Changing Chart Properties Using .chart - Excel |
|
This VBA creates a chart on each worksheet in the workbook, can anyone please tell me how to change the background of the chart from gray to white and the color of series 2 from pink (the default for a second series I presume) to green? Also is there a list anywhere of all chart properties that you can change using .chart?
Code:
Sub ChartYearComparison() Dim WS As Worksheet Dim Rng As Range Dim Rng1 As Range For Each WS In Worksheets Set Rng = WS.Range("A200:C213") Set Rng1 = WS.Range("A11:L21") With WS.ChartObjects.Add _ (Left:=Rng1.Left, Width:=Rng1.Width, Top:=Rng1.Top, Height:=Rng1.Height) .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=WS.Range("A200:C213") .Chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered .Chart.HasTitle = True .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = WS.Range("A2") & " Occurences" .Chart.SeriesCollection(2).ChartType = xlLine End With Next WS End Sub

include/exclude one of the series to see how the chart changes, all the
colors change and we have to spend time re-identifying which series is
which, using the legend to check the colors.
Is there a way to "lock" the colors, so that the bars stay the same colors
regardless of whether other bars are included/excluded?
Thanks!

When I create a bar chart, the bars are horizontal. I want the chart bars to be vertical. It tried to rotate the chart so that it is vertical, but the "rotate" options are greyed out.
How do I get those bars vertical?
I'm really hoping someone can help me with this...
I need to plot percentages over time in a line graph in excel. I don't want to have to do a percentage equation in the spreadsheet, I just want excel to take two sets of values and display the percentage in the chart. For example, I need B1 as a percentage of B2 for week 1, C1 as a percentage of C2 for week 2, etc....
Can someone please offer a suggestion for how to do this? I would really appreciate it.
Also, would it be possible to link data from other sheets in the workbook into one single chart?
As the title goes this is as simple as it gets. The macro worked good when I was using excel 2003 but now that I have 2007 everything works for except the resizing (Picture.Width & Picture. Height).
Code:
Sub AddImage() Dim strPath As String Dim strFile As String Dim Picture As Object Dim Response As String Dim C As Range strPath = "C:\\Photos\" For Each C In Range("A1", Range("A65536").End(xlUp)) If C 0 Then With C.Offset(0, 1) Set Picture = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set Picture = Sheets("Raw Pix").Pictures.Insert(strPath & C.Value & ".jpg") Picture.Top = .Top Picture.Left = .Left Picture.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue Picture.Width = 157 Picture.Height = 138 End With End If NextC: Next C End Sub
I have tried to record some macros while I am resizing the pictures but to no avail the macros are blank.
Please help
Thanks!
I have a worksheet that is locked and protected now, except for cells in a certain collumn. I have named the cells in that column "MS96A".
If a user enters a date in a cell or range of cells anywhere in the column, the changed cells also need to be locked and protected (Once they enter a date, it is not allowed EVER to be changed again. Corporate requirement! *Shrug*).
What I am looking for is this. If the user selects that cell again, they will get the usual pop-up message, "The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected..."
I think I am close, but I am getting an "End If without block If" error on the If Clause.
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim MRange As Range
Set MRange = Range("MS96A")
' If Not Intersect(Target, MRange) Is Nothing Then For Each cell In MRange Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="temp"
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
cell.Font.Color = vbBlack
Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Next cell
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="temp", _
DrawingObjects:=False, _
Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=False
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
End Sub
Is there a way to have the Min and Max values adjusted dynamically for the Scale of the values being displayed ??
I know that I can use named ranges to display various sections of data -- month by month, or quarter by quarter, for example.
But when the value of these ranges vary greatly from section to section I end of having to manually go and adjust the Min and Max values of the chart scale.
For example, if I was looking at a graph of the S&P 500's prices last November, a Min and Max range of 750 to 1200 would be fine. But if I had a dynamic range established and scrolled over to view the S&P 500's prices for this past February, I would need a Min and Max range of around 650 to 850.
Is there a way to have these Min & Max values adjust automatically depending on the values being displayed ??
Thanks

