Chart To Automatically Update When New Data Is Added
Aug 19, 2006
I have attached a copy of the chart and data. My chart starts on the bottom. I had to take out a lot of data but beneath the data shown is much more data..
I want my chart to automatically update when new data is added. Here are the issues. I have several lines of headers and below that my data. Then below my data I have other data that I don't want displayed in the chart (its not shown here because of size limitation of attachmnet).
The new row will be added each time right below the header, right above the
most recent data given. So a row will be added above row 8!
Is there a way to make a chart adjust automatically when you add to the source data? I'm trying to use a named range in order to power a chart (something like chart_data=offset(a1,,, counta(a:a),counta(1:1)); the range is working fine). When I put "chart_data" into the source field for the chart, it seems to work fine; it picks up the right range... But when I later add more data, the chart source data field seems to have converted my named range into a hard-coded range, absolute range. So the dynamical named range updates, but the chart doesn't and I don't see the new data. Am I doing something wrong that I need to tweak? Does what I'm trying to do just not work? Is there another way to make the chart pick up the new data without adjusting the range?
I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.
I have a worksheet used for a car game. Each row is designated to show one particular car that can be used in the game, so let's say that there are 40 cars taking up 40 rows.
Column A shows the car type and model; column B shows the engine that the cars has represented by a number (the higher the number the better the engine is); and so it continues, Column C shows the transmission; column D the brakes etc.
Underneath the 40 rows (lets say from row 45 to 65) I then have a table with spare-parts that can be used to replace the cars existing parts. This Parts-table is also arranged with engines in column B, transmissions in column C, brakes in column D etc...
This point of this layout is that it should be easy to compare each type of part in the spare-parts table with the corresponding type of part already used in any of the cars as everything is perfectly lined up by the columns.
About the spare-parts table: because the inventory in the spare-parts table often are added to or subtracted from, as parts are won in races or being put on the cars, I have created a macro to sort the parts in each column so as to put the best parts at the top of the table and the bad ones towards the bottom - so far so good.
The problem is this - as I add new cars, the table of spare-parts is pushed down worksheet and that means that the macro no longer will reference the right rows. So the question is this, how do I automatically update the macro to adjust for rows being added above it? I am not really interested in redesigning the worksheet.
I have a macro that extracts data from a source workbook. The data is owerwritten every time that I use the macro. Now I have a graph that everytime I use the macro does not update with the new data, Is there a clever way to do that? The code for extracting from the workbook is the following:
Sub Extract() Dim myFileName As Variant Dim SourceWkbk As Workbook Dim CurrentWkbk As Workbook Dim testWks As Worksheet ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("CURRENCIES").Select ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete myFileName = Application. GetOpenFilename("Excel files,*.xls") If myFileName = False Then Exit Sub 'user hit cancel End If................
I have a graph that is showing the date on "Y" axis and a value on "X" axis, when I add a new date and value to my data the graph does not update, it just shows the data when I first created the graph.
How do I get the graph to display the new data I entered ?
I created a line graph by clicking on the "A" in column "A" (Thats where my date is) then clicking on the "B" in column "B" (Thats where my values are) and clicking the create graph button then clicked finished.
I have a pivot table I am try to update. The table references another tab where my data sheet exists. If I add data to the datasheet how can I get my pivot table to recognize the additional information.
consolidating data from 3 worksheets which contain same data fields but each representing 1 brand. I like to have a summary/mastersheet to contain data from all 3 worksheets and then when the data in each worksheet is added or updated, the summary worksheet should reflect the changes (adding new data to the last row).
This formula calculates the average mailing return rate of all the mailings added together. J15 is currently white text to hide it from the end user.
Everytime I add a new row of data I need the formula to update itself automatically. So for example, the next time I add a row of data the above formula has to change to
"=J15/11"
Or if I were to add three rows of data the formula would have been
I need VBA code to automatically send an email notification when data is added to worksheet. I am not very familiar with writing code and have been using other code from other posts. Ideally I would like it to send an email notification with the added information attached, in this case it would be Row # and Columns A thru O.
I am making a macro to update the data on a bunch of charts. This is what I got from the macro recorder when I selected the data manually.
Code: Sub testthree() ActiveWorkbook.Charts("Julian's Words").Select ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Super Sight Chart Data").Range( _ "C1:H1,C5:H5"), PlotBy:=xlRows End Sub
I have created the part of the macro that will go to the data table and define the two ranges I need to use.
Code: Sub Adjust_Graphs() Dim lastdate As String Dim daterange As Range
[Code] .....
However, this code is selecting the entire range C1:H5. How can I get the code to take JUST the two lines I need?
Exmaple: The X axis needs to be C1:H1, and the Y axis needs to be C5:H5.
I also tried this, without success:
Code:
Dim combrange As Range Set combrange = Union(daterange, wordrange) ActiveWorkbook.Charts("Julian's Words").SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Super Sight Chart Data").Range( _ combrange), PlotBy:=xlRows
I am trying to make a line graph of a company's profitability. Each day I add a new page and use data I collect to determine the day's profit. I want the graph to update each time I add a new sheet. The cell that contains the day's final profit is the same cell on every sheet.
i'm trying to get data added in one sheet of a workbook to automatically be entered into another sheet. such as a monthly, Quarterly and Annual balance sheet.
