Default data range referrences


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.

That 'IF(MONTH' test segment is what I was looking for. My third month
is on a separate sheet and will always read as the first day of the third
month on the first row. I am doing this for Feb only and this will allow
me to selectively fill both the date column and the day of week column,
which also shows up in the chart.

So this will make the 29 row blank (#N/A) on other than leap year, and
that blank row will not get used on the chart sheet, even though it is
based on the 29 row range? That is what I gathered from the letter part
of you response, and this will even keep that row out of the 365 day
years.? I think this may be exactly what I was after. This switch, in
fact is short and sweet, whereas I was trying to switch entire charts or
worksheets on which that given month would be based on.

I will let you know. Thank you.

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.

Mine adds the slot for years with a leap year, but when it inserts #N/A

Hiding and unhiding the row most definitely works.

Perhaps my improper function is related to the chart type, as in the

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.

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.


It has TWO columns at the start that are BOTH date fields, and are both
formatted to show up as day of month, and day of week, so the chart shows
all 31 days in January, and the days of the week associated with those
days. Since it is a blood pressure tracking workbook, info like that is
good to see when the user/patient/doctor wants to examine the data for a
trend or spike, etc.

I am trying to perfect it. 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). Your help has taught me a lot from what you have
given to what I picked up as I have been doing this exercise in error
abatement. :-)

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.

I showed an example that worked like this he

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.

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.

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.

"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?