my text entries are rather lengthy. The past two weeks these lengthy entries
are showing up as pound signs (#########) when I click off the cell. I know
the text will fit in the cell, and the problem isn't solved by making the
cell bigger or using a little bit less text. I have the cells formatted as
"text" and "wrap to fit". I have printed the pages and the printed version
also has pound signs. I just want my text to show up!
The code works, but it really slows my worksheet down when opening. Is there better way to write this? Thanks!
Code:
Dim myRange As Range Dim cell As Range Set myRange = Range("V6:V50000") For Each cell In myRange If cell.Value < 2 Then cell.Font.ColorIndex = 5 If cell.Value < 1 Then cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 Next
Firstly i haven't used excel to a great extent since my college days. So i'm having to re-learn 99.9% of everything i once new...
I am volunteering for a non profit organization and trying to create a reservation system for the rooms that they have - kind of like hotel software, but in excel (i did a similiar thing in college but for plane seats)
Please find it attached.
What i need it to do:
Copy all of the info from the main page to the guest lit (a new row each time).
From the guest list to the Gannt chart - i did a few tutorials on dynamic gantt charts using conditional formatting but cannot get them to work when based on data on a different worksheet.
Finaly is there a way to check for availabilty on any given date?
if just someone could point me in the right direction, i would be appreciate it so much words can't express!!!
Best Regards,
Jamie
P.S for the calender drop down on the main page, i'm using 'microsoft time & date picker 6.0)

I have set up a workbook that is sent out to lots of different users. They each keep and use their own copy.
I have set it up so that everything looks OK and is visible on MY screen, but I'm conscious that some users may have different screen sizes, different toolbars set up, and so on, which might make some parts not immediately visible to them.
I have set up an auto-execute macro which automatically sets the zoom factor to best fit, for several of the worksheets, and this works fine.
Here's the code that does it.
Code:
Sheets("WELCOME").Select Range("A1:N18").Select ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
By repeating this code for each worksheet, I can make each one be zoomed just right.
However, the file contains 8 sheets that are all identically laid out, except the number of rows is different.
What I want to do is go to the worksheet that has the largest number of rows (it's always the same worksheet, so I know which one it is), set the zoom factor for THAT worksheet (which I can do, and it always has the same number of rows), and then take THAT zoom factor, whatever it is - and it will vary depending on the user - and apply that to the other worksheets that have a similar layout.
I could just go through each worksheet and zoom it automatically, but that would mean that some of the sheets looked very large, others very small, and I'd like them to have a consistent appearance.
I could also specify a range on each worksheet that was similar to the appropriate range on the longest worksheet, and zoom that automatically, but that's not ideal either, because some of the row heights vary from sheet to sheet, and again I'll end up with different font sizes.
Anyone know how to do this ?
All of the buttons were working fine. Then I saved and closed the workbook and went to lunch. Now when I open the workbook, the buttons don't work! When I click them nothing happens. They appear frozen. They don't even seem to click. No error message. Nothing.
If I right-click the button in Design Mode and select Properties, I get sheet properties not the button properties. I can't seem to locate the command button properties any longer. I still see the button name "cmdButtonGetInfo" and "=EMBED("Forms.CommandButton.1","") in the name box and formula bar. The odd thing is if I create a new button it works fine until I save and close the file. When I reopen the file none of the buttons work.
It's like the buttons are being disabled when I close or open the file. Any suggestions?
Then Paste My answer in "AM1"
This is what I have so far and for some reason is not working.
Code:
myRange = ActiveSheet.Range("H2", Range("H2").End(xlDown)) Range("AM1") = WorksheetFunction.Sum(myRange)
Any Ideas?
Per say here is what I am trying to do
If a certain "word" is used from the drop down list I want the background of
that cell to change its color to "green." And if later I change the "word" to
another from the drop down list, it will change it's color to a specified
color.
The drop down list that I use was created from cells that have the colors
already in the "word", but I do not know how to make the list show the colors
so it puts the word & color automatically in the drop down list to the cell
with the drop down (if that makes any sense).
If there is a way, please spell it out simple enough for me to understand,
as I don't know fully the capabilities of formulas or vba.
I am using below code to Select the Visible rows in the target range:
Code:
Range("A:p").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Problems in this code a
1) after applying the filter, while selecting the data it is selecting all the rows in given range till last row on the workbook. I need this to select the the data only till the last used row in the given range.
2) It is not possible to provide the address of the first row after we apply the filter since the first row address may change depending on the values in the table.
E.g. 1st time when I am running the macro the first row in the visible filtered data is starting at Cell address A4 and next time when I will run the macro it may be A6
3) The Code is also selecting the 1st row which is a header row. How can we exclude it from selection.
Some one please revert with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Code:
Range("Activecell.End(xlDown)", "Active.End(xlToRight)").Select
This is definately a problem of not knowing the right jargon to do so.
Could someone please assist?
Thanks in advance!

Code:
Sub Button1_Click() Set UserForm1.combobox1.List = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("MyRange") UserForm1.Show End Sub
I am very new to vba, so please excuse my ignorance,
