Hi

I am newbie. I have an excelsheet with 5 Columns A,B,C,D,E,F. Columns B, C,E
are dropdownlists. Now my problem is how to generate a bar-graph on Columns
A,B,C, E,F dynamically based on the data in the excel. The data in excel
might get added or removed.

How to do this ? Any sample code wld be great.

Hi

if you're just asking how you can graph the information from say A1:F20 (for
example) then the easiest way is to select the range (if you really want to
miss out column D then select from A1:C20, hold down the control key and
then select from E1:F20 (you need to do it in this order)) then press the
F11 key ... now choose Chart / Chart type from the menu and choose the bar
chart. This will change when the information in these columns changes.

if you're asking anything else, please post back with a sample of your data
(please don't attach a workbook) and a more detailed description of what you
want to see.

Cheers

Hi

Here is how my Excel sheet look like. Equipment, Shift and Reason are
dropdownlist. Each time we enter data in row, we choose one of option from
Dropdownlist.

Date Equipment Shift HrsAvail Uptime Reason

11/01/04 EqipA Day 10 10 Rea1
11/02/04 EqipB Night 10 6 Rea2
11/03/04 EqipC Day 10 8 Rea2
11/04/04 EqipA Day 10 10 Rea3

So what i am asking now is, the data in the seet changes very often. So i
have to somehow be able to generate bar graph automatically. Can this be done
thru a macro or VB script by selecting the x n yaxis dynamically from one of
the heading above?

Also how can we read all the options from each dropdownlist in vbscript?

Pls help

Just a guess, but maybe this is what you need: Your data is as follows


Date Equipment Shift HrsAvail Uptime Reason

11/01/04 EqipA Day 10 10 Rea1
11/02/04 EqipB Night 10 6 Rea2
11/03/04 EqipC Day 10 8 Rea2
11/04/04 EqipA Day 10 10 Rea3


Select the Header row (i.e date, equip... etc), Click DATA FILTER
AUTO FILTER.
This will display dropdowns for the headers and now you can select an
given equip or day/night or reason, and filter the data.

Now select the date column, the HrsAvailable and Uptime columns. Draw
bar graph.

Now when you select a given equip, day/night, or reason, the graph wil
display only the filtered data