I've been updating all the charts manually each time I update the entries in the worksheet which charts are created from in the same workbook. Is there any way (eg. by use of macros or VBA) that I can have all the charts updated automatically when data ranges are updated each time?
I already have various dependent validation lists established using the INDIRECT function.
Now I want to figure out how I can automatically change the selected values given the selected list. For example:
Cell D11 is a validation list with options: Boat/Car
Cell D15 is a validation list where if D11 = Boat the options are Catamaran/Sailboat/Tugboat. If D11=Car the options are Convertible/Sedan/Midsize.
The problem is that if D15 is preselected as Sailboat, for example, and you go back and change D11 to equal Car, cell D15 remains an option from the Boat validation list. I would like it to automatically update as the 1st item on the car validation list.
I used VBA to write a number of formulas into various cells in a workbook. After the VBA is done running, I change the values in the cells that are referenced by the cells I wrote formulas in. The formulas do not update after I enter this new information. My calculation is set to automatic, and F9 doesn't help.
I have entered all the formulas into my table (sheet 1) referenced to the source data but I want to upadate the source data regularly but when I delete sheet 2 all the formulas come up with #Ref error. how i can update my source data so my table automatically updates
On Sheet2, data validation is applied to cells D21:D70 to limit data to values to a list, which is a named range on another worksheet. There are ranges on two other worksheets with the same data validation rule. The range for the list is ‘Sheet1’!D12:D26 (which is named “Processes”).
On Sheet1, the user enters a list of their processes. Then on Sheet2 (and the other sheets where the data validation is applied), they select one of the processes from the list. This all works fine until they go back to Sheet1 and modify one of the previously entered values.
For example, "Brush Teeth" is entered as one of the processes on Sheet1. It is then selected on Sheet2. Then, the user goes back to Sheet1 and changes the value to "Brush Hair." When you return to Sheet2, the value is still "Brush Teeth." It can be manually be changed by selecting “Brush Hair” from the drop-down list (“Brush Teeth” is no longer available), but it doesn’t automatically update.
Data validation was applied to a single cell (A3) and the list was on the same worksheet (B1:B3).
Option Explicit Private oldValue As String Private Const DVCell As String = "A1" Private Const dataList As String = "B1:B10"

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be 'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard 'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select 'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
On Sheet2 (I assume I need to add this code to every applicable sheet), I tried editing the first part of the code as follows (changes in bold), but when I click on any cell on Sheet2 that has the data validation rule applied, VB returns the error “Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘Range” of object ‘_Worksheet’ failed.” If I go into the debugger, the second instance of “If Not Intersect(Target, Range(dataList)) Is Nothing Then” is highlighted.
A colleague recorded this macro to insert a row into a column of data which a graph is plotted from to automatically update the graph each time more data is added. I can't figure out how to simplify the VBA and stop it adding a row on row 57 rather than the bottom of the graph.
how to make all cells displaying an item from the list source update with new information added to list source.
Example: Cell "A1" on worksheet 2 displays the 3rd slot of information from list source on worsheet 5. I want cell "A1" on worksheet 2 to update when the list source information in the 3rd slot on worksheet 5 is changed.
Notes: The list is set up by naming the columns on Worksheet 5 and is set as a validation list on the other worksheets. So on Worksheet 2 column "A" has the validation
VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
I'm currently building a excel workbook with charts that are feeding from Countif formulas, from a incident reporting sheet, now some of these items have "0" values and as a result are piling up making the charts look unsightly.
I know if I hide the rows with that data in them, it won't show up on the chart, the only problem is that this workbook will be going to about 8 countries, so I want this to be automated, is there any way for those 0 values to be excluded.
I have no experience with VBA, and only a little with macros
I am working on a spreadhseet with multiple tables present on the sheet. Each table has various formatting, merged cells, formulas, and defined lists. I need to have the table add a new row below the last including cell formatting, formulas, defined lists, so I can just keep going through and do data entry. The code adds a row at the end so I don't run into the table below the present one, by monitoring how far away it is from the "Type" cell tag in column A. The code below is a compilation from viewing other threads, but it just does a copy and paste, including the data that was input so I'm looking at a duplicate row. How can I get ito to clear values in the new row? I can't seem to get it to paste xlPasteFormat and xlPasteFormulas Is the new row in fact being added below the last? I think it's up one after the macro had run through.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) r = Target.Row c = Target.Column If c <> 1 Then Exit Sub Application.EnableEvents = False NextLineValue = Cells(r + 3, c) If NextLineValue = "Type" Then ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Copy ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).EntireRow.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll Application.CutCopyMode = False End If Application.EnableEvents = True
See attached file. I have managed to work out how to update a chart automatically when a new row of data is added. However is it possible to tweak the formulas I am currently using so that it will only include 12 months previous.
For example if you add Jan in to row 26 the chart will show Feb-Jan data (Row 15-26).
I'm using a workbook that has one sheet that pulls data from all the others, displaying a series of rows that summarizes data from each worksheet, each of which is full of data. Its a worksheet that a lot of people use so its kind of tedious to use as of now, because whenever you add a new worksheet of data you have to manually create a row and then manually change all the worksheet references. Is there a way to make rows automatically add and update when a new worksheet is added? I know it would probably have involve some sort of Macro or VBA.
