Well, it does place the NA in the date cell just fine, and the chart does not put those tags in, but it does still make a 29 day chart, and despite telling it to ignore the data, if there is data in the data cells, it appears in the non-labeled 29th day in the chart. What I would need to do is actually delete the whole line in the data set, because the chart is pivot based, and the table adds a line and incorporates it into the chart automatically when data is added to the row just under the last row.fine. It also concatenates the chart size when said row is removed. I just found out that this all works fine by merely hiding the row, so my test needs to trigger a hide or unhide event at a row location. The chart follows this move whether there is data in the hidden row or not. So it is pretty close. I think I could do this now with a macro Since I know how to do the test, and I know how to hide and unhide via menu, and I recall seeing code for it (hiding) while in the help file too. Is there a straight excel function that would hide or unhide a row, or will VB be the only way? Thanks for the test string. That ties it all together. I know it is simple, but I do not know all the command functions, so I could not consider even attempting the test string. When I attempted the hide while I authored this post, I found that the chart follows the hide event. Thanks again. Pretty close to a dynamic February data table and tracking charts. Only a few decisions left to make. My almost ready chart has been DL'd on MS' site 100 times. :-) After this fix, it will be as good as it gets... or as good as it needs to be anyway.

I tested before I posted before, and I've just tested again. If the last
cell has #N/A in it, the chart doesn't even include a blank slot for the date. This is tested on a line chart and a column chart, both having date-scale axes. In a line chart, there will be no space even with a category (text label) axis if you also have a condition on the X value that returns NA() when the date is #N/A. A column chart with a category (text label) axis will have a slot with #N/A as the label. - Jon ------- Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "Archimedes' Lever" wrote in message ...

A pivot chart, eh? They're not so flexible. Keep in mind that it's always
best to share as many details as possible when introducing the post, like chart type, version number, specific formula that's giving difficulties. So how are you making a pivot table that gives you a slot for 29 Feb 2009? Pivot tables don't make up dates. Use the whole dates in the pivot table, but if you only want to show the day number, use a custom date format that only shows the day, not month and year. - Jon ------- Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "Archimedes' Lever" wrote in message ...

It is on the Microsoft Templates page under community submitted templates. Folks are downloading it, so I want to get it fixed up. I have since made some changes so it is not formatted as it is on the MS site currently. That sheet uses a simple number for the day of the month, so that column was not a date column. Since I grabbed the sheet from someone else, I was unaware that it was a pivot chart, as I have only recently become aware of the animal's existence (thanks).

If this were my project (sorry, I don't have time to make it mine) I think I
would have used an Excel List or Table as the data entry region, kept dates in one column, and not fed a pivot table with this. I'd build a set of worksheet controls that would allow the user to select a time range to plot, on a chart with a date scale on the X axis.

"The template you are trying to access was not found."
I think the problem is that the MS site "helpfully" checks whether I have 2007 installed on my machine (I do, but on a VM, not on the main machine). If not, I get an option to download manually, and when I click on that link, it can't believe I haven't upgraded to the newest, glitteriest spreadsheet program in history, so it can't bring itself to find the file. Why they can't just put up a simple freaking link, I don't know. They've pushed the compatibility pack onto everyone anyway, so why should they care? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "Archimedes' Lever" wrote in message ... Hunt up on the recent submissions "WallyWallWhackr" or "Blood Pressure Tracker for entire year". It is on the first page of the "recently submitted" community templates. on the templates main page at microsoft.com http://office.microsoft.com/search/r... 100632981033 or, the main templates page and select "recently submitted" in the left column: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...595491033.aspx On Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:38:26 -0400, "Jon Peltier" wrote: "The template you are trying to access was not found." - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "Archimedes' Lever" wrote in message . ..

I'd build a set of worksheet controls that would allow the user to select a time range to plot, on a chart with a date scale on the X axis. I showed an example that worked like this he Dynamic Charting By Dates - http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=246 I made this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/my...058731033.aspx There is no Feb 29 handling currently as MS does not accept macro enabled template submissions. There are no pivot charts or tables. Feb 29 messes up the charts, even with the #N/A () in place in the date fields, which are one axis. So I omit your IF statement test string, and was using a button to hide or unhide that row in two locations. That actually works, and also likely with the area chart under discussion elsewhere. That is a good way to code it, if it works with all the charts. Is MS going to patch SP2 to solve its problems I have been reading about? Anyway, take a gander at my workbook, if you get a moment. I think the macro buttons could be eliminated, and the test and change be automated in a single macro with no need for user interaction (simply run the test and hide or unhide the rows). Thanks again, Jon, for all the help you have given me. My work is close to completion, and much better than the previous version thanks to your help, and the exercises it put me through. 'Grade' my spreadsheet if you would. I like feedback. I should make it so the user can select that chart plot line colors on the first page as well. That would be cool, as then the user could make easy universal color changes without the recursive exercise of activating all the pertinent sheets and setting the colors and saving. Having a choice dialog would make it point and click. Anyone that monitors and tracks their blood pressure should give it a glance as well. |
