One-line bar chart for %
 

Hello all,

I have a list of percentages that I hope can be represented by a singl
horizontal bar chart. Each bar would represent the percentage in th
cell to its left.

No comparisons or multibar are needed, just a one line bar that fit
the next cell horizontally, like so:

56% Chart
78% Chart
61% Chart
and so on...

The chart will be the same size for all entries.
If anyone can help or has any pointers, some direction would be greatl
appreciated.

Jef

Jeff,

You want something to the right of these cells that graphically shows
(chart-style, horizontally) the value in each cell? I don't know if I've
interpreted your question correctly. Try this:

=REPT("-",A2*100)

Copy down.

Thanks for the help with this, it gets the idea across, which is what
need. I still seem to have some issues formulating the same thin
within vba, though. This is what I have thus far:


Set rng = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)

Worksheets("_DeputationQuery").Range("F1").Activat e
For i = 1 To rng.Row
ActiveCell.Formula = "=REPT(""|"",E" & i & "*100)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i


The error I receive is from the "ActiveCell.Formula" line. If you ca
help me finish this off, a director at my office will definitel
appreciate it!

Your code worked ok for me, but another way to do this is to populate the whole
range in one fell swoop.

Just like selecting a range, typing the formula (for the activecell) and hitting
ctrl-enter to fill the other cells in the selection.

Dim lastRow As Long
With Worksheets("_DeputationQuery")
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("f1:f" & lastRow).Formula = "=REPT(""|"",E1*100)"
End With

Try this manually against a cell with a percentage in it (test worksheet):

=REPT(REPT(CHAR(134),4)&" ",INT(A1*100/5))&REPT("|",MOD(A1*100,5))

If you like that effect:

In your code:

..Range("f1:f" & lastRow).Formula _
= "=REPT(REPT(CHAR(134),4)&"" "",INT(E1*100/5))&REPT(""|"",MOD(E1*100,5))"
