I've never see or used this feature before:
I've inherited some charts with the X values restricted in this dialog box. How do I remove these restrictions to display all X values (note, there does not seem to be a Select All option, and there are dozens of values to check, and more will be added in future - I don't want to have to update these every week)? Basically, how to clear this setting and revert to a normal chart that displays all X values in the selected ranges?

I have a bar graph as seen below, I need to change the colour of all the bars to let's say green.
Currently the only way I have been able to find to do this is click each individual date and then the fill bucket green as excel doesn't allow you to CTRL + Click multiple elements. Is there a way to change the colour of all the bars shown in one go?
Worth mentioning I can not change the colours by creating a "values table" as the workbook is locked and I have to do this for several different graphs.
That's happening because you have created the chart using every date as an individual serie. I suggest to use the "Switch Row/Column" option and became all the dates as a unique serie, so all the bars will have the same color.
In the other hand if you need to keep the chart as you shown on the picture shared, is possible to change every bar at once but just using a VBA code.
I have several bar charts, all configured to show Data Labels.
The data labels object box is showing (I can also apply Fill and Border colors to it). However, this object is always EMPTY. Regardless of what I tick to show (e.g. Values, Values from Cells, Series Name, etc...) - it is always empty, with the minimum (shrunk) width (as it should expand per the value presented). If I tick to show the "Legend Key" - a colored square does show to the left of the empty label box.
There's no issue with the font definition, or colors, but it seems as if some underlying theme-wide setting is causing this behavior with all charts on this Workbook.
I have a matching Workbook before some formatting (branding) were applied, in which Data Labels are working just fine. I compared all Data Labels settings and options - they are identical.
Any idea where else can I look?
Thanks!
Updating here that the issue is solved.
I believe it is some sort of a bug in Excel 2016.
I deleted the Data Labels and Re-created them, now it is working normally.
I have to delete per each chart where this problem was evident.
Is there a way to plot a single horizontal line in excel using the value from a single cell? So without having to create a column filled with the same value for every point?
Edit: I'm trying to add the horizontal line to an existing lineplot
You'll need to enter the value in the first and last row of data.
1) insert your chart
2) Right-click on it and choose "Select Data Source" from the drop-down menu
3) Select your series on the left hand side of the dialog box
4) Click on "Hidden and Empty Cells"
5) In the resulting dialog box, select "Connect data points with line
I created a new "Name" (Formulas/Name Manager) with the formula:
=SEQUENCE(1,[number of datapoints],[value that we want to plot],0)
Then we select the chart, go to Chart Design/Select Data, and Edit our Series. In Values, we need to add:
='[Sheet name]'![Name we gave to the "Name" we created]
This works for Charts of dynamic sizes, since we can use COUNT to know how many datapoints we have. It also updates when we change the value we want to plot.
I am creating a work planner using Excel. The user selects a specific name from a drop down menu and it displays the projects. I want a table/gridline to be displayed. I would like it to add a gridline which automatically shows/hides when a name is selected but the height should be dependent on the rows of data. So if there are a 5 projects the table should be 5 columns long.
I have implemented a formula using Conditional Formatting (=NOT(ISBLANK(D6))), but the table still shows if I select the default option which shows no names.
Bit tricky without knowing what's in D6! - but presume it's your dropdown... in which case don't you want this an absolute reference $D$6?
One other thing to try is having multiple rules, so setup conditional formatting so that ISBLANK(D6) then no borders (make sure it's the first rule and to tick 'stop if true' to stop it running through to your NOT(ISBLANK) rule)
Here I have a chart
I did a right-click -> "Add labels" , and it read them from my a(H/C) row. Basically, I want it to read label values from the CO2/CH4 row instead, so they would be 0,0.5,1,2,5,10 instead. Of course, I want the chart itself to remain the same, so, the x values of dots are in row "b(O/C)", their y values are in "a(H/C)" row, and their respective labels are read from "CO2/CH4". Can it be done automatically and how (preferrably, without scripting magic)? Rewriting them manually is a pain, really.
You will get the desired results by following the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the Chart
Step 2: Select the Design Tab in Ribbon Bar (Note: “Design Tab” appears only when the Chart is selected)
Step 3: Click on “Select Data” feature in the Design Tab as shown in Screen Shot 1
Step 4: Click on Edit Button as shown in Screen Shot 2
Step 5: Change the Series Name Rage and the data range in “Series Y Values:” as highlighted in Screen shot 3
What about adding the different points as different series and using the series names as labels (instead of the y-values) ?
If you need the "line" between the points (or if you need to add a trendline...), keep the serie you already have (with every point) without labels
Excel 2013 added the capability to use text from worksheet cells as data point labels. If you don't have 2013 (your screen shot looks like 2010), or even if you do, you can use Rob Bovey's free Chart Labeler add-in
