I have a csv file open in excel. I want to create two line graphs by choosing two rows. The problem is that these rows are in one row. How is this possible? One row contains many values from which a set of values needs to be plotted against set of values in the same row. The power of the two sets are identical. These two sets of values are fetched by filtering the row according to the values of other columns. I can create the plot of one set since I can apply the filter once. How can I add the second set of values onto the existing plot by doing an independent filter on the same column? I don't want to split the file into two different files. I am not that familiar with excel 2007.
If your data is labeled, you probably want to use a pivot chart. Click the link for an overview

I am trying to create a graph where the number of columns varies. what I have done is used name manager to label each of the possible columns (1-100). I have then used these named ranges to create a graph.
Each column in the table should be identified as a series, the issue is that I do not know how to change the number of series automatically, so that when data is added to the column the chart automatically added the series in. I tried to do this by naming the range as a table, this also did not work as it included the empty columns as series on the chart.
the data I am trying to use is as follows;
When I add data to another column I want to add that series to the graph. Is there a way of doing this? because all I have been able to find are examples where the number of rows are the only thing that is dynamic.
I have a survey data set that I need to periodically update and produce reports out of in Excel 2016. I want to filter the data by location and then compare locations by year>quarter to a total from all reporting locations ("provincial") using some charts.
The data is categorical: column is called "location", and then there are about 20 locations available to select.
I "solved" this originally by creating pivot charts and converting them to formulas to create standard charts that allowed me to add provincial totals. This is not flexible though and I want to do a better job.
I tried adding a new column to the data that is populated by "Provincial" for each row. Now I can create a set of pivot tables for each question and connect them with a filter so that one pivot has the locations I want and the dates I want, while the second pivot has the provincial total filtered by the same dates. Only problem with this is that you can't create a chart that pulls data from two different pivot tables.
Example Pivot tables filtered to one location for 2019
One option I considered was to somehow duplicate each row but replace the location data for each with "provincial". This way I could filter everything and have provincial as a location option that has all of the data I want. I don't know how to do this in any kind of automated way though, and it needs to be flexible enough for me to add new data over time.
I need to transform Excel files to ESRI FileGDB using FME.
The problem is that my excel worksheets contains more than one table.
Example: At row 1, I have the attributes of the first table. Row 2 to 4 contains the values.
At row 6 I have the attributes of the second table. 45 next rows are the values.
And the same thing for the third table.
These rows can change. I could have the attributes of the second table at any row.
I think the best solution would be to have a process that split the .xls file in three different files so I can transform them directly into ESRI format.
Is there a transformer that could perform this task or should I code it myself in Python?
PS: This process will be called from a REST Service so I can't do this manually. Also, the columns name will always be the same.
Thanks
FME reads the Excel rows in order, so I would add a Counter transformer after reading the Excel file.
The column names don't change, so you could check at which row (number given by the Counter) the new table begins.
Then is just a matter of filtering the features with a TestFilter.
I have already made charts and would like to make it dynamic so that when I add new data (highlighted yellow) the charts will update automatically.
Can someone guide me on how to do this.
Image of sample data for what I am trying to do is attached.
I would advise the use of named formulas for your series data inputs. Your named formulas can be dynamic in nature, in that they search across the row and check for the first blank row of data.
As an example, all the grapsh can have their horizontal axis labels set to the named formula 'validDates', where
validDates is put in the name manager as :
='NTesco'!$C$2:INDEX('NTesco'!$2:$2, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3), 99999)))
N.B. You could use slightly different variations for each graphs date range if there will be independent data gathering for each corresponding value range. Then you should use that row's row index in the IF logical test argument...
You could also use a formula for the first graph values, such as:
='NTesco'!$C$3:INDEX('NTesco'!$3:$3, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3), 99999)))
The AIOWHB graph takes values from the 4th row, so would be:
='NTesco'!$C$4:INDEX('NTesco'!$4:$4, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$4:$AZZ$4="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$4:$AZZ$4), 99999)))
And so on for the other two....
I have a report (rdlc) that has a data set that has row grouping based upon certain field values.
It is set up to appear as separate tables for each grouping.
I now have a requirement to display a column for only one of these groupings.
For example, if value = a then show a column in the grouped table.
If value <> a then do not display this column.
I have tried several visibility techniques but cannot get the column to show in only one grouping.
The closest I got was to show the column in the required grouping, but it left white space for the column within the other tables.
Has anyone successfully tried anything similar?
Thanks for any and all assistance!!!
A table in SSRS ( and many other systems) must have the same columns for every row, and the same rows for every column. You can merge some of these, but that won't accomplish what you want: changing the number of columns for only some rows of the table.
I would separate this into multiple tables. Use the filters property of the different tables(tablixes) to filter each table to only display the appropriate rows if you would like to keep your current dataset.
