tornado charts
I need to do a tornado charts like the ones shown in
http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/format.html#tornado but I need Y axes not to show category but real numbers that needs to mantein their relative position (they are ascissas in another scatter plot) so that the distance between point manteins its original value I mean 0,0113 0,0113 0,0115 0,0119 0,0127 0,0134 0,0134 0,014 0,014 0,014 0,0142 0,0144 are my Y-values and they must be "numbers" (not category?) is it possible...? TIA |

Hi,
I'm not sure I fully understand. If you use a value on the Y axis how thick do you expect the bars to be? If you only need a profile of the points either side of the zero on the x axis then a xy scatter may give you the chart you want. Maybe you could post a link to a site that illustrates the chart you are trying to create.

Ok, now I understand the meaning of tornado charts...yesterday my head was
burned 'cause of too much studying...:-// now, referring to values I've posted yesterday I want B column on the left side of chart, C column on the right (this is simple...) A B C 0,0113 1 0 0,0113 2 1 0,0115 1 2 0,0119 1 0 0,0127 1 3 0,0134 1 1 0,0134 1 1 0,014 0 1 0,014 2 0 0,014 3 0 0,0142 1 0 0,0144 0 0 Really, I'm trying to obtain such series to do the tornado chart A B C 0,0113 3 1 0,0115 1 2 0,0119 1 0 0,0127 1 3 0,0134 2 2 0,014 5 1 and so on, so that I've grouped and sum the occurences of B and C values matching the corrispondent same A values but still I am not able to do this last operation...

Hi,
Here is one way. Hightlight you A values and use Advanced Filter, located under the Data menu, to create a unique list begining in cell E1. You should now have in range E1:E9 your A heading and 8 unique values. Use the following formula to generate you summary data. F1: =B1 G1: =C1 F2: =-SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$13=E2)*($B$2:$B$13)) G2: =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$13=E2)*($C$2:$C$13)) fill F2:G2 down to F9:G9 You should now have your data. Notice I negated the B values so these will appear to the left in your tornado. Follow the instruction to complete the chart.

I used a pivot table to sum the values. Column A goes in the Rows area,
B and C into the Data area, then drag the Data button to the top. I didn't have to determine the values for column E; the pivot table did that for me. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Andy Pope wrote: Hi, Here is one way.
