Hello all

My question is related to charting a set of data in a specific way that I can clarify as we go on, but the jist of it is included below,

I am in a bit of a pickle with a task I have to convert some MATLAB code into VBA. Usually my methodology to do this is to develop each chart individually and manually, then convert to VBA. I am at a loss as to where to start with one specific implementation of the data.

The type of chart I need to make contains a timeline. This timeline is tied to individual actors taking certain actions, in that the chart will be plotted as time vs actor/action. The actions that each individual can take are 4 discrete types, but they are tied to the timeline and actor in such a way that I cannot get it to work. I have attached a jpeg of how the chart will display, as my explanation is likely not clear. Some other lesser limitations that may be sticking points in the future, but i dont care about right now:

  • I only need the top "X" number of actors, say 20, that take the most amount of actions.
  • I am not sure what future data would like but it appears that each actor can only take one action type
  • larger datasets as time goes on
Things I have tried on my real time data:

  • Creating pivot table with date as the x and actor as y then creating a pivot chart.
  • Creating pivot table with date as the x and actor as y then creating a scatter chart various ways.
  • Filtering the dataset and creating a milestone chart.

I guess if this cannot be answered a fallback would be for guidance on what type of chart to research, an approach to display in multiple charts, the most I can get in a single chart (A fallback solution may be if we only filter by one action type, which I likewise cannot seem to get to work). I am unsure if this is a limitation on excel.
