Hey I need to displaying the following results in a graph in excel, such that all the results are together in one graph?
Results Addition ArrayLookup Function Call Fibonacci
Opt1 462 1259 891 14
Opt2 511 1191 865 13
I can't seem to find a way to do this in excel. I want the opt1, opt2 etc on the x-axis, and then the clock cycles on the y-axis, and all 4 test programs in different colours.
Any help would be great, thanks.
The chart type you're looking for is 'Clustered Bar/Column'. As your table stands, it wants to group on columns, as just selecting your array and clicking on the chart type won't spit out the chart you want. On Office for Mac, there is a button for 'Switch Plot' which will tell excel to group on rows. If you can't find it, simply transposing the array and making a clustered bar/column chart should do the trick.

Excel seems not to enjoy the quantity of data i need to plot.
So i am considering, is it even possible with excel?
I have tried using pivot tables, but it splits the data into multiple parts, which i dont need.
I also tried Using a normal line plot, i get the error maximum 255 in a series.
Do i need to find alternative software for this plot?
Example of the data:
Long time open question, in the mean time i found a answer which i will share.
I went outside Excel and found a old outdated app called DatPlot
and it worked like a charm..
I have a line chart that displays the revenue of multiple airlines, throughout the period of 2011 to 2016 - with data points plotted quarterly (Q1-Q4, for each year) on the X-axis
I would like to only show the data labels (on the chart) for Q4 of each year, for each airline. I would like to do this and keep the axis as is.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated,
Thank you!
(I have Excel 2016)
Your question didn't express clearly if you want to add the labels by means of a VBA macro.
I suggest to do following:
Dim sData as Series
For i = 1 to sData.Points.Count Step 4
sData.Points(i).ApplyDataLabels
Next i
Note that if there is not value for the Point i in the series, the label seems not to be displayed. It took a while to find out why a label was not added to the chart. To detect this case, I wrote following test:
If sData.Points(i).HasDataLabel Then
If Len(sData.Points(i).DataLabel.Text) = 0 Then
...
End If
End IF
Searching a little in the web (around 3 minutes, that maybe you should spend the same time) found this article:
http://www.cs.mun.ca/~n39smm/Excel/Data%20Label.pdf
This is the resume, but I suggest to view the document because have a lot of graphics.
Click on the bar you want to labeled twice before Add Data Labels.
Click on the label, then right click and select Format Data Labels.
Check the Category Name and uncheck Value.
A little research before asking can save you a lot of time.
I am working on Microsoft Excel 2013 scatter plots and I'd like to know if there is a more productive way to do this:
Let's say I have a big database with several columns and rows, i.e:
A B C D
1 Length Width Volume Area
2 2 1 8 4
3 3 2 7 1
4 1 5 3 5
5 7 3 12 6
I create a scatter plot for Volume vs Length. After, I want to create another scatter plot for Area vs Width. As I have a lot of rows and columns, I copy the first plot and then, in select data, I change the range of data (A to B and C to D). Is there an efficient way to do this? (shortcuts with arrows keys, maybe? I didn't find them) or Do I have to change the letters manually?
Thank you.

If this is a repetitive task in the sense that every say Friday you create the same 4 graphs based on new information in the same columns then you could record a macro of what you are doing and associate it with keyboard short cuts.
You can do the same thing with updating the graph information but it starts getting a little more complex when you start changing which column number you want as the series. But its definitely possible. I would recommend recording a macro of you editing the 2-3 graphs so we can sheet patterns and we can probably help you edit the macro.
Now something simpler that may, and I stress may, suit your needs. Select A1 to D5, then insert you XY scatter plot. You X axis which should be common to all needs to be in the left most column. When you go to edit your source data you should see each series listed. You can simply check and uncheck which series you would like to have active. the ones with a check mark will display. If you needed three graphs at the same time, you could then copy and paste the graphs twice and set up each one to your desire without having to reselect the data range, you would just check/uncheck which series to display
I have to make a project for biology.
I need to create 21 graphs. Each one for one row.
The graphs will be the same, but only changed data from in each row.
That's mean, If I have a table with 21 rows I need 21 graphs and only change value from each row.
You could literally create a set of graphs - one for each line if you wished however, this would be a fair pull on your processor so probably isn't the best of ideas.
If you are using Excel 2013, I'd have a look at the 'Sparklines' portion of the insert tab, where you can add a couple of different mini one line graphs.
Hope this helps
I am trying to plot some time series data, but in a way that has stumped me so far. The salient part here is that each data point is associated with an open date and a closed date. I would like a time series line graph that counts the number open on a given date.
Example: Open - Close
first record: 2/10/2013 - 3/1/2013
second record: 2/15/2013 - 3/5/2013
The graph I'm looking for would start at 0, rise to 1 on 2/10 rise again to 2 on 2/15 then drop down 1 on 3/1 and back to 0 on 3/5.
The actual dataset contains hundreds of records, so manual processing is out of the question. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do it, but I have not found it yet. Tried help and google search, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.
Use the CountIfs() function like so:
So, you specify the category labels, and then use the COUNTIFS() function to evaluate, for each category label, how many records are open at that time.
You can use the result of the Countifs function as the frequency for a histogram, time series, bar chart, etc.
Then, plot the data in columns E & F (or however your sheet happens to be arranged) to create the chart.
Edit
To include blank values in the count, modify the formula thusly:
=COUNTIFS($B$3:$B$7,"<="&E3,$C$3:$C$7,">="&E3)+COUNTIFS($B$3:$B$7,"<="&E3,$C$3:$C$7,"")
