Focus / Targeting Lines on a Chart
Hi Jon,
Yes the error bars solution is the easiest quick fix. For the example set the Fixed values to 120 for the X bars and 100 for the Y bars. Jon Peltier wrote: Andy - Without checking out your example, can I suggest error bars that span the chart? These can be linked to cells that calculate the required length based on the point of intersection. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ Andy Pope wrote: Hi Max, Tackle b first, its easiest. The workbook already contains a chartsheet and a chartobject example. You could try increasing the size of the datapoint marker, although I suspect even when increased to the maximum size (72) it will not reach the edges. Therefore you need to replace the single data marker with two lines, which will require additional data. Use the same principle to control the x,y positions. If you have problems adapting your chart then you can email me and I will have a look see. Max wrote: Andy, many thanks. Yes, it's pretty close to what I'm after... just 2 wishes: a. Could the cross-hairs be "expanded" to stretch right across / down ? This is to enable easy read-off of values in the x & y axis for points of interests in the chart. b. Could the chart be located in a chartsheet *and* the cross-hair controls placed there to work ? This would enable a bigger entire screen display to facilitate chart visibility by parties discussing. -- Rgds Max xl 97 ---------------------------------------------------- Use xdemechanik atyahoodotcom for email ----------------------------------------------------- "Andy Pope" wrote in message ... Hi Max, Check out this example I have created. (http://www.andypope.info/ngs/ng26.htm) It uses a extra data series to create the cross hairs. The scrollers allow dynamic movement of them. Max wrote: Ok, I've gone through the 2 links but was unable to find what was desired. Perhaps a re-clarification. What I'm looking for is a sort of "overlay" movable cross-hair grid ("superimposed") for use in a chartsheet (not something to be plotted in the chart itself) The cross-hair grid could be manipulated to say, highlight points of intersection of lines / curves in the course of a briefing on the chartsheet. -- Rgds Max xl 97 ---------------------------------------------------- Use xdemechanik atyahoodotcom for email ----------------------------------------------------- -- Cheers Andy ------ Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info -- Cheers Andy ------ Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info |

I assume that between the suggestions here and in the PP NG, this is no
longer an issue. However, if it is, check the Excel/Add- Ins/Interactive Chart page of my web site for an add-in that does something very similar. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta, MS MVP -- Excel www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says... Hi guys, Let's say I have a chart in a chartsheet. I'll like a visual aid to be able to direct, say, a discussion's focus from one point on the chart to another. Is there a way to put something like a "movable" vertical / horizontal targeting lines [a cross-hair?] to accomplish this? (something similar to Chip Pearson's Rowliner in a sheet?) Grateful for any insights. Thanks in advance. -- Rgds Max xl 97 ---------------------------------- Use xdemechanik atyahoodotcom for email ----------------------------------------- |

Thanks, Tushar.
But no, you're wrong g. Even when it is no longer a pressing issue, any options offered are always welcome & appreciated. ok, I've checked out your Interactive Chart page Certainly looks promising. Would have liked to try it out. but think unable? to proceed further as I'm using xl97 [& PPT97]. There's this little caveat at the top right of the page: "Works with Excel 2000 (or later) only." Any equivalent add-in for xl97 ? -- Rgds Max xl 97 ---------------------------------------------------- Use xdemechanik atyahoodotcom for email ----------------------------------------------------- "Tushar Mehta" wrote in message news:MPG.1a92af466cf53c929896c0@news-server...

Ahh, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for a possible version for xl97,
then ? g Anyway, boldy (or brazenly?) ignoring the caveat, just tried loading the "Interactive Chart Display" add-in into xl97 via Tools Add-ins. It showed up as one of the add-ins available but it just won't load.

Sorry. It turned out to be something more than a false warning. But,
your polite persistence paid off. Check version 1.1m. It's retrofitted to XL97! -- Regards, Tushar Mehta, MS MVP -- Excel www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...
