See image for what I have going on
So the red column will at some point, which is different every day, change from 20 to 50. The start cell up top uses that lookup formula to find when this is. So for this example it is 10/11/16 14:37. I want to graph the green and blue columns, starting at that cell time and ending at the end time (which is just a max() of the times to get the end time).
I've looked into offset and name manager but I am really confused on those. Either using VBA or something else to change the graph (on a different sheet) to start at whatever that start time is would be awesome.
You can try the following:
In the column AL set, in each cell, the value to be defined by the following formula
AL1 = IF(AI1<50,0,1)
AL2 and following = IF(AL1=1,1,IF(AI2<50,0,1))
Then define each AM to be AL*AK, and plot AM.

I have an automated pareto chart working well in Excel.
I want to change it to check if points in the cumulative percentage series have a value of less than 80% and colour the same number point in the count series if this is the case.
Tried this; doesn't throw any errors but also doesn't work.
I think it should be iterating through a list of values, checking if they are <80 then updating the point at the corresponding i in the count series.
Set percVals = paretoChart.Chart.SeriesCollection(percentSeries).Values
For Each i in percVals
If percVals(i) = <80 Then
With paretoChart.Chart.SeriesCollection(countSeries).Points(i)
.Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0,0,225)
.Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0,0,225)
End With
End If
Next i
The "paretoChart" variable is set earlier in the code and is working fine throughout.
I've tried without the 'with' statement. No difference.
There is a similar question comparing the two values across series, but I don't think I can adapt that to work here. Any ideas appreciated!
I have a UserForm that finds and copies a range of data and pastes it along with new data from the UserForm into a different sheet. I am wanting for it to also count the number of times some of that data is repeated in the new sheet. I have tried several different approches but none are working. Right now this is what I have:
.Range("I1").Value = iVal = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A3:A103"), "CrisisNameTextBox1.Value")
This puts "TRUE" in the corresponding cell instead of the number of times the data is repeated.
You probably could use this function in the corresponding cell:
=COUNTIF( [range], [cell] )
The [range] is the range you want to check (use $ to make sure its value does not change from one cell to another)
The [cell] is the cell you are currently checking.
Assign the function to the cells you want and it should work
If you want to drag/copy this formula from one cell to an other : use the $ character to lock the coordinates you don't want to be changed. I.e :
$A1 Will prevent the column from being changed, but will allow the row
A$1 Will prevent the row from being changed, but will allow the column
$A$1 Will prevent both coordinates from being changed
The same applies to ranges ($A1:$F15, $A1:F1, $A$1:F15, A1:$F15, etc.)
In reference to the picture below, I would like to loop through a certain column (Column D in this case) until I hit a specific cell (Yellow cells in this case). In my final spreadsheet I have multiple yellow cells that I would like to target. Once I hit a yellow cell, I would like to start a simple summation of the values one cell to the left of the yellow (Column C). I would like to keep summing the values until I hit a blank cell, which would indicate the end of the set.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification!
Here's some code that should get the job done. However you are going to have to adapt it to however you want to use it.
Dim Summation as Double
For Each Target in Range("D:D")
If Target.Interior.ColorValue = 6 Then
Summation = Summation + Target.Offset(0, -1).Value
End If
Next Target
I hope this helps. However, don't forget about FreeMan's suggestions about good question asking and using the macro recorder!
I'm not sure this is possible but thought this was the best place to ask.
Is it posible to get the position of a series value on a graph in excel?
For example, if I have a line graph in excel that has time along the x axis, is it possible to (using VBA) get the position of a specific point on that axis.
What I am trying to do is have a vertical line that is can be positioned based on a date entered by the user.
like this
Where the green line could be positioned by entering in a date (rather than just being manually moved) (or also it could be set to automatically move to the current date etc).
I was then thinking that if the position is on the graph is queryable, then I can just access the line object and move it to any position I wanted through VBA.
Any Ideas? or is this just not possible?
The "cleanest" way to do this is to add the line to the chart as a new series. In that way, Excel handles all of the positioning and your work is simplified. To get a vertical line on a chart, there are a number of options. I prefer this route:
Create a small 2x2 area with two dates and two values
Add in the date or x-axis value you want the line at (E3 in image). You can use =TODAY() here or some manually entered value.
Set the second x-axis value equal to the first
Use MAX and MIN on the data to get the values for each date. You can also use 0 and 1 and a secondary axis, but I think MAX/MIN is easier.
Add the data to the chart and format as a marker with straight line.
Formulas
E3: =TODAY()
E4: =E3
F3: =MIN(C3:C27)
F4: =MAX(C3:C27)
Result and chart data series for vertical line
This is my first time using this forum, and my VBA skill is not very well developed. I hope someone can help.
I have two columns of data, Column A and Column B.
Column A - Returns a sequential "month-year" or 0. If spreadsheet current date (=now()) is less than say Feb, then the cell for February returns 0.
Column B - I want this column to check each cell in Column A. If Column A cell has a date identifier, I want this to be placed in Column B. If Column A has a 0 identifier, I want Column B to return an "empty" cell.
Reason why I am doing this is I am graphing a bar chart. When I trick the program into making an empty cell (x-axis) the graph does not show any data for that month (which is what I want). Trying to make a dynamic graph, but I have no experience in VBA (only C programming =/).
You don't need VBA (or even formulas) to do this.
Highlight Column A (the entire column), copy it.
Highlight Column B (the entire column, right click, Paste Special, select values and number formats, okay.
Highlight Column B again. Press Ctrl+H, Type 0 (or failing that it might be 00/01/1900) in the 'find what', leave the 'replace with' one blank. Tick Match entire cell contents. Click replace all.
Done.
Instead of trying for an empty space (which would be impossible, as there's a formula in that cell), use an error condition.
Use this formula, and copy down:
=IF(A1=0,NA(),A1)
This will return the error condition #NA! and Excel will leave the column blank
The other way would be to have a dynamic range for the chart data - I have a chart that will adjust to 5,6 or 7 days, depending on the data returned for the week. The Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels is set to a named range (='Sample.xlsx'!LastWeekRange) and the range checks the data, and returns the appropriate number of cells.
LastWeekRange is defined in Name Manager as =OFFSET(Data!$A$3,0,0,IF(Data!$F$9>0,7,IF(Data!$F$8>0,6,5))), which returns A3:A7 if there's nothing in F8, A3:A8 if there is something in F8 but not in F9, and A3:A9 if there is something in F9.
