I'm playing around with Markdown and have a question about it:
I want to work with labels. For example:
In the third column there are two labels. I would like to use these, depending on the priority. If the task is Low, then the High label must be removed. I am only missing the small x to remove the label.
What am i doing wrong?

I am kind of a newbie with Excel, so asking this question here. I have already checked some videos but the examples do not fit my need, so I am wondering if this is even possible.
I have a line chart with 10 data points, and for each data point I am currently using a built-in dot marker. The data values can go from 1 to 5, which corresponds to a net promoting score where 1 is "extremely satisfied" and 5 is "extremely satisfied": I would like to have an emoticon to represent each value, e.g. sad face for 1 and happy face for 5, and have this in a systematic way, so that every chart I generate will have these custom markers displayed depending on the value.
I would go with:
having a separate sheet with a table containing the values and the related images (not sure if this is even possible)
creating some sort of magic formula to link the data value to the image
apply the magic formula to the charts
Is this approach correct? Is this even possible?
Thank you.
I have a table of data similar to this:
I want to create a bar chart like this:
But I get this:
or, when I add major gridlines, I get this:
However, I want a quick way to visually differentiate between the different quarters (Q1... Q4) by shading them with a different background color each or marking a border around them.
I don't want to export the chart as an image and edit it because:
1. This is a weekly report, it would be very repetitive and error prone.
2. It would be time consuming when I need to do it for 100s of records.
3. My manager prefers the data and the chart to be sent as part of the report. Hence, changing it to other formats is not possible.
Is it possible to create such a graph using Excel 2010? If so, how? I don't mind writing a macro for this, but am currently lost on the approach.
If you want to do something like this:
It's a bit tricky, but can be done. First you must add a fourth data series so you have the data like this:
Then you have to put the three "real" data series in the secondary axis. You must set the maximum values both in secondary and primary axes to the same value (30 in my example). Next, you delete the secondary axis. And finally, in the fourth series settings you let it overlap and put the separation to zero. Sorry, I don't know the exact english name of the settings, as my Excel is not in english.
I have come across this several times and I was wondering if it is possible at all.
Let's say I have 3 columns, one with numerical values, one with time values and a third column with text (1-3 words). I then create a graph with the numerical values (y axis) and the time (x axis). When I then hover over the individual data points on the graph it shows me their numerical values. Is there a way to also show the text associated with that value?
To put it in context, I am plotting noise values for a day and would love to hover over the graph, in particular the peaks and then have a text appear that tells me what the noise was related too, what noise source (e.g. airplane, truck etc).
Is this possible? I was thinking of maybe plotting a second axis for the comments and maybe just plot them all at the same y value but then I am still left with the question on how to display the text comment?
Any ideas?
Cheers

Tushar Mehta has an add-in for that here
It has been tested for Excel 97 to 2002, which are all pretty old versions.
The charting engine has changed completely fromexcel-2007, and the menus have gone, so chances are that this tool may no longer work.
I have not seen anything like this done in more recent Excel versions. Probably because it is not an easy task to achieve.
Following the provided example I built a function that draws a box plot to a jQuery accordion tab, which has a certain fixed height & width. The amount of distinct categories varies greatly depending on the incoming data. Currently I'd like to achieve the following in the plotting:
1) Add axes and display labels, like in this picture
2) Always fit the boxes to container width and height. Currently I see that if there are too many categories, some of them end on the second row, ensuring they're not fully seen. In the picture, the div contains 7 boxes but only 4 fit on one row:
The question is how can these two be implemented? I couldn't even figure out a way to reliably reduce the padding between the boxes without eating into the side numbers on the boxes.
I adopted the original d3.js example to include axes:

Instead of using individual svg elements as in Mike's implementation, here all boxplots are rendered with in one root element. This makes it easy to add axes.
Best,

For the time being I'm using a hack found at Highcharts forum (jsfiddle here). There's also a box plot implementation made with Raphael.js that looks cool (github, example)
I am facing this difficulty :
I want to indicate where my user is in a range of data in a chart, as well as where the average is.
That's not too difficult, that part I figured out already :)
However, if I have several charts in 1 report, my "user bar'" sometimes gets a different color, according whether it's below or above average.
This is very confusing for my users, because they can't think, let's say, "the yellow bar is always me".
The legend always has to be read, and that's not so user-friendly.
I'll illustrate the problem in an attachment.
I know how to have the same series color, but within this series, I want 1 particular color to always represent the value of the average, another to represent my user, etc.
Is this possible ?!
Thanks a lot in advance.

EDIT: I'm working with the ChartCustomizer now :
BarRenderer renderer = (BarRenderer) chart.getCategoryPlot().getRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.blue);
renderer.setSeriesPaint(1, Color.yellow);
renderer.setSeriesPaint(2, Color.green);
renderer.setSeriesPaint(3, Color.red);
Still, this handles the series in the order they arrive from the resultset.
What I'm looking for is how I can use the series expression (as entered in 'series expression' field in the categorie series dialogue), instead of fixed indexes like 0-3.
I would suggest checking whether the sequence of your series is same in both the chart's chart data, plus color series in chart properties is also or not.
If it is same than it should print same.
