Plotting A Function Without Values In Cells

Sep 6, 2008

Is there a way to plot a function, for example y = a + x*b or y = e^x in a graph without it having x and y values in cells of the spreadsheet?

That is, in y = a + x*b, for example, what I'd like to do is have an input cell for a and b, but no cells that show a value of y for every corresponding value of x , and a graph on a chart showing what the function looks like. Thus, the graph would only rely on inputs of a and b and on nothing else. A program called MathCAD does this, but I'm not sure how to do this in excel.

Scatter Will Not Use Given X-values In Plotting Data?

Jun 12, 2014

I'm trying to make a scatter plot from two columns of data; the first, a series of decimals between 0 and 1, the second, a series of percentages between -40 and 140%. Essentially, I'm charting a performance (%) vs. a 'batting average' (decimal between 0 and 1).

However, when I plot these data points, the x-values the chart takes are, I suppose, the relative position of the data within the column (i.e., 5, 9, 32) as opposed to the actual values (.33, .71, .92, etc). I've tried manually selecting the data, copying only the values into different cells...nothing seems to work. Each time, I get points like (11, 61%) instead of the desired (.48, 61%).

Plotting Chart To Get Data Values

Nov 19, 2006

Say I have a line graph pic in jpeg. Can I plot the critical points (by clicking) on the line graph plot, so as to be able to get the (x,y) data, and thus, have all the data points to be able to re-produce the charts in XLS?

Basically, in other words, I would like to reproduce the line graph in XLS.

Or has anyone developed this kind of application, or can anyone redirect me to the right direction?

Stop Chart Plotting Values

Dec 7, 2007

I want to do almost exactly this, but when I assign null using "", and plot the result on a graph, the graph thinks that cell is populated with a 0. Let me try to be a bit clearer. I have a range of dates in Col A, and percentages in B and C, but my last 3 dates in Col A have empty cells in B. Cols B and C are separate series. The line graph is (correctly) plotting series C, and series B, whose line stops where there is no more data.

What I need to do now is replace those empty cells with a formula like the one above. Ie, IF(ISBLANK(x1),<null>, <formula>), but using IF(ISBLANK(x1),"", <formula>) doesn't make the line on my graph stop.

Excel 2003 :: How To Ignore Zero Values When Plotting A Graph

Feb 15, 2005

Using Excel 2003. I have a data range for a graph. The values in the cells are the results of a simple If function - If(m28>0,n28,0). The results are taken from a larger data input exercise. But, the graph line (a simple graph!) plots the FALSE value (0) when I would like there to really be no value & hence no plotted point if the result is FALSE.

Excel 2010 :: Plotting Values V1 / V2 / V3 And V4 According To Given Date And Condition

Mar 25, 2014

Excel Version : MS Excel 2010
Attachment filename : <Forum to plot the values.xls>

My requirement is i want to plot the values V1, V2, V3 and V4 from the given condition (A1 / A2 / A3 / A4) and the given date.

If the given date is not available then the formula should take the older date than it not next date. For example if the given date is 10-Mar-14 and the date is not available for the given condition then it should take the older / earlier dates like 09-Mar-14 or 08-Mar-14 like and it should not take 11-Mar-14, 12-Mar-14.

The values should be plotted in the yellow cells.

IF AND Function For Multiple Cells With Three Displayed Values

Oct 11, 2011

I'm currently working on a test matrix that has high level and mid level test cases. The High level results cell is tracking all mid level test cases below it. If all mid level test cases are displayed as "Pass" then the High level test cases displays "PASS". If any of the mid level test cases is not displayed as "PASS" then the High level test case result is displayed as "FAIL" However, "PASS" and "FAIL" do not accurately represent the status of the test cases in the instance of them not being filled out. Mid Level test cases start off in the "Select Result" state which basically says it that test has not been performed. I would like to have a third value displayed as "NOT COMPLETED" or "IN PROGRESS". Below is the current formula that I am using.

=IF(AND(C50="Pass",C51="Pass", C52="Pass", C53="Pass", C54="Pass", C55="Pass", C56="Pass"),"PASS","FAIL")

On thing to keep in mind that may or may not make a difference is that one of the High level test cases has 30 mid level test cases and from my understanding, IF / AND function only allows up to 30 logic inputs (not sure if that is the correct terminology or correct at all).

Function: Returned Values To Be Entered Into Different Cells In A Column

Jun 20, 2006

I am trying to write a formula that will look at an array (containing text strings) and then for each occurrence of a particular value return the text string from another cell in another column but which matches the row of the occurring value. I would prefer all returned values to be entered into different cells in a column but I would be happy if they were all in one cell separated by a comma or whatever.

