I have a timeline chart made using a scatter graph. I want to edit the X axis so it is thick and has labels for different Phases. I created an image of the chart style I am looking to create.
Can anyone let me know what to search or help on how I can format my chart.

I am using vba to create a pivot chart that is then filtered for the top 10 categories. For the legend we would like to include those categories NOT in the pie chart. I am able to create a list of the items that are not included in the pie chart, but I haven't figured out how to add them to the legend. I tried setting the XValues alone but that didn't work. Is it possible to create a custom legend? I wouldn't need the color boxes but I would like to add the number and and percent similar to those that are displayed for the top 10 categories in the pie chart.
I have a chart that I am using to keep track of weekly data. It is a Pivot table with an attached graph. Every week when I refresh the data the chart moves back to the following picture.
Graph
With the Data labels shoved inside of the bottom of the chart. I Spend a bit of time every week moving all of them back down. I would like to anchor them with the upper right corner attaching to the bottom axis. The only placement option in the Pivot chart are Center, Inside End, Inside Base, Outside end. I am using inside base to get the picture I mentioned.
Here is what I change it to each week. As you can see I drag all of them down individually and try to get them to line up as best as I can by hand. But they are never perfect.
I have finally found my problem, The issue was I was using Data Labels and not axis labels.
If you are having this problem go Pivotchart tools > Design > Add chart Element > Axes > Primary Horizontal.
I'd like to create an excel dashboard where the user selects which series are plotted based on a drop down menu. The series for the chart is derived as follows:
=IF(J$6="Plot",100 * D8/D$108,"")
etc.
If I turn off "Plot" the series disappears form the chart but an empty line persists in the legend. I'd like the legend to include only the series I have selected.
Thank you in advance,

I can easily change background color of an entire chart like:
chart.format.fill.setSolidColor("lightgray");
and I can change the gridlines in the plot area.
I want to change the fill color of the plot area. Can I do that?
Sorry. There is no Office.JS API to do that yet. We are working on such an API. I'm not allowed to predict when it will be available.
I've got a scatter chart in an SSRS report and a requiremetn to label each quadrant of the chart.
When I drop a text box with the label of each quadrant and get it to look just how I want it in the designer all seems well.
But when the report is run the flow based layout of the report put the text boxs vertically under need the scatter chart.
How do I get the text boxes to remain on top of the chart?
In designer
Rendered report
Consider adding the Quadrant labels as a chart title instead of a textbox. You will need to enable the CustomPosition property of the chart title to True in order to place the titles in the corners.
I am unable to post an image without some "reputation" but I was able to add the quadrant titles successfully.
