Hi,
According to your description, I guess that you want change vertical axis from 100 like this screenshot. If so, you can right-click the axis, change Axis Options.
I can’t access your picture, please upload your example to OneDrive and share the link here.

Powershell Excel Chart - change series colors

I have a Powershell script that reads values from an Excel sheet and then creates a chart based on the values. The script works but I want to change the colors of the series in the bar chart. In VB (using an Excel macro) the code is as follows:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(7).Select
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(17, 17, 17)
.Solid
End With
Based on what I read Powershell doesn't process RGB colors so I tried using one of the default colors:
$wb.ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(5).Format.Fill.ForeColor = "black"
Whatever variation on this I try seems to make no difference to the color of the bar chart series values. Is it even possible to change the colors with Powershell?

Hi,
Based on my research, the below code should be used to change chart forecolor, please give it a try:
$chart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 255
More details please go through the below link:

Change the x-axis series in excel chart

Hi,
While plotting an Excel chart using ExcelRpt_ChartWizard(), the x - axis series starts from 0, 1, 2, 3... I like to change the series according to the data present in a particular column. Eg. If column 2 contains 2, 5, 7, 6.2... then the x-axis should be in the order 2, 5, 7, 6.2.....
Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

Hi,
Many thanks for this post, It's been quite helpful since there seems no to be so much info available about not so basic generation and manipulation of excels graphs with LabWindows (at least compared to C#).
I am struggling to set my own X-Axis as well but the best I can get is the graph looking like the one of the attached file.
The first row for the X-Axis is 11:47:00 and the last one is 17:46:25, however I get a graph between 0:00:00 and 19:12:00.
May thanks,
Best regards

2 Vertical Axis Chart & State Change Bug - Clarified

When a column or line chart has 2 vertical axis (one on the left and one on the right), the additional vertical axis must be defined at the series level as the definition at the chart level only allows for one vertical axis.
When you define the additional vertical axis at the series level, it will populate on the chart when the chart is first rendered. But, it fails to populate after a state change.   This is apparently due to the fact that the “maximum” property on the additional vertical axis defined at the series level changes to 100 causing the line not to render as the data values are greater than 100.
This is a Flex 4 problem. Flex 3 does not have this problem.
Below is an example application that demonstrates the problem.
The example first presents a chart with Gross Sales plotted as columns using the left axis and Net Sales plotted as a line using the right axis. Note, the vertical axis for Net Sales is defined at the series level.
When you click the “Data” button a state change occurs and a data grid is presented showing Gross Sales and Net Sales. When you click the “Chart” button another state change occurs and the chart is presented again. Gross Sales will still populate, but Net Sales fails to populate. This is the problem.

I found a workaround.
When the chart goes through a state change, the “maximum” property on the additional vertical axis defined at the series level defaults to 100 causing the line not to render as the data values are greater than 100. Setting this to a higher value (maximum="10000" ) forces the line to appear consistently after a state change.
I still believe this is a bug.
The downside is that I will have to dynamically determine the maximum value to use at runtime, but at least I can still use state changes on two vertical axis charts.

2 Vertical Axis Chart & State Change Bug

When a column or line chart has 2 vertical axis (one on the left and one on the right), the additional vertical axis must be defined at the series level as the definition at the chart level only allows for one vertical axis.
When you define the additional vertical axis at the series level, it will populate on the chart when the chart is first rendered. But, it fails to populate after a state change.
This problem does not occur if the data provider uses static data defined in Action Script as an array collection. But, the problem always occurs if the data provider uses a web service.
This is a Flex 4 problem. Flex 3 does not have this problem.
Below is an example that will demonstrate the problem. It uses the Flex Grocer web service that comes on the CD with Jeff Tapper’s book “Adobe FLEX 3 Training from the Source” (an Adobe Press book). However, this example can be easily modified to use any web service.
The example is currently pointing to static data defined in Action Script.
You can switch from static data to web service data by commenting the instruction on line 32 ( dp = dpStatic; ) and un-commenting the instruction on line 33 ( dp = (event.result as ArrayCollection); ).
The example first presents a chart with Gross Sales plotted as columns using the left axis and Net Sales plotted as a line using the right axis. Note, the vertical axis for Net Sales is defined at the series level.
When you click the “Data” button a state change occurs and a data grid is presented showing Gross Sales and Net Sales. When you click the “Chart” button another state change occurs and the chart is presented again. If you are pointing to static data, both Gross Sales and Net Sales will populate on the chart. If you are pointing to web service data, Gross Sales will still populate, but Net Sales fails to populate. This is the problem.
Does anyone have a solution or work around for this problem?

Charts: Gap between Vertical Axis and the chart area

Friends,
I have a really wierd issue and I am sure I am doing
something wrong.
I am trying to align 2 charts that are placed vertically. I
want to align the left vertical axis and the gridlines within them.
Aligning the left vertical axis is easy and done but aligning the
grids is becoming challenging and I have already spent a few hours
on this problem.
Here is a wrong chart image ...
Wrong
chart image
The line of the LineChart (in the top chart) is touching the
left and right edges where as the bottom chart bars do not touch
the left/right edges. Due to this the gridlines are not aligned.
I had managed to solve this problem but I am not sure what
part of the code solved the problem. Here is the right chart image:
Right
chart image
In this chart, the line of the linechart (in the top chart)
is not touching the left and right boundary hence the gridlines are
alignd with each other.
I wonder what property of the chart controls the series
touching the left/right vertical axis or boundary. Your help is
appreciated.
Thanks

here is some more information ...
I started changing some of the properties of the chart which
I mentioned is a RIGHT CHART and this is what I learnt ...
It was a CartesianChart hence it was creating the gap
between the left/right vertical axis and the actual chart area
(refer to the right chart image).
I changed it to a LineChart and it started behaving like the
chart in the WRONG CHART image.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Pivot chart vertical axis label show percentage

Hi All,
I have a pivot chart showing percentage of the row. the vertical axis label can only show 0, 1, 2; I change it to specify value with 'Minimum' 0 and 'Maximum' 1.
Wondering how to show vertical axis label with minimum 0% and maximum 100%, instead of 0 and 1.
Thank you,
Ling

Hi lets try once like this,
In Pivot table go to edit view-Position-Graph only-Edit graph properties-click on scale tab-Axis Limits-in drop down list select specify. Here u can select minimum and maximum scale.