Data Plotting

May 13, 2008

how do I plot the axis data in my graph in an increasing order, when I have my datas in a random order?

In other words, I have bunch of data to be plotted as my x-axis. All numbers are within [0;1], but they all in a random order, like (0.001, 0.923, 0.120, ...). And I want them to be in an increasing order.

Plotting Data With 35 Points?

Jan 25, 2014

I have a data for sedimentation along a pipe. I measured sediment concentrations at different lengths of the pipe, after different intervals of time. So I have 35 concentration values, take at 5 different points along the pipe, at 7 different times. Is it possible to plot a chart with these 35 points, with depth on y-axis, time on x-axis? These 35 points are percent removals (0-100). .

Plotting On Scatter Graph

Jul 15, 2009

We have a special testing machine in the lab I work in, and it measures reflectivity from reflective vests etc. A special instrument takes a reflective reading and reports back a X and Y value which is used then as a co-ordinate and gets plotted on a graph.

The machine measures for 8 colours, and takes four readings, so for example the first color will be Flourescent Yellow. and then it produces 4 "X,Y" readings, which get plotted onto a graph, and joins all 4 points to create a box as shown in the link >> Graph with joined plots

This is a small capture of the spreadsheet with the values >> spreadsheet

Basically, I need to know how to take the values in columns X and Y, and then make it plot onto a graph as one point, and then join the four points for that one colour,

end result being the grapgh will have upto 8 boxes on it.

Plotting Question - Play Y1 And Y2 Against X

Oct 4, 2007

I have the following data in excel (just an example):

X | Y1 | Y2
-3 | 9 | 1
-2 | 4 |
-1 | 1 | 1.5
0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1.5
2 | 4 |
3 | 9 | 1

I want to play Y1 and Y2 against X. Y2 does not appear on the chart because it's not continuous. I would like to plot Y1 (as a continuous graph) and a Y2 as dots (or scattered as excel lables it).

Plotting And Formulas Using Nulls

Feb 24, 2009

I want to calculate various quantities from a set of data and I also want to plot the same data. When I have empty cells in the y-value range, but a value in the x-value range, I do not want these to be plotted, however, unless I insert a #N/A into the empty cell, excel plots them, even if you uncheck the option under Tools->Options->Chart, I guess because there is still an x-value.

I wanted to be able to post an example worksheet, but I'm not allowed to post attachments. Basically as I need to do a lot of these plots for different data sets, I don't want to individually have to tailor each one to account for the empty cells. The only solution I have found so far is to have one column that has blank cells, on which I use functions like Slope() and Intercept(), then I have another cell that has the formula
=IF(D36="",#N/A,D36)

this column is then used as the y-values to plot from, as this prevents excel from plotting them (if I were to use the #N/A column in the functions, I would just get #N/A returned). I then hide the column with #N/As in and allow the chart to plot from hidden columns. This seems ridiculously complicated for such a simple requirement,

Plotting Graph With Text On X Axis

Mar 27, 2014

There is probably a really simple solution to this, but I have a column 'A' of data, with various numbers, and a column of data 'B' with letters from A to Z. However when I try and plot this on a scatter graph, the x axis uses numbers rather than letters, with data points all over the place?? I'd like the X axis to have the letters A to Z, and the data to stack up vertically when there is a few different numbers correpdoing to 1 letter. Specifically, a scatter graph

Plotting 3 Sets Of Different Dates On Same Chart?

Jan 17, 2014

I have 3 different series: S, J, and D. Each series has a list of different dates, and I need to plot the results for each date, while comparing the 3 series. I have created 3 different charts to display the results for each series - list of dates. However, I'd really like to chart all 3 series on one chart, so that you can see how the 3 compare.

I believe my obstacle is that the list of dates are not consistent between the 3. I tried to get around this by creating one table with all the dates, and leaving blanks where necessary (on Sheet 2). However, this created a problem because the blanks showed on the charts as 0s.

Plotting More Than 2 Value In Y Axis On Pivot Table

Oct 12, 2011

I have a need to present 2 sets of values on the Y ( vertical ) axis but the Scales differ appreciably. I 'd like to know how can I present these so that I can appreciate the changes in both these values.

E.g. X fn of A B ( Y axis )

When I plot X against A & B because B has a HUGE range , variations in A appear minuscule. How can I address this scaling problem so that pictorially I can appreciate both changes in A and B against X.

Is there is Way to Plot A and B on different Y axis like one is on the LHS Y axis and other one on the RHS Y axis .
This is a PIVOT chart using data from another worksheet.
