index over the same time period, lets say the FTSE100.
I don't know how to get the line chart under the columns on the same graph, using the same x-axis with a small y-axis to the left. I could propably figure out the y-axis bit if I could only get the line chart below the columns.

I want to use a line graph to display an amount over time - that's the easy part. On the other hand, I would like to have to group the lines based on a value.
A short example:
Imagine you own 3 different stores and you're selling oranges. So your table looks like this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orangeshm4.jpg
Now I'd like to have one graph (3 different graphs won't work as the rows increase -I need to select the whole column as data source):
Date on the x axis,
Oranges sold on the y axis,
and one line per store (e.g. a green one for store A, a red one for B and a blue one of C, doesn't matter).

I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

Is it possible to display all of the bars from a floating bar chart on the same line. The effect would be a single horizontal bar that turns "On" and "Off" from left to right. I'm not sure of the application, but it might represent when a room is occupied over time. I think one can create this effect using Andy Pope's "Column Chart with Varying Width Bars" charting technique (provided on his web site http://www.andypope.info/charts.htm ), but is there a more direct approach?

I have a problem here.
I am trying to create an inputbox such that the text will display line by line instead of one line display
EG:
Selection = InputBox("Enter Your Selection No. 1 for aaa. 2 for bbb")
Above code will display text as:
"Enter Your Selection No. 1 for aaa. 2 for bbb"
But i would want the text to be displayed in:
"Enter Your Selection No."
"1 for aaa"
"2 for bbb"

I have created some charts for my work and one of them is a line chart that spreads across one year with values for each month. Well they want the graph to always show one month ahead of where we are out. So there is actuals in for Sep. but then the line graph drops all the way to 0 for Oct. I don't want to have the graph bottom out when there is a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, as you can see in this chart I am plotting TOTAL company sales against its three merchandise components - men's, women's, and accessories. My issue is that when I had two rows to just show company sales against one of the merchandise categories -- and I Go TO TRENDLINE and show the R-Squared, it is ALWAYS THE SAME= 20%. CLEARLY, something is wrong beacuse (a) its different numbers for each of the three merchandise categories and (b) these three categories make up the total comp so CLEARLY it should be a higher R-squared than 20%. How Can I get it to properly read the R-Square.
