Whilst I have been able to specify that blank series (rows) are not plotted, the Marker still displays in the Data Table, even though there is no corresponding data. Is there a way to specify that blank series should not display the Marker in the Data Table? Thanks, Kim -- Kim in Melb
  • 3. comparison line graph help needed
    I am trying to chart two sets of data on one chart. The data sets will come from sheets within the same spreadsheet. Both sets use dates, but they might be different dates, so I'd like to have the x axis show consecutive dates (e.g 1-1-10 through 1-31-10) The y axis in both cases will be time of day. I want to display time by hourly increments for 24 hours on this axis. I want the chart to show times medication is administered (from sheet 1) and times a specific event occurs (from sheet 2) I have been trying for hours and getting nowhere. I generally chart using bars, but did not think this would be so different. Help, please. Val
  • 4. Dynamic chart- curve dropping to zero ( chart type- Line)
    Hi all i using following formula and description for the dynamic chart. Please do the needful In B1 = Project start date , C1= Mar-10 In B2= Project duration , C2= 30 ( which may vary) In B3= Project Cost , C3= 10000000 In C6=+IF(ROW()-ROW(C$6)+1<=C$2,DATE(YEAR(C$1),MONTH(C$1)+ROW()-ROW(C$6),DAY(C$1)),"") Till C50 In D5=IF(OR(B6="",B6=0),"",B6/$C$2) till d50 In e5=IF(OR(D6="",D6=0),"",IF(D6<=33.33%,(($I$1*D6^2)*100),IF(D6<=66.67%,($I$2*D6+$I$3),IF(D6>=66.67%,($I$4+$I$5*D6+$I$6*D6^2)*100,"")))), till E50 In f5= IF(OR(B6="",B6=0),"",E6*$C$3), till F50 The problem i am facing is when i select the data for the chart ( C6:C50and F5: F50) depending upon the value in C2 the curve will show but after that curve drops to 0 , I don't want curve to drop 0 depend upon the value in C2

Help with "clusters" of plotted data

Postby TWFyc2hhbGw » Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:45:01 GMT 

I've been looking everywhere and I cannot seem to find a solution to my 
problem.  I have data in my spreadsheet that is 'test' data from a lab.  The 
lab doesn't generate data over weekends/holidays, so I'll have a bunch of 
data points from M-F dates, but then there is a gap in days then the data 
starts flowing again.

10-2-2009     
10-5-2009
10-6-2009
10-7-2009
10-8-2009
10-9-2009
10-12-2009

When I plot this data using the X-Y graph (my situation isn't conducive to 
using a line graph), I'll have clusters of 5 days worth of data...a 2 day gap 
on the x-axis for the weekend and then another cluster.  I want to have the 
sequential data points connected by a line and not have a line across the 
data gaps.

Is there a way to do this?

In your data range, list every date, and keep the cells next to weekend 
dates empty. By default, Excel skips empty cells in a line or XY chart, 
leaving a gap.

Note that a formula that returns "" is not empty, because the cell 
contains a formula.

1.Data available for plotting vs already plotted data 

Hello --

This charting application has the following features:

1 - user can "import" a time series (into a set of columns in a worksheet);
the app automatically adds a plot of the data to the chart

2 - user can delete from the chart a series which was plotted in 1; the
source data is not deleted from the worksheet which holds it

3 - user can decide later to add to the chart a series deleted in 2

Problem:
I want to present in a listbox the names/legends of the "imported but not
plotted" series so the user can select one for 3

If I could use SQL in this app, the source for the listbox would look
something like:

SELECT name_Imported FROM tblImported
WHERE name_Imported NOT IN (SELECT name_Plotted FROM tblPlotted)

Each "tbl..." would be a range in one of the application's worksheets, and
filled by a process I don't know how to code.

Can anyone suggest how to populate such a listbox?

Thanks for any help.

Larry Mehl
