Change color of series in Charts to custom colors - error in macro generated by Excel

The case:
Excel 2013, Multiple cheets with multiple charts of different type. Several charts doesn't show well will the defaut color automatically generated by Excel. -> The idea is to modify these graphics only with a specific color combination (modifying the
color of the series)
I'm able to modify the color of each series of 1 chart using the UI. but there are many charts so doing them with a simple macro would speed these repeative steps.
I turned on the macro recording to capture the change of the color of a selected serie in a selected chart.
The generated code is:
    ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(1).Select
    With Selection.Format.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorAccent3
        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
        .ForeColor.Brightness = -0.25
        .Transparency = 0.3000000119
        .Solid
    End With
When I execute the macro, Excel trigger an error:
Execution error -2147467259 (80004005)
method "Fill" of object "ChartFormat" has failed   (this is a translated error message, as I run a french version)
Any idea why Excel cannot run its own generated code ?
Thanks in advance.

Very surprisingly the following code (also generated by the macro recording) works ok.
(I selected the serie inside the chart instead of selecting the serie in the legend)
    ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Select
    With Selection.Format.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = msoThemeColorAccent3
        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
        .ForeColor.Brightness = -0.25
        .Transparency = 0.3000000119
        .Solid
    End With
If an MVP or Microsoft official come accross this, I suggest further testing as it is very likely a bug (with the first set of code generated by Excel)

Script to change colors of Illustrator shapes based on excel data?

Hi. My Problem: I have a list of names in excel and I would like each name to correspond to a given color. And I have the same number of shapes in Illustrator which I would like the color fill to match those names/colors from my excel file. Is this possible with an easy script?

There is an Illustrator scripting forum… Hardly anyone in it but it does exist… It 'may' be possible without script… If not it 'should' be possible with script… Look at data sets first…

Dynamic change color of series in line chart

Hi
I would like to be able to dynamically change the color of the individual series in a line chart, based on user preference. It works excellent having dynamic labels on the series using the &item. syntax and a before header computation.
The same approach for the color does not seem to work. I get errors like undefined entity....
Any ideas?

Need to change colors of lines in an Omniportlet Line Chart

I am running Oracle Portal on a 10g Web server. I have created an Omniportlet and I am displaying data in a line chart. Is it possible for me to define the colours of the lines in the linechart?

Hi I didn't changed colors in line chart but I managed to redesign lot of omniportlets.
What you can do is to re-define CSS.
Add an HTML portlet in your page with some CSS embedded.
To catch wich class are to be re defined, I recommand you to use firefox with the extension Webdevelopper.
Use the "Informations - display element information" functionnality to catch wich class are used for your chart.
Then redefine those classes in your custom CSS.
Hope that will help

Change color palette of combination chart

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a problem when trying to change to color palette of a combination chart.
According to the api there should be a method setColorPalette(aColorPalette) and a property colorPalette;
(JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.viz.ui5.types.Combination)
when I try to call this method I receive the following error:
TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'setColorPalette'
I introduced the combination chart before by calling jQuery.sap.require("sap.viz.ui5.types.Combination"); outside of the controller;
I also tried to add the porperty colorPalette in xml, but it seems to be ignored.
Has anyone an idea on what the reason could be?
Best regards,
Benedikt

Hi Benedikt,
you can find below working code of changing color palette of chart.
This is based on pie chart but accordingly you can use for combination chart.

Change color in BusinessGraphic

I have a businessgraphic in a webdynpro with chartType u2018pieu2019.
There are two categories in the graphic.
I need specific colors for each category. Itu2019s possible to change the color in customizing with the Color Palette but not with a specific color.
Is there a possibility to choose your own color for each category?
Thanks in advance.

When I click on Edit Customizing for my chart, the customizing editor comes up. Under Series, there are listed the different series IDs you have defined. Under Area Properties there is a color property. You can choose a color from the pallet. If you want to enter a specific RGB color code, just choose anything form the pallet first. This will enter the RGB values you selected. then you can click in the field (not on the arrow - that would bring up the pallet again) and manually change any of the numeric RGB values.