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Excel chart - create second axis

I've created a script which makes an Excel object, takes some data, generates a chart and then exports the chart as a JPG. The thing is it's a CPU report with one series for Mhz and one for % - and using only one axis results in it ending in the thousands
and not being able to see the second series. Do you know how to specify a second axis on the right-hand side (left for Mhz right for %) which would only go up to 100? I don't even know how to do it in Excel, never mind PowerShell.
Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, here's my code:
# Generate graph
$xRow = 1
$yRow = $rows
$objRange=$Worksheet.range("a${xRow}:c${yRow}")
$colCharts=$excel.Charts
$objChart=$colCharts.Add()
$objChart.ChartType=4
$objChart.Axes(0).CategoryType=2
$objChart.Axes(0).TickLabelSpacing=7
$objChart.HasTitle = $true
$objChart.ChartTitle.text = "CPU Report"
$a=$objChart.Activate
$savepath = "C:\"
$a=$objChart.export($savepath + "cpu.jpg","JPG")

Hi Bobbinspenguin,
If you want to add a second series in Excel chart with powershell, please refer to this article:
Tutorial: PowerShell and Microsoft Chart Controls (or How To Spice Up Your Reports)
I hope this helps.

Vertical axis labels on column chart

I'm trying to get the x-axis labels oriented vertically on a 3D column chart, so that the labels don't overlap each other. With 2D column charts I can do this via "format>chart>format x-axis" but these options are grayed out with the 3D column chart. Is there any way to get vertical orientation on the axis labels with this chart type???

It's usually not necessary to make the axis labels vertical to keep them from overlapping in a 3D chart since when you rotate the chart the labels are vertically offset. But you're right, there's no other control for this.

Numbers for ipad: turn text on vertical axis

Can I turn print on the vertical axis?I want to type something in spreadsheet and turn it 90 degrees instead of squashing print together so the letters are above each other the right way up. eg: if I type " Apple ", can I rotate the complete word 90 degrees so I can read the word if I rotated the ipad if the rotate lock is on?I want to use this for bar graphs where there is no room to type normal way up

For future reference, there is an area for iOS apple apps, including iWork and Numbers. You will usually get more answers in the proper location for the topic.
oh, btw, yeah James is right, no way right now to rotate text. unless its in a stand alone text box.

Conditional formatting a graph vertical axis in SSRS 2012 charts

Hi,
I have a situation where i want to color the label on vertical axis of graph depending on certain condition. Say when values are positive the color would be Black and when negative color would be Red.
I tried following condition but its not working.
=iif(Fields!MyField.Value < 0 , "Red", "Black")
I know there are few threads already mentioning that this feature is not supported in SSRS 2008 but just wanted to know if its adddressed in SSRS 2012 or later?
Thanks and Regards,
Oliver D'mello

Hi Oliver,
According to your description, you want to use an expression to specify different color for Axis Labels based on values in a chart.
As we tested in our environment, when we apply condition in expression to give dynamic color for Axis Labels, the color setting applies to all labels based on the condition. This issue happens in both SQL Server 2012 and 2014. Please refer to the screenshots
below:
In this scenario, I would recommend you submit this issue to the Microsoft Connect at this link

Excel Acrobat 8 CHANGES NUMBERS bad bookmarks

I have an excel document with 88 tabs. I want each tab to be a bookmark. This is important financial company information. When I convert this to a pdf it completely changes the numbers! This is absolutely beyond me. Not only does it change numbers in the document but it assigns bookmarks to random pages.
Also, there are about 3 or 4 ways to create a pdf with Acrobat 8. Each way seems to have different quirks and gives different errors.
ANY IDEA??? you can email me directly if you want at [email address deleted by host]

I don't think it makes a difference. An Adobe engineer has confirmed that this doc has revealed a bug in both Acrobat Pro 8 and 9.

Charting: vertical axis position

Hi!
I need to manually position the vertical axis along the chart by setting the verticalAxisRenderer.x value.
If I do that, it seem like chart compoenent automatically correncts the axis to be on the left side.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion but I need to position the axis anywhere like axis.x=500;
I was playing arround for a few hours and so far I have came to the following solution which looks promising so far:
I created a custom axis renderer which extends AxisRenderer. Then I tricked the chart component that it cannot set the x value of the axisRenderer.
So.. if anyone come the the same problem in the future, this might be a solution.
package si.catalina.qos.views.reports.charts.cartesianChart
    import mx.charts.AxisRenderer;
    public class CustomPositionAxisRenderer extends AxisRenderer
        private var _xValue:Number=0;
        public function CustomPositionAxisRenderer()
            super();
        override public function set x(value:Number):void
            _xValue=value;
        override public function get x():Number
            return _xValue;
        public function set xValue(value:Number):void
            _xValue=value;
        override public function move(x:Number, y:Number):void
            super.move(_xValue,y);

Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications. Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened. How can I save this file?

oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did). luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact. even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting. perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there. (though perhaps i have had other things... )
thanks for the attempts to help!
