Graphic Data Marker in Excel 2007 Charts
Hi,
I would like to add some pictures as data markers in my line chart using excel VBA. I tried recording a macro to do this but the code is not generated for the insert picture part. Does any one have an idea for this. Regards, Mohan |

Graphic Data Marker in Excel 2007 Charts
Hi,
Create a line chart with 2 series. Then with the chart selected run this routine. Make sure you change the UserPicture filename to one that is on your system. Sub MyMarkers() ' from file With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1) .Format.Fill.UserPicture "C:\Waterfall.jpg" .MarkerSize = 20 End With ' from shape on worksheet With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2) ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 1").Copy .Paste End With End Sub Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "Mohan Kumar Karunakaran" wrote in message ...

Graphic Data Marker in Excel 2007 Charts
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your help. This solved my problem but I have one more question. I tried to insert an image from the below mentioned link (a pin). http://members.aol.com/%5Fht%5Fa/wiseowlsw/shadows.htm So when I save this picture to my harddrive and used the module provided by you the image is loaded as datamarkers but with a border around it. Is there anyway to show only the icon without the borders. The file extension is .gif Thanks in advance, Mohan "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, Create a line chart with 2 series.

This should remove the markers border.

Graphic Data Marker in Excel 2007 Charts
Apologies for asking a question in a reply (every time I try to start a new
thread I get nothing but a blocked pop up!) I want to replace the markers in 2000 excel scatterplot charts with numbers so for a given object I can identify its attributes across a number of scatterplots.ie all the ones correspond to the first object, all the two's to the second etc.is this possible and if it is how (keep in mind I'm just a biologist not a programmer). Could I do it as per the Andy Pope instructions? is there an easier way? Thank-you for your consideration -- karl "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, Create a line chart with 2 series.

I just use Data Labels. You can use the normal numbers in ordinary fonts, or find the fonts which give numbers in circles or bullets, and use the characters from those fonts. Format their alignment to Center/Center, and then format the data series to have no conventional marker. No VBA programming required, but it's easier if you download and install one of the two common free data label add-ins: Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |

You can simplify this by naming the series '1', '2', etc., and assigning the
default series name data labels. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Del Cotter" wrote in message ...

Now you can see I've never encountered anything later than 2000 :-) Well, that's what I thought I remembered, but you said "2003 or below". As far as I recall, adding the data label options was about the only chart enhancement in 2002, but it was a good one. There were also a bunch of enhancements to pivot tables. These may have made it worthwhile to upgrade, but I hardly used 2002. When I upgraded from 97 to 2000, I was happy enough to ignore 2002. A week or two after I finally upgraded to 2002, 2003 became available, and it was more appealing than 2002. 2003 introduced the powerful and useful Lists, which have become even more powerful Tables in 2007. While the lists alone were reason enough for me to upgrade, 2003 was also more stable than 2002 (a trend since 97 that seems to have skipped 2007). 2002 was a forgotten version, not just for me, but apparently for most users. 2007 deserves to be another forgotten version; it has a lot of potentially nice new features, but there are too many gremlins and inefficiencies for serious use. I only use it in virtual machines when developing for clients who have upgraded. For my important work, I stick to 2003. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ |
