I have a large chart made up with hundreds of rows and around 10 columns. Normally I would use certain pieces of data to find the correct row that would provide my answers. I have set up an extra column beside the chart that will put an X next to the row that will provide my answer. What formula could I use to have excel copy the row beside the X, and put it on another sheet in the workbook?
View 1 RepliesI need to plot various data on top of stock charts.
This data could be irregular in date: it could be weekly, or simply random.
To plot this data by itself requires a Scatter Chart.
From what I know so far, you CANNOT DO THIS.
However, I suspect this could be done if I build a Stock Chart from scratch using a Scatter Chart.
Error bars can be used to make the tails, however, I don't know how they built the body bar which has the characteristics of a bar (border, and interior.)
But since I don't really need those two characteristics, I just need a wider error bar line that is provided in the chart edit window. I'm guess through a macro, there are wider line widths assignable.
I am looking for a creative way to display a pie chart within a data point marker of a line chart.
My database has 3 value columns, Type1, Type2 and the Total (Type1 + Type2)
these are recorded per day (Date, in Column A)
I have a line chart that displays the total by date, but I want to find a way to display the percentage split of a particular day by type.
I was thinking to load the chart image into the Data point marker, but i don't think that is the best way as the data is updated daily and I would have to do it each day for a few line charts.
The other way I was thinking about was to have a generic Pie chat in the Line chart (Maybe in a corner) and the pie would update depending on way date series was selected or Mouseover'd)
the way that I am approaching it at the movement (Not the best way and by far not the coolest way. Is to have a list of all the dates in a column next to the Line chart and using some VBA, what ever date is selected in the column the pie chart displays the corresponding data. But eh challenge is that when there is alot of dates, I am going to be scrolling up and down.
I am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.
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.
I am trying to make a dynamic chart with a drop down/cell selection. I have a table with names vs. months. Each name/month has an associated value. I want to display a bar chart that I select with a drop down. i.e. If I select January, the chart will show january's data. If I select February, february's. Etc.
I tried to set my series values as: =indirect($C$1) where C1 is the entry cell for the month and the value corresponds to a named range. I get an error that says "That function is not valid."
When I try to put just the named range, excel highlights the correct range but then tells me that "the formula you typed contains an error. Try one of the following..."
I have a bar chart with a few text boxes on it. When I select the chart to print it, the text boxes don't print (or show in print preview). I have to select the cells that encompass the chart to make them print. I have even grouped the boxes with the chart and it still doesn't print them.
How I can make the text boxes print when I select the chart only?

I have a line chart that tracks daily inventory and daily distribution. The chart also has a static value of Max inventory and Min inventory levels. Is it possible to shade the area between the Min and Max levels on the chart a different color from the rest of the chart. For example the chart has a white background and I would like to shade the area betwen the min a max a light blue across the width of the chart.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAt the moment I've got a chart with 3 series lines on it and each line has 12 points. I need to select the 12th point on each series in the chart and create a label for it. The 3 lines are Budget, Forecast and Actual and often the Forecast line hits the same points as the Budget line in the chart and every time I try to find a way to select the last point on the Forecast line, I end up selecting the budget one because it's the one in the foreground.
I can select the forecast line with the keyboard arrows, but not the last point.
I also try to zoom in to get it but one of my charts has exactly the same forecast line as budget line and I still need the forecast line because the forecast will change in future.
I can delete the budget line then add it back, but this is difficult and one I'd have to repeat many times because I'm always making graphs and labelling the final point in a series is something I'm going to have to do more often.
How do I select the last point on the forecast line if it's directly behind the budget line?
I have made a simple procedure (which will extend to make something that I have to make but for time being) it asks user to select a chart type in a userform using option buttons and then the chosen chart type is taken as the chart type and makes the chart.
problem is that the typechart - variable to identify the chosen chart type - is not being recognised. Here's the coding, the variable is not passed (in yellow bolded) from one procedure to another?

I want to add a user-form on a chart, which will have check-boxes that will allow me to select series(lines) that I want see and compare in a chart. Currently my line chart has 24 series (Lines) which makes the chart very difficult to view and looks very busy.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Excel Guru's. I have more of a question or seeking advise on a task I have at hand. I have one of two files to work with. One file has about 20 columns of data, about 1300 rows. The file is employee data, namely: The employee ID, Employee Name, the employee's supervisor ID and the employee's supervisors name (columns A, B, C and D). What I'm after a heirarchy of sorts. I've used visio to create an Org Chart but once the data has changed (supervisor is terminated or changes departments) you have to re-run the org chart and that can be time consuming.
I was hoping that someone out there might have done something with VBA or a pivot that can display the sheet in complete heirarchy format.
I do have a second file that contains the same employee list, but this one has supervisors listed in a more of a level. Level 1 would be the CEO, supervisors listed in level 2 would be the employees reporting to level 1. Employees listed under Level 3 report upto the supervisor in level 2, and so on. I have 6 levels. Level 6 is all employees that have no direct reports.
Again a pivot table is a nice start but what I have is many of the supervisors are found in both level 5 and level 4....and the CEO is in all levels.
Is there a way to have 3 axis in a chart. Right now I have "X" and "Y" but need a 3rd.

I have a spreadsheet where users can enter a time using the 24 hour clock - these times are random and can be anything within the 24 hour period.
I want to create a chart or graph that has a timeline of 24 hours, (in multiples of 1 hour starting at 07:00 and going right through to 06:00), and I need the times entered by the users to appear on the chart to give an overview of when these incidents are happening most.
I was thinking that the cluster or scatter chart might work but I can't figure it out. I don't actually need both X and Y Axis, just a timeline - is it possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of data about companies in an Excel workbook. I need to be able to create a "summary document" about a selected company in word. One of the items that needs to be in this summary is a pie chart.
This code works fine for generating the basic text of the document:
Code:
Sub export_to_word()
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim companyName As String
Dim address As String
Dim revenue As String
[code]....
Creating the chart has been more problematic. I adapted the following code from an example found on MSDN:
Code:
Dim valueChart As Chart
Dim chartWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set valueChart = wrdDoc.Shapes.AddChart.Chart
valueChart.ChartType = xl3DPie
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
chartWorkSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Resize chartWorkSheet.Range("A1:B12")
[code]....
What I've found though is that this code is based on a macro inside the word document, not excel. So it runs fine from within word, but within excel it throws an error at this line
Code:
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
because ChartData is not in the object model in Excel. how to proceed at this point.
Basically the two instances shown are the same, one is a pivot table, the other is copy pasted values off the pivot.
I need to prepare a chart for this data such that the years are show on X axis and the "frequency intervals" and the Count are shown on Y axis ( Im assuming one would have to be one on primary and one on secondary).
What this data is conveying is that e.g. in year 2002 there were 16 customers who bought between 0-799 quantity of a given item, in 2003, 48 customers bought a quantity between 0-799 and so on and so forth.
