Dynamic (?) chart
I have a variety of data lists (production levels, sales, labour costs) that are calculated and combined into a summary table for my production mgmt to review. The lookups etc. are based on a date range entered on this table; they enter the start and end dates into different cells which returns totals for the categories to the table. I would like to graph results per day defined by the date range that they are looking at. The source for the graph is another table that collects all the info from the data tables and totals them per day. I need the graph to select data from that list starting at the date used to collect data for the table until the end date selected. I have considered LOOKUP and INDIRECT and MATCH type functions but can't fathom how to have a chart be dynamic with differeing start and end points. Is this even possible? -- Hooligan

How to label frequency in Excel Chart
Hi, guys I tried to make a scatter plot in Excel. The issue is that there are repeated data points. For example, (x,y) style (1,3.4), (2,5.5), (2,5.5), (3, 9.9), (3,9.9), (4,23.0)... Can I add a related frequency number around the corresponding data point? Thank you for your help! Ming ...
Chart Colors
This one's got me stumped. I just officiated a test, and would like to make a chart showing 3 different pieces of information: 1. The person's name shown horizontally <---> 2. The person's score shown vertically | 3. The person's exposure time to the subject, shown by the color of their bar (ex: green = brand new / black = very experienced, with shades in between) I know there is a conditional formatting function that does this for cells, but is there any function that is able to do this for charts, or do I simply have to go through and hand-pick the colo...
how do i create 4 pie charts
Hi, Could I enquire if someone could show me the steps to create 4 pie charts in diagram (1 pie chart representing one calendar year)? How do I modify the different size of the pie chart? Thanks a lot. Hi, A chart can only contain a single Pie chart so you will need to create 4 charts. If you create chartobjects these can be embedded in a worksheet or a blank chart sheet. To adjust the size you can alter the plot area. You don't mention what you are using to determine the size of the pie but this page may be of use. http://www.andypope.info/charts/piesizer.htm Cheers Andy Mik...
Displaying symbols in charts with tables
I am trying to create a chart of percentages with the data table displayed with the dhart in Excel 2003. The problem is that I have some symbols in the table (e.g., <1%), which when charted are treated as text and simply show up as a zero in the data table. I would appreciate any suggestions for getting these symbols to appear correctly in the data table displayed with the chart. Thanks! -Aaron jageorge, Unfortunately, you have very little control over the data tables that appear as an option. You can get around this limitation by using worksheet cells as a data table.

Unruly chart
I am charting monthly call volumes in a line graph in which I have 7 series (a different line of business). Each series takes 12 cells of data, corresponding to each month of the year, which I have in a different worksheet. Usually I can hit Control and individually click the different cells so that they are all included in the Values, but for some reason this time, I get to the 10th month and it won't let me click on the cell. I click one more time and it starts me over, erasing the previous 9 cells that I have clicked on. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it? ...

Efficiently Generate 88 New Chart Sheets
Gang, I've got a simple X*Y chart with year (1977-present) on the x-axis and an estimate of deer population size on the y-axis (actually, there may ultimately be 2 estimates/series).

Trendline equation in chart is wrong
I'm having trouble plugging the equation from the trendline of a chart back into the Worksheet to get calculated interpolated values. In essence, I added a 4th order polynomial regression line to an X-Y chart, and then used the displayed equation in the worksheet, working off the X values to get the Y values for the regression curve. It doesn't work. The calculated values are way, way off (several orders of magnitude). I tried it again, lopping off 977 from the plotted Y values, in case dealing with large numbers was causing problems. Again, no joy. I came across an earlier thread desc...
