I'm trying to create a macro to add a fill effect on the bars of my chart.
However, I don't want it to change the bar's current color. Just to do the effect on the current color.
Code:
Sub fill()
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select
With Selection.Border
.Weight = xlThin
.LineStyle = xlAutomatic
End With
[code].....
Here is my scenario, I have the following data:
Data Series 1
a=3
b=3
c=4
Tot 10
Data Series 2
d=2
e=2
f=2
g=1
h=1
i=1
j=1
Total 10
Data series 3
k=4 (d+e)
l=3 (f+g)
m=2 (h+i)
n=1 (j)
I want the three stack bars together, for the series 2 & 3 I want them without any gap so I can see how data series 3 is created.
I can't find a way to create a three stack bars chart that don't have the same number of data series, I don't want percentages.
I am trying to make a spreadsheet that contains numbers in columns D to P. My end user wants to be able to adjust these with scroll bars so I could make ActiveX scroll bars under each number in each column but this would be a lot of scroll bars (one in each row and columns)!!!!
Is there are way where I have have scroll bars in column D to P that only effect the active rows and always sits below the active row?
I was wondering how do you create a horizontal bar chart where the allocations within the bars change as the percentages change.
For example, if I have school stats where the there are 30 students in each class from grades 1 to 5 broken down between girls and boys
how can I get the bars for EACH grade to reflect the allocation between boys/girls?
I have a series of data and want to create a chart looking like this
Google Image Result for [URL] ...
Where it shows min/max on the error bars, quartile 1/3 on the box and median as a scatter plot. My data is a simple table
Group
Amount F
Amount M
Median F
Median M
Median F+M
[Code] ....
Here F = Female, M=Male and the chart should show all calculation for both gender together (I have another thread up where the gender are separated with the Title (How to create a stock column chart with error bars?? (Both gender separated))
I want to gradually change th colour in a block of cells. my plan is to use code to sequentially fade through ten or so shades from light to dark. is there a way to slow the code down so that it takes a couple of seconds to run the sequence?

Retrieve the current cell color (let's say A1 = 'green')
Format A1's cell colors (using the VBA equivalent of the 'Format Cells' / 'Fill' / 'Fill Effects' / '2 color Gradient' feature) so that the background cell color (color 2) is set to 'green' with color 1 being set to 'white' with a shading style of "From Center"
I'm using Excel 2010.
I am attempting to create simple charts to show survey results 2005 v 2006. I have a single series in a bar chart - chart type. The wizard initially makes both bars the same fill color. I right-clicked one of the bars to start the Format Data Series Wizard. On the 5th tab, "Options", I ticked "Vary Colors By Point". A new color was assigned to the top or first bar. So far so good. But instead of these colors, I would like to use a different fill effect for each data point in the series
So I walk through the wizard and desiqn a fill effect and click ok. The fill effect is assigned to both data points. I checked where I had ticked "Vary Colors By Point"
It is still ticked. Can I override this somehow so that each data point can have a unique fill effect?
I have set up a spread sheet which uses tick boxes and I have calculated it all up so that the percentage of ticks ticked is displayed in a cell etc. and when I link that data to a bar chart it works perfectly. .e.g as I tick the boxes the bar chart increases
BUT when I try to do the exact same thing with a pie chart it doesn't work.
I have a bar chart which compares two columns of data. the data in one column is fixed to 100. the data in the other column varies. a third column states whether each entry is "A" or "M". Is there a way to include the A or M on the bar chart? Perhaps by having a set colour whether the data is A or M?