Dynamically Changing Number of Channels in Chart

Hi,
I have a simple question about a labview programming issue. I am
trying to modify an NI Example program for demonstrational purposes.
I am using the Multi-plot real-time chart example program (link below)
from the NI website. I have changed your example for the chart to
display the data in the stacked plot mode. How could I modify it to
vary the number of traces dynamically. Is this possible? My goal
would be to use a series or radio buttons to control viewing 4, 8 or
16 channels, in real time. All of the code and programs I have seen
have channel display statically in the begining setup. Is there a
property node of the chart that controls this?
Thanks
John

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

Adding new data to update multiple series in charts - in one action

I would like to know how to update a data series range in a chart all at once as can be achieved with Excel by
manually entering row numbers to expand the data series range or
by dragging a reference frame in a table to include additional data in the range.
At present, the only way that I have discovered I can update a series is to manually change the cell reference detail for each series individually. This is achieved by selecting a single line and clicking several times on the Data reference cell in the Inspector Chart option by highlighting the cell reference details and then manually changing the cell reference for each series separately. This is tedious, time consuming and more than a little clumsy! What used to take me a few minutes to update my charts in Excel is taking me tens of minutes in Numbers.

Unless I'm misreading this, similar techniques work in Numbers.
The original table contained only the sequential labels in column A and the data shown on the upper chart.
I made two changes, similar to those in your list (but in the opposite order, hence the reversal in my numbering):
2. Added data to cells B11:B15 (labeled J-N). (The data added is a copy of the first five data from the original series.) Selected the chart, then expanded the data series by dragging the control (small circle) down to include these cell (plus B16) in the charted range. The chart updated to include this data.
1. Selected B11:B15, then went Table > Add Rows Below (keyboard shortcut: option-down arrow). Numbers added five rows to the table, and updated the chart to include those rows, as shown in the lower version of the chart. Paste the data into these new rows to add it to the chart.
Although I had selected rows inside the charted range when adding new rows (to keep that "O" label on the x axis and show the 'space' before it), the five rows could as easily have been added to the end of the chart. Select B12:B16, press option-down arrow.

How to create a radio button that changes colors

I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
Any ideas?

I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

How do I get a field to automatically select a value and change color based on another automatic field?

Here is the situation:
I have a row on a form called Finding Risk Rating. In this row are four fields: Probability, Severity, Risk Rating, Color.
Probability is a drop down menu with the following values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Severity is a drop down menu with the following values: A, B, C, D, E
Risk Rating is a field that I have a custom calculation script:
var riskRating = this.getField("Probability").value+this.getField("Severity").value;
event.value = riskRating;
So, when I pick Probability = 1 and Severity = D, Risk Rating will automatically change to 1D, etc. This works fine on the surface as far as I can tell.
The part where I am stuck, is the fourth field Color.
Ideally, I want Color to be automatically populated depending on the value of Risk Rating. For example, for 1E I would want it to say "YELLOW" and the field to change color to yellow. For 1A it would be "GREEN" with the color green, etc.
I tried doing an if else for all cases, but it never refreshes to the correct value. I then checked using app.alert to see what fields riskRating and colorRank are (see code below), and I noticed that riskRating never changes, even though the value in Risk Rating changes. Is there a way to order script(s) so that if I execute one, the other will follow? I'm new to scripting for forms and haven't done any programming in 10+ years, so feel free to rip my code in favor or something more efficient, or direct me to a good resource I can learn from.
Here's the basis of what I have for scripting on Color. It's brief because I wanted to test it out before writing every 'if else' statement.
var colorRank;
var riskRating = this.getField("Risk Rating").value;
if (riskRating = "1E") colorRank = "YELLOW";
else if (riskRating = "1A") colorRank = "GREEN";
else if (riskRating = "5A") colorRank = "RED";
event.value = colorRank;
app.alert("colorRank = " + colorRank + ", riskRating = " + riskRating);
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

One problem is if more than one combo box item has the same number associated with it, you cannot simply set the export value to the corresponding number since they need to be unique (or the user interface behaves weird). One thing you can do is set up an object to associate a list item with a value, and look up the value in code when a list item is selected.
For more information, see: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle

How can I change the font within a chart in an ibook

I need to change the font size in a chart that is in an iBook because it is so small I can't read any of it. When I try pressing the larger/smaller font buttons, the text outside the chart changes but not within the chart.

Use the SeriesCollection(1).Name function. In LV, wire up the following:
_Chart into Method SeriesCollection (index = 1 to 4)
Cascade into Variant to Data (wire type Excel.Series)
Wire Series into Property Name, Write the string
