It defines the start and end points and also the color of lines. How can we create a chart that draws these lines with the right color while more points can be added?

Hi
Welcome to the board

The way I'd do it would be:

- add 1 series for each colour.
- define a dynamic named range for each series


If you don't have experience with dynamic charts (where you can add new points and it automatically adjusts) check here:

Thank you for the reply

i would like to add 1 series for each line with start point and end point or it will create lines i don't want.
But how can i do it with the layout? start x start y end x end y table???

Kind regards

Hi

Will your lines be continuous?

Like in your example the red goes from (0,0) to (0,1) and then continues from (0,1) to (1,1). There is no gap between the 2 segments.
Will it be always like this or can you have gaps in the lines?

 

[dalavouras]

there will be gap... that's why i want each line separeted..

The lines in your example overlap.

The first red segment overlaps the yellow and the second red segment overlaps the blue.
If the 2 segments overlap you'll only see 1 of them. Is this what you want?

To make a chart efficiently, your X values should be in a contiguous range and your Y values in another contiguous range. Yours are alternating between X and Y, so I've rearranged them in the table shown below. There is a block for each line segment, and I've shaded the first block. The labels Start, End, X, and Y are just for reference and are not used to chart the data.

To make the chart, select the first block (the highlighted one), and insert an XY chart, using the lines without markers option. This results in the top left chart.

Select and copy the second block, then select the chart, and use Paste Special to add the data to the chart as a new series, with data in columns, categories (X values) in the first column, and series names in the first row. This is the top right chart; note that I've replaced the chart title with a legend.

Repeat the copy/paste-special protocol with the other two blocks, to produce the bottom left chart. Note that I've switched the X and Y values for a couple points, because it looks like you want to draw a box, rather than two sets of coincident line segments.

Finally, color each series as desired, bottom right.

Hi

An alternative would be to build automatically an auxiliary table.
This auxiliary table would have a simple layout, 1 column for X's and 1 column for Y's of each series.
This allows you to easily add the series.

1 thing: since this auxiliary table is automatic (you use formulas to fill it), there would be the problem of the gaps.
Jon published a great solution with a small udf that takes care of that: replaces unwanted cells in a range with empty cells.

This would be an automatic solution that would allow you to add points and have the chart automatically update.

Remark: This would mean some work, if this is a 1 time job maybe it's not worth the effort

This is an example with your base table (with some more records added) and the auxiliary table:

Thank you for the response!
This is not a one time think and i do need it to automatically include more point. I am not sure how to create the auxiliary table though.
I 'll do a little research.

 

[pgc01]

For the example I posted, write the headers in H1:M2

and in H3:

=IFERROR(IF(MOD(ROWS(H$3:H3),3)=0,"",INDEX($B$3:$E$50,SMALL(IF($A$3:$A$50=H$1,ROW($A$3:$A$50)-ROW($A$3)+1),1+INT((ROWS(H$3:H3)-1)/3)),2*MOD(ROWS(H$3:H3)-1,3)+1+(H$2="Y"))),"")

This is an array formula, you have to confirm it with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER and not just ENTER.

Copy down and across

As you add new points to the base table you'll see them appearing automatically in this auxiliary table


Remark: As you see in the formula, I assumed that you might want to add points up to row 50. If you think you may expand the table further amend the formula.
