Why Y Axis Label Values Inside Plot Area

Jun 29, 2014

I'm using Office/Excel 2004 on a Mac Mini duo running OS10.6.8. I upgraded to Office/Excel 2011 but I find the program so horrible I had to switch back to 2004.

The problem: On one chart, the Y-axis label values have moved from outside the left-hand axis to _inside_ the right-hand axis and within the plot area. I can't figure out how to move the labels back to the right position.

Excel 2007 :: Horizontal Align X Axis Title To Plot Area VBA?

Jun 16, 2012

We have a lot of charts we want to create in Excel 2007. We have templates created that seem to work. (But also sometime seem to not.)

After the charts are created that are placed in their own chart pages/sheets. The problem I'm having is that the x axis title doesn't seem to be centered horizontally wrt the x axis of the plot area. (It does look centered wrt the chart area.)

Some code or an algorithm to control he placement of the x axis title and maybe center it?

Label Scatterplot Chart: Plot Two Values Against Each Other Using A Scatterplot, And Label Each Service

Feb 13, 2008

I'm working for a local authority who have been given a mass of survey data. In this particular task, residents of each small district within our area have been asked their levels of satisfaction with a service, and how important they think that service is. I want to plot these two values against each other using a scatterplot, and label each service.

Excel does not automatically allow this so I used a very good sheet from the forums here: Attach labels with names to the points in a scatter plot. It's the top file, and works well. However, I can't seem to customise it for my own data.

Problems include:

- Excel often freezing when I try to run it
- Not all the data being picked up for the chart
- Incorrect labels being picked up..........

How To Plot X Axis Values From 00:00

Mar 15, 2012

I have data that starts from say, 17:50 hours. However, I would like the chart to start from 00:00 to 00:00 so it is a full 24-hour period. So up to 00:00 to 17:50 hours, it would be blank then the data will be plotted from 17:50. How do I do this? If I select the existing data from 17:50 and ask Excel to create a chart, the x axis starts from 17:50 (not 00:00).

(x,y) Scatter Plot Label Vba Implementation

Sep 2, 2004

I have a scatter plot with 150 points closely grouped. Enabling the label option clutters the graph. A cleaner way would be to hoveri the mouse over a data point and pop-up a box displaying it's value (x,y) as well as a label contained in an adjacent column.

Details:

The default functionality is that when the mouse hovers over a particular point the yellow pop-up box appears withData set label
Data point name "x"
Data point (x,y)
and one can choose to show "label-name-point" or just "point" by accessing the Tools-Options_Charts menu item. What I would like instead is to hover the mouse over a particular point and get the yellow pop-up box with the following functionalityData set label
Data point name "label"
Data point (x,y)
where the label is contained in an adjacent column in my data spreadsheet.

I read a post by Andrew Poulsom that stated it is probably not possible to customize the yellow pop-up baox and then offered some vba code to allow a mouse click to bring up a label. I was wondering how to implement this code in the spreadsheet. Also, does the graph have to be embedded in the worksheet "as object in", or can I use "As new sheet"?

Label Chart Scatter Plot Markers

Jun 4, 2008

In the attached spread sheet I have created a scatter plot. How can I label each of the markers with its appropriate label from Column A - the Company Ticker. 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.

Format Chart Plot Series/Axis

Jan 16, 2007

im having problem formatting my graph.

chart type = line.

I have 1 series of data, which is N values vs. Time.

Time however, is specified by specific dates. The graph is not putting a plot point accorrding to the date corresponding to the N value.

Example values:

date:____1/1/05 _______ 5/7/05 _____ 8/13/05
n value: __55 ___________ 22 _________ 11

I want the chart to reflect the time between the dates and put a plot point (n value) under each date listed and connect with a line.

Formatting X Axis On Scatter Plot Chart

Jul 27, 2007

Attached 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.

Changing Values Of X-axis, And Descending Order Axis(x-axis)

Feb 8, 2009

Two questions:

1) How do make values on x-axis as words? E.g. apples, oranges, etc.

2) Is it possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order? If I can figure out 1), I can do this as well, but it would be nice to know if it is possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order.

Plot Area Custom Gradient Fill

Jan 3, 2012

I'm trying to format the plot area of a X-Y scatter chart in a three colour gradient (Green, Yellow & Red).

The trick is, I would like the green portion to be centred in a user defined place on the plot with the yellow radiating from it, and the red radiating from the yellow. Ideally I would like to define some stops for the green as a user defined shape, with stops for the yellow outside the green stops (like the % stops you get in a vertical or angled gradient, but instead of the stops being simple straight lines or concentric circles from the middle, they would be user defined shapes).

I can do the normal types of gradient, but have no idea how to customise them in this way.

Incorrect Plot Order: Area Chart

Oct 26, 2006

I have plenty of experience with VBA outside of charts so that's where I need assistance. I need to get SeriesCollection(4), the PTAI series, to appear on the area chart second from the bottom instead of on the top.

