Charting selective data
I have a database in an excel worksheet that I download from an internet
source. It's 25 columns by 100 to 150 rows. I want to plot the value in the "Value" column versus the date in the "Date" column for each row where the "Status" Column equals "A" in a chart on that worksheet. "Value" ranges form 100 to 300, "Date" covers a 2 year window and there are about 30 (+/-) occurrences of "Status" = "A" I use the data base functions to find min, max, average but would like some way to apply the criteria to my graph. I'm familiar with MS Access & VBA in MS Access and could generate a query but I want to do this in an Excel application. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks, Jael |

Charting selective data
Hi,
Select entire page and sort the data by the "Status" column. All rows with Status = "A" will bunch up into a block. Now you can selectively plot "Value" vs "Date" for that block. Before doing the above, you could copy the entire data to another sheet, so that the original data structure is in tact. Regards, B. R.

Charting selective data
Apply an autofilter to the data range, or convert it to a list (Excel 2003:
Data menu) or a table (Excel 2007), then select the status you want to show in the dropdown. By default, Excel charts do not plot hidden rows and columns. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jael" wrote in message ...

Charting selective data
Thanks for the reply - That's what I currently do, but I have to re-define
the graph's range each time I download (two to three times a week) as they never have the same number of rows. jael "B.

Thanks - not familiar with autofilter but search it out and give it a try -
I'm using Excel 2000 (yeah I know - it's old, but the company is too cheap to upgrade) will that make a difference? jael "Jon Peltier" wrote: Apply an autofilter to the data range, or convert it to a list (Excel 2003: Data menu) or a table (Excel 2007), then select the status you want to show in the dropdown.

No problem. AutoFilter works the same way in Excel from version 97 (and
probably earlier, I just don't remember) to 2003. It also works in 2007, but I'm not sure if the functionality has been adjusted much. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jael" wrote in message ...

Jon:
Thanks - works well for what I need at this time. Can Autofilter be applied programatically? I'm familian with VBA in MS Access but not in Excel and this might be a good place to start "experimenting" Apreciate your responses Jael "Jon Peltier" wrote: No problem.

Sure. Turn on the macro recorder then play with the autofilter to get some
code to play with. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Jael" wrote in message ...
