Change Order Of Chart Legend Freely
Sep 25, 2007see this example of a chart: see Image1.gif (the right thumbnail) as you can see 2 different types of graphs are combined: "lines with markers" and "clustered column".
in the legend one can see that the order inside the legend is clustered by the two types. within a type i can change the order easily (right click on a line or column - format data series - series order - up or down).
question: i would like to change the order freely. how to do this? for the order inside the legend i actually do not care at all, whether a representation of the data is a line or a column. i only want to make it as readable as possible. example what i'd like to get (made by handmodifing the picture with a drawing program): see Image3.gif (the left thumbnail)

Jun 28, 2005I am creating a chart where the number of data series used on the chart will change every time the code runs depending on what information people are looking for. That part works fine. I need a legend that shows which data series were added to the chart. Is there a way to get a dynamic legend on the chart that matches the data series, without manually adding it?

Jan 15, 2007I have a chart graphing different series, which includes a legend to label each series. The labels are linked to particular cells in the worksheet.
Most of the chart has Arial font formatting, but I need to change the formatting of a few characters in the legend:
I know that i can change the formatting of the whole legend, and even different entries in the legend. Is it possible to change the font of just a couple of characters in one legend entry?
Elements I need to change are:
Font type (eg from arial to symbol)
Size (varying from 8 to 14)
Bolding etc.

May 4, 2007I 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

View 1 Replies View RelatedSeries Order In Legend, Multiple Chart Types
Aug 4, 2006I have a chart that combines 2 xy plots and a set of stacked columns ( total of 4 series).
I can adjust the series ordering between the 2 xy plots, and between the stacked columns, but not for all 4 at the same time.
I'd like the legend to show up as:
Series1, Series2, Series3, Series4
where 1 and 2 are the xy plots and 3 & 4 are the components of the stacked columns.
It is currently:
Series3, Series4, Series1, Series2
Any idea how to re-order the legend entries?

The cells have been formatted in date format but lose this when concatenated.
Is there a sollution?
VBA Chart Title Difficulties
Oct 12, 2009I have a pivot table which I update on a regular basis. There's also routine during the pivot table refresh to assign variables to the minimum and maximum dates I include in the range.
Here's what I'm looking for - The chart title needs to be two separate lines. It should look something like this:
Labor Operations performed from min_date to max_date
(labor op code, description, total ops)
By themselves, I have no problem doing this. What I can't figure out is how to format the font of the first line of the title to have different characteristics from the second line. The second line is sort of a descriptor of the part in bold (in an attempt to keep my boss from asking me questions about what he's looking at)

Apr 30, 2013I am creating many graphs. I have already split my data so I can use CurrentRegion.I want each graph to have a different title using the text value of a cell which would be (6 * j - 5, 2) inside the For/To, but I can't get it to work no matter how much I tinker.This is the code as is without any of my attempts inside to clutter it up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFormula Entry Into Chart Title
Feb 12, 2007I've found several threads describing how to make a chart title dynamic by entering a cell reference into the formula bar with the chart title selected. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to have VBA "code" a formula into a chart title that would be a concatenation of several strings. Ideally, I'd like to specify part of the title from a variable, and another part from a user-specified range, as in the following snippet from a module of mine:
ChartSubtitleText = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5")
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
Selection.Characters.Text = ChartTitleText & Chr(10) & ChartSubtitleText
where ChartTitleText is a string variable that is passed to the Sub. This works fine and correctly builds the title block during execution of the macro, but I'd like to modify the capability to allow the user to enter a new value in Sheet1!A5 and have all of the charts update dynamically without re-executing the macro. Is there a way to have VBA create the chart and build the Chart Title with a formula that will allow for dynamic updating? I've tried having it enter the following line into the formula bar, but get errors: =CONCATENATE(ChartTitleText, CHAR(10), Sheet1!A5)
Cell As Chart Title When Using More Than 1 Column Of Data?
Apr 30, 2014I have a very simple template which plots out means and standard errors of a treatment structure. The input is from an analysis of variance so I want to have the significance levels dispalayed in the title. This is simple for a single col of data but when there are more then one it doesn't use a cell to populate the chart title.
From the sheet I've attched the first and second chart have dynamic titles, if you change cell F10 from 0.364 to 0.001 the title on the second chart will change to "Input (**)" as it uses M19 for the title. The problem is that for the 3rd chart titled "CV*TR (NS)" any change has to be done manually (change cell F15 to 0.04 and this changes cell J43 to "CV*TR (*)".

Sep 2, 2006I have a program that updates values quarterly when run. The spreadsheet that it works with also contains a couple of pie charts that correspond to the updated data. the charts only have one series with category values. I recorded a macro to see the code excel uses for creating a new chart and tried to modify the statements to my needs but have been running into runtime error 1004 ("Method ' Cells' of Object '_Global' failed"). The code is as follows I don't have any trouble until the last two statements.
Sub Chart_Updater()
Sheets(Chart1var).Select
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
If Chart1var = "COLI VUL 1 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 1 Allocation by Fund Provider " _

ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 2 Fund Chart" Then

& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 7 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 7 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
The variables fundtr1, fundtr2, and emptycolvar are public, and are all returning values, so there is no problem there. Also I can't use ranges like "A1:F7" because the range needs to be variable.