As you can see, I dont want to stack the result, but rather compare two bars with the bigger one in the background.
i need to prepare a bar chart from some data. what i want to do is that i want bar size to be fixed (larger than what automatically comes) and then excel changes the size of chart based on no of x-axis values keeping the bar size fix.
(currently chart size is fixed and bar size changes accordingly, i just want the reverse that bar size is fixed and chart size changes according to no of values in axis)
I've just switched to 2007 and can't seem to find where they've moved the ability to change the width of bars in a chart. Where is it in 2007?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get the bars of a chart to change colour depending on the selection from a drop down in a cell. The drop down is validated to be one of four options which changes the figures displayed in the graph using index matching.I would really like the colour to change to represent what the option being selected is.
I used some VBA code before for changing the cell colour depending on the selection made to get over the 3 condition limit. Could this be easily edited to change a bar graph colour? All of the references I can see on line refer to changing the colours of bars based on their value, I don't want to do this, more an independant cell value!
My previously used code is below:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim iColor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("d9:d129")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target.Cells(1)
Case "Commercial Final State"
iColor = 49
Case "Commercial Interim"
iColor = 31
I am trying to compare the frequency of occurrence of multiple unique values within a data set and graph the results as a pareto. I have the formulas working to identify and count the occurrences, and the chart is designed and displaying the data, however I cannot get the graph to display in descending order.
I am unable to sort the data because it is generated from a series of formulas, the returned values of which cannot be sorted. (its hard to describe, see the attached workbook)
I would like to know how I can display the graph so that it shows the bars (primary axis) in descending order (highest value to left, lowest to right) since I cannot sort the data. i.e. For the attached workbook, I want the bars to display in descending number of occurrences: 81,15,5,5,3,3,2,2.
When I enter data in the cells A1 and B1, C1 needs to calculate the result. (not copy and paste)
For examle: I have formula C1=(A1+B1)/2
C column for formula, but shows result only when there is a data in A and B
I am trying to write a simple macro to create a chart over the used range in a worksheet. The first part of the macro correctly selects the used range which in this case is A1 to F19 when I single step through the macro. A listing of the macro is shown below:
Code:
Sub AddChartObject()
'
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
[Code]...
When I place the formula given in MyArea as an argument for the source data, I receive a syntax error, so obviously it is the wrong argument. Numerous attempts to correct it also failed. As a sanity check, I placed the used range in an argument for the source data and was able to create the expected chart. fix the syntax error in the macro
I have 6 columns. The 5th and 6th columns are the most important. The 5th contains a figure and the 6th contains a type.
Bascially I am trying to do a basic chart showing the following 2 things. A. Do a percentage chart of column 6 (service) but not of percentage of hoem many lines the product is in. Not based on percentage of how many times Apples are shown compared to other products. I need it to add up everything, then do a percentage of total amounts of oranges and total of for Apples from the figures on column 5. Also, if possible, the pie chart will even show teh actual total figure per product in each (or next to) each pie chart slice.
know the easiest way to do this (step by step) in Excel 2010 and then I can perhaps write a macro for the future?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a leave history report with data for leave taken for the 2014 year. The sheet contains the following headings:
Name; Leave Start Date; Leave End Date; Date Paid; Days Taken; Roundup; Offset
The roundup column rounds the days taken up, for example if someone took 0.4 days off it would round it to 1.The offset column just subtracts the Roundup value by 1 (=Roundup-1) I think we will need this for what I am trying to do.
I have created a new spreadsheet labelled gaant chart, this shows the name of the employee with the working dates for the year and has the following data:
Name
1/01/2014
2/01/2014
3/01/2014
6/01/2014
7/01/2014
8/01/2014
9/01/2014
10/01/2014
[code].....
What I would like for the macro to do is lookup Employee 1 from my gaant chart table and search the leave history data if it finds a relevant start date for the employee it marks that date with a 1, it then looks in the offset column and marks the number of offsets to the right. For example if employee 2 took leave from 1/1/14 to 3/1/14 the macro would mark a 1 on the 1/1/14, and search the offset column which would have 2, it will then mark a 1 in the 2 cells to the right of 1/1/14 also (these being 2/1/14 and 3/1/14)
I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet.

I am trying to derive the EMI for a Loan Amount and also chart a PIE graph for the same..
Instead of Manually feeding the values such as :
Variable 1 : Loan Amount : Min : Rs 50,000/- Max :Rs 5000000/-
Each Spin (1 Unit) -Rs 25000/-
Variable 2 : Interest Rate : Min : 5% Max : 30%
Each Spin (1 Unit) -0.25%
Variable 3 : Tenure/Duration : Min : 6 months Max : 30 years
Each Spin (1 Unit) - 6 months
I want to have a Scroll-Bar where the values can change Automatically but am not aware of using the same...
Can someone please help me with a small attachment with the above variables attached to it..The values drawn should be displayed as well above the Scroll-Bar and maybe can make the Min and Max more dynamic by storing it somewhere in the Sheet..
I am looking for Non-VBA solution to do the same..
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.
In the menu via TOOLS-->OPTIONS-->VIEW I am trying to remove the scroll bars from just one worksheet but when unticked, this option affects all of the worksheets in my workbook. Is there a way to just nail this selection down to one sheet via properties?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to control either the X or Y axis error bars for a scatter chart.
I'm building something like a gantt chart and I only want to use the X axis error bars and delete the Y axis bars. I've been able to add error bars by using "ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).HasErrorBars = True" but when i select the error bars using "ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).ErrorBars.Select" the Y axis (Vertical Error Bars) are automatically selected and any formatting I apply is added to the Y axis and left off of the X axis.
Does anyone know how to delete the Y axis error bars and/or choose only the X axis error bars?
