Charts return zero?
Hi!
in Sheet2: B1=IF(COLUMNS($A:A)COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),"",INDEX(S heet1!$B:$B,SMALL(Sheet1!$D:$D,COLUMNS($A:A)))) -copy accross 40 columns A2=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT(Sheet1!C:C),"",INDEX(Sheet1 !A:A,SMALL(Sheet1!C:C,ROWS($1:1)))) -copy accross 40 rows B2=IF(OR(B$1="",$A2=""),"",SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$A$1 :$A$100=$A2)*(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100=B$1))) -copy accross 40rows*40columns based on the function above,it will create a table of data where i will create a chart from it.i define 2 offset to create the chart: CUST=OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet2!$A:$A),1 ) MOD=OFFSET(Sheet2!$B$2,0,0,1,COUNTA(Sheet2!$2:$2)) for now the chart has 25R*24C,therefore when i ceate the chart,it is based on 40R*40C,included the row and column with no data.is it because of the function in the cell? i copy the function to 40R*40C as a space for new data since the table would expand rows and column time by time. the problem right now is i want the chart include the available data only..i dont want it to include the zero data.is it possible?is yes,how? thanks in advanced! -- Regards, Linda |

Charts return zero?
Linda -
Here is what I posted in response to a similar question last month: Using dynamic ranges, you can create a chart whose series grow and shrink as the range becomes longer and shorter. But you can't use dynamic ranges to vary the number of series in the chart. That would require some VBA. Assuming the data starts in cell A1, you could define a name that includes the rows and columns up to the errors. Go to Insert menu Name Define: Name: ChartDataRange Refers To: =offset($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A$1:$A$36)-SUM(IF(ISNA($A$1:$A$36),1,0)),COUNT($1:$1)+1) I arbitrarily chose A1:A36; pick a range long enough to get all the values you may ever need. Update the data, then run this macro: Sub UpdateChart() ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.SetSourceData _ Source:=ActiveSheet.Range("ChartDataRange"), _ PlotBy:=xlRows End Sub - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "linda" wrote in message ... i've gone through all the post and others link but all of the example just for static column..just define offset for each column.but now,my table is changing both rows & column.i cant define for each column since there may be column with zero data. my table full with function not only in the value,but also in the labels for X & Y axis. please someone do help me..thank you! -- Regards, Linda "linda" wrote: Hi! in Sheet2: B1=IF(COLUMNS($A:A)COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),"",INDEX(S heet1!$B:$B,SMALL(Sheet1!$D:$D,COLUMNS($A:A)))) -copy accross 40 columns A2=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT(Sheet1!C:C),"",INDEX(Sheet1 !A:A,SMALL(Sheet1!C:C,ROWS($1:1)))) -copy accross 40 rows B2=IF(OR(B$1="",$A2=""),"",SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$A$1 :$A$100=$A2)*(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100=B$1))) -copy accross 40rows*40columns based on the function above,it will create a table of data where i will create a chart from it.i define 2 offset to create the chart: CUST=OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet2!$A:$A),1 ) MOD=OFFSET(Sheet2!$B$2,0,0,1,COUNTA(Sheet2!$2:$2)) for now the chart has 25R*24C,therefore when i ceate the chart,it is based on 40R*40C,included the row and column with no data.is it because of the function in the cell? i copy the function to 40R*40C as a space for new data since the table would expand rows and column time by time. the problem right now is i want the chart include the available data only..i dont want it to include the zero data.is it possible?is yes,how? thanks in advanced! -- Regards, Linda |

Charts return zero?
I gave an example with a simple definition of my dynamic range. You had a
more complicated definition which presumably accounted for the characteristics of your data range. I am suggesting you use your name definitions with the VBA approach to changing the chart's source data range. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "linda" wrote in message ... can't understand what you mean...can you please explain me further? -- Regards, Linda "Jon Peltier" wrote: Try to incorporate your more detailed definitions of the width and height of the plotting range into my simple name definition. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "linda" wrote in message ... i already try that yesterday,but its still not help.my chart is still 40R*40C eventhough the available data only 26R*25C. -- Regards, Linda "Jon Peltier" wrote: Linda - Here is what I posted in response to a similar question last month: Using dynamic ranges, you can create a chart whose series grow and shrink as the range becomes longer and shorter.
