I have data that shows titles as 2-Feb, 2- Mar; which is really typed in as 2/5/2012 and 3/15/2012. My chart when graphed keeps showing the X-axis as 1-FEB and 1-MAR. How can I get the graph to show the x-axis titleas as 2-Feb and 2-Mar?
View 3 RepliesI've tried for some time now to create a chart where the x-axis make up for irregular dates. Making the line between 2 points longer if it's long time between them and short if it's short time between them.
I've finally understood line charts doesn't support that and I have to use scatter graph. It seems to work but the dates, the get all messed up. I type 2014-11-11 but the x-axis in the graph shows 2283-12-12 or something like that.
Got a notion that I might have to transform it to the date value manually first but I get #VALUE ERROR
i.e. 2014-11-11 in A1, then I type in A2 =DATEVALUE(A1).
How do I get a chart to work with irregular dates correctly?
I got a problem with displaying my dates correctly on the X-axis of my combined column - line graph. For some reason X-axis labels appear as consecutive numbers with regards to number of data points. Please see attached.
Also, why does the indent change as seen in this screenshot?
Last but not least, how can I prevent my secondary axis label from coinciding with the labels as seen here?

Is there anyway for a chart to show only a certain range, ie the past 12 months, without having to update the range every month?
We need to show our scrap rate over the last 3 years. At the end of every month we add a new line. When we enter the number of pieces scrapped for this month I want the chart to drop the number scrapped in January '07
I created a data entry form that contains a ComboBox. The ComboBox is based on a range that has three columns and many rows. The purpose is to have the user select an item from the first column, and the other two columns are automatically filled in on the table.
The form works and the data is transferred to the table as it should. The issue is that when you select the ComboBox, it displays the data from all three columns wrapped in two columns. Some of the data is repeated and it looks confusing. How do I have the drop down show only the data in the first column?
I am using Excel 2010 to create a simple chart. When I enter the information, highlight it and select a chart, the chart area appears blank. It doesn't matter what kind of chart I choose- it still appears blank. I've tried going into the Advanced options and indicating for All objects to be shown and that didn't work.

In column F I have a list of dates (dd/mm/yyyy).
I can manually filter dates ok, but want to set it to part of code to use automation for a report.
The code when run, finds nothing, where it should. I tried using [CDate] also but also same result.
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.
On this chart the X-axis are dates and the y-axis are daily scores. The chart shows each day's data point and computes a trend line. How can I dynamically calculate and display the average score as a single value somewhere on the chart? I could calculate the average in a cell outside the chart object but would like it to be part of the chart. I do not want to show the average as a separate horizontal line within the chart grid.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a huge amount of data 34,000 rows and would like to show it as days of the week.
As an example Dates show as 02/14/2008 10:00. I would like to create a new column indicating days of the week and show as Mon, Tue, Wed, etc.
I tried a couple of functions with little luck (weekday, day), so either I'm using incorrectly or I don't understand the help function.
My question is a display/ chart format question. I need to convey what I am showing on this chart in a less "busy" fashion. Is there a way to display the data in an easier to read and see format? In particular, is having both averages on the chart in the same format an issue?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a column of dates in one column and in the next column next to the dates, I want to show the day of the week that each date represents, such as;
Col A Col B
1 March 2008 Sunday or Sun

I'm designing a sheet at work where an individuals performance is monitored then charted. However the supervisor has now decided that he wants to see their performance charted against that of their entire team.
Using Data Validation i have a drop down selecting the user. Then their performance stats are found from various sheets using INDEX and MATCH. I have also done this in another cell to locate their team number ie "Team 1" for example.
Can i use VBA or any other method to generate a chart for when the team is displayed to then generate the entire teams chart? The data to generate this graph is on its own sheet as a team overview?
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 am using a stacked Data chart with Layout #5. See attached. I calculated in a table below the % difference between the 2 months, but is there a way to display this % difference of the 2 months either in the chart or in a table (or both)?
Is there a way to modify the table only? Or is there a different type of chart that can display this?

When you hold your mouse over a bubble on a bubble chart, it typically displays the x value, y value and size value. Is there any way to add other captions to display? For example, if my chart is based on sales data and I'm plotting a point based on ease of probability (x axis) and dollar value (y value)....I'd also like to see the initials of the salesperson assigned to that prospect when I hover over the bubble?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of setting up an Excel document and I need to be able to have it display dates in a specific format. I need it to express just a month and year such that the month is represented by a letter (A thru L) and the year is expressed as its last two digits such as in the these examples:
May 2012 = E12
Mar 2009 = C09
Nov 2011 = K11 etc.
I want the date to come out in this format regardless of how the user enters it.
If I have a date which is 03/09/2006. How can I create a formulae to abbreviate this. Ie to return 09/2006 (I am english so we have the DD and MM the other way round to you guys in the states).
In other words if an event happens on the third of september 2006 I want a column which classifies that event as september 2006 with NO reference to the day.
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.

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 table with companies across in columns, months down the side in rows, and 6 parts to the data in addition to company and month. I have quotes from 3 different sources, and won deals from those 3 different sources. How do I create a pivot table/chart to analyze the data quickly, or find out Top 10 companies quoting with value and top 10 companies with won deals?
I have attached an example, taking out the company names with A, B, C, and source with A, B, C. The cells do have an array formula which picks data from another spreadsheet. Which, by the way, is really slowing my machine down each time I type something into the spreadsheet.

I am using an area chart to display the price spread between different types of wheat.
Now the problem I am having is that, at the "end" of the chart, ie. the most recent observation date, the line drops to zero while the value is actually well above zero. How can I avoid this ?