The order for the non-line series should be, from top to bottom:
SeriesCollection(3) - Non-Mission AC ( Training, T&E, AMarc series)
SeriesCollection(2) - Total Pipeline series
SeriesCollection(4) - PTAI series
SeriesCollection(1) - Available PMAI series

Here's the

Sub MakeSandChart()

Dim ChartSource As Range
Dim ChartName As String
Dim ChartSheet As String
Dim yCount As Integer
Dim PAA_Value As Integer

Application. ScreenUpdating = False

passtype = Mid(ActiveSheet.Name, 5, 1)
Set ws = Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name)

ChartName = Left(ActiveSheet.Name, 5)
ChartSheet = ChartName & " Chart"
ChartName = "F18" & passtype
Set ChartSource = Union(Range("SummRowDate" & passtype), _
Range("SummRowTAI" & passtype), _

Legend Overlaps The Plot Area Of Chart

May 4, 2007

I have charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use chartobjects(i).plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that.

Unfortunately when I set these values they still change and get antoher value, there is some scaling going on in Excel and I do not know where that comes from. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned.

De data for resizing the charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.

I show you my code, the part with the for-next is taken from the internet.

With ChtNew.legend
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.Legend.Height
.Left = ChtOrig.Legend.Left
.Width = ChtOrig.Legend.Width '* 1.1
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top + ChtOrig.ChartTitle.Top
End With

Table Inside Chart Area

Aug 4, 2008

trying to find a way to insert a table into an active chart area.

unlike inserting charts as objects inside of a spreadsheet, i am trying to insert a table of the spreadsheet into the chart window.

the purpose is so that i may have a numerical reference to my data.

usually i post questions to which i have begun work on - but i have had no luck even brainstorming how this would be done!

the ONLY solution i have surmised is to insert a table into a chart area as an Object(picture)

but how would one write a macro for making dynamic range screen shotpicture files?

Fixing Chart Axis Scale To Thousands And Displaying Multiplication Display Label On Remaining Number

May 16, 2013

I want to automate the Display labels in my Charts using VBA Coding…

I would need to use this small code in Charts with different Scales as some of the Scales in my Data are in a very large Range close to Trillions so its not possible to have these as the Primary-Y-Axis Scale and therefore I would need to use the in-built Display label option which Excel provides..

However, I always prefer to have the scale in the Range of Thousands so the Max I can have in the Scale can be 10,000 so if there is any Number more than that or the Scale is going above than I would prefer that this gets auto-calculated to Multiply with the remainder and show appropriate Scaling.

For Ex:In this example My largest Number is 4500000000 which is 100 M..So I would want the scale to show 4500 and the Display label as X Millions..

So The Display Label would be different for different Ranges but the Max Scale preffered would be 10,000.

How To Plot No Values In Bar Graph

Jun 3, 2014

I have a pareto for a manufacturing facility that has a list of nonconformists and their occurrences in columns K and L. My issue is since it is a running total for the year at certain times the values are 0 for the number of occurrences. This calculates fine, but the graph is very large and the failures are all located on one side instead of being evenly distributed. I am trying to get it to only plot for what has occurred and not have a bunch of blank values. To make it a little more complex I'm trying to avoid macros.. I can get them to show up blank just can't get the bar graph to resize itself to fill the chart.

Creating A Range Of Values To Plot?

Apr 8, 2012

I am importing a text file and plotting some of its contents versus time. The file provides the end time and the step interval. I know that in Matlab you can define a set of values with the start, end, and interval, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with VBA. I have toyed with fill series, but no luck there.

Specifically, the file I'm reading in (a relay event file with voltages and currents) gives the maximum cycles as 15 and the samples per cycle as 16. Therefore, for each voltage or current sample, I need the time to show as 1/16, 2/16, 3/16, ..., all the way to 15 cycles. I have tried to manually do this and record the macro, but after I put in a few x/16s, when I try to extend the formulas down the rest of the cells, instead of continuing the trend (4/16, 5/16, 6/16, etc.), it repeats what I put in first.

Chart: Plot Overlapping Values Software

I wanted to ask if you know any charting software which can give weight to elements on a chart when two or more variables overlap? Ideally the color intensity of, say, circles should increase from pale blue to vivid blue depending on the number of the data items which are operlapping at one point. I include a sample chart which should give you a general idea of the chart I want to make and the data set from which it was made.

Summing Matrix Values Based On X & Y Axis Values

The simplified example below is intended to calculate the sums from the data values in the upper data set and place them in the appropriate cells in the lower summary table. Example......

I would like to find a single-cell formula that will handle the multiple instances of either the X or Y headings (ex: there are two 'Yes' Rows) and still reach the appropriate summations. I would like to accomplish this without resorting to Macros or manual cell references if possible. I've acheived some limited success with array formulae so far, but find that the multiple instances of 'Yes' cause only one row to be summed before the formula finishes.

How To Create Scattered Plot With Repeating Values In The Same Group

I have data that is something like this:

3 50
1 500
3 100

I want to create a scattered plot charts based on the data above but I cant get it to work for some reason. I want to have the "Group" on the x-axis and the "Assets" on the y-axis. I don't want to combine the same group number (for example to have group 1 with total assets of 1000, I want to keep it as 200 300 and 500 because I want to show which group is more represented than other group.). I have tried sorting the data by group and also with out sorting but the data doesn't plot at all (everything looks clustered at the 0 level on the x-axis instead of the respective asset level.
