I am trying to recreate a graph like this one in Excel
I feel the "doughnut" type is the most appropriate - but I can't figure out how to get the graph to display just half a circle. Does the feature exist at all in Excel (which I assume) or what would be the best way to do?
In your data, make the "total" of everything part of the chart's source data, which would make the total be half the total pie chart. Then go to chart format, rotate first slice 270° to get the total on the bottom, then change the fill color to "no fill" for the total, and it will essentially look like a half circle chart. Now, in the legend (if visible), click on "total" and delete it from the legend.

I need to create a graph that properly represents the profit-maximizing model of aircraft in different scenarios. I apologize in advance for my lack of understanding in what exactly to call it. As mentioned, I have found the type of graph that would best represent this, but cannot figure out how to code/create it. I have tried using Excel and Think-Cell (and either one of them may work, I just haven't figured out how) and haven't had much luck. The image below represents the ideal graph, linked here:
Does anyone have any idea how to best go about this? Thanks in advance.
Edit: The data I have now looks like this, linked here:
You need to use the data to generate a Stacked Column chart.
Here is how I set up my own example data (before you posted your own data format):
Next, select all rows and only the first four columns of the data (42R x 5C) and Insert-->Charts-->2D Column-->Stacked Column. You should get a chart like this:
Then change the vertical axis options to show Bounds Min=1.0, Max=4.0, Units Major=0.2, Minor=0.1.
Next, select any of the data series in the chart and format the Series Options for Series Overlap=100%, Gap Width=0%.
After that, I deleted the Title and Legend, set the Line Style for both Axis to Solid Fill, Black Color. Then I changed the data series colors to be close to your example. Lastly, make sure the chart is selected (the border is highlighted with the squares at the corners), then Insert a TextBox over your data and type "B747-200P2F" and manually place it over the correct data area. Repeat this for the other series and you get this:
Finally, we'll work on the Jet Fuel price line. This series will be added to the chart, then plotted on the secondary axis and it's chart type changed to Line.
To start, select only the Jet Fuel price column (F1:F42) and then copy that range into the clipboard. Then, make sure the chart is selected and, from the Home ribbon, select Paste Special. Use the default settings, or choose Add cells as New Series, Values (Y) in Columns, check Series Names in First Row, uncheck Categories (X Labels) in First Column, then click OK. (Not much will seem different on the chart yet!)
The next steps are important to take in order (at least for me). Select only the "Jet Fuel Price" series and change the Series Options to Plot on Secondary Axis. Then change the axis options to set the range from 1.0 to 4.0 and set labels to None. Just so we're tracking, here's what I have so far:
The (almost) final step is to select only the "Jet Fuel Price" series again, then right click it and choose Change Series Chart Type. Make sure you select the Combo chart type and make the selections for each of the series chart types as indicated in this picture:
Now (finally!) just add another textbox, put in your label and set the text color to red.
All,
I have a donut chart that indicates widgets that passed inspection as a percentage over total widgets (passed and failed). What I am trying to do is add some kind of conditional formatting to the ring segment that shows percentage of widgets that passed inspection, based on the percentage of widgets that actually passed inspection, such that the whole segment is either red if less than 75% passed, yellow if up to 90% passed, and green if over 90%
All,
Just thought I'd let you know I found a way to accomplish this. First, I created a column chart for widgets and for my different color schemes (such that we would have a clustered column chart with two clusters). Then, I set the widgets passed column chart to a secondary axis.
Next, I changed the chart type of both axis to a donut chart (note, donut charts do not let you set a secondary axis directly, which is why we have to do this in a column chart or line chart first).
Next, for the data series representing the different colors, I used the formulas =if([passed]>=.9,1,0), =if([passed]>=.75,1-R[-1]C,0), and 1-sum(R[-2]C:R[-1]C) to fill the values for the ring on the primary axis that is to represent different colors.
After this, it was simply a matter of adjusting the formatting on the primary and secondary axis, making the [passed] ring segment transparent, and using 1-[passed] to calculate a failed segment of widgets.
I hope that made sense to anyone else trying to accomplish this, but let me know if any questions (or if you have done this before and have a better way to explain, fill free to edit this).
I have several graphs linked to a data template - The data in the template changes depending on the selected business unit.
I have approximately 50 categories in the data template linked to a pie chart and depending on the unit selected I could therefore have anything from 0-50 categories shown as a percentage in my pie chart.
What I want to do is only show categories with a value over 2% in my pie.
So, I have used the 'pie of pie' function to make the cut at 2% but I do not want to see the second pie at all.
How do I hide all the values and data labels in the pie of pie chart? Ie Can I use formatting in the pie of pie chart to hide values between 0-2%?
I have searched for a solution to this but only come accross answers on how to hide zero values:
Example: Format Data Labels, Number, Format Code: 0%;;; OR 0%;[White][=0]General;General
I need a solution to this that does not involve changing my original data (ie I do not want to group my categories under 2% into an 'other' category in my data template as the categories will change depending on the unit selected)
Any advice?
I know this is a late answer but was looking for this myself and just figured it out.. First format the second pie so that each slice has no fill (becomes invisible), to speed this up just set the first slice to no fill and then highlight each slice and select F4 to repeat last action. Next select any slice from the main chart and hit CTRL+1 to bring up the Series Option window, here set the gap width to 0% (this will centre the main pie as much as possible) and set the second plot size to 5% (which is the minimum it will allow), and you have made your second pie invisible!
Im using Excel for Mac 2011 and I have the following figure
I would like to still show the bubbles outside of the available chart area, while keeping the maximum and minimum axes values unchanged.
Create an identical chart with the same data, but with axis limits that show the full bubbles. Then set all the formatting in the chart other than the bubbles to the equivalent of "none", i.e, no axis labels, chart outlines, gridlines, chart and plot borders, background color, etc.
With very careful sizing and positioning of this bubbles-only chart over the original chart, you can get the bubbles to extend beyond the plot area of the original. If the size or position of a bubble is a little off, modify the overlay chart's data by the tiny amount needed to get the bubble to cover the underlying original bubble. Turn off the formatting for the underlying bubbles as last step.
NOT programmatic, very trial and error, and fussy, of course, and I hope someone comes up with a more elegant way to achieve your goal. But I was able to get it to work on my Windows machine.
In my graph, the x axis are text values. When I make the graph, I cannot stretch it to the whole width. Instead, it takes only less than half of the width.
I usually do this by clicking on "Format Axis", but it doesn't offer that in this case.
Here is the screenshot:
I'm using Excel for Mac.
When you made the chart, did you select a bunch of empty rows below the range that actually contains data? Looks like twice as much empty data as data with values.
If you select the plot area or chart area, you can see the source data of the chart highlighted in the sheet. You can resize the highlighted range with the mouse to modify the amount of data in the chart.
Did they made different types for windows and mac? I'm using windows and scaling is never a problem here.
I can't give you any answer but I can give you a suggestion. Can you check the width of the numbers below the 'Number of public SLA templates' label? Its occupying all the width of your window.
