I have a set of Excel sheets that are outputs from different tests. There are 9 raw data files, and they are sequenced by when the test was conducted.

001_X_PreSine.xlsx
002_X_Random.xlsx
003_X_PostSine.xlsx
004_Y_PreSine.xlsx
005_Y_Random.xlsx
006_Y_PostSine.xlsx
007_Z_PreSine.xlsx
008_Z_Random.xlsx
009_Z_PostSine.xlsx

X, Y, and Z in the file names above will always be grouped together, but the letters could be in any order (X, Y, Z / X, Z, Y / Y, Z, X / etc.).

I want to take the data from the PreSine and PostSine files, which always starts on line 25 and ends on line 2024 of the first sheet and graph the data showing PreSine and PostSine for the same axis (X, Y, Z) in the same graph.

For the graphs, the X-values come from column B, and Y-values come from column G, I, K, and M. Data labels would be "Control", "X-Response", "Y-Response", and "Z-Response" with a prefix of either "Pre Sine" or "Post Sine" as appropriate.

Is it possible to program this by having all of the raw data files and summary file with graphs in the same folder?

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi *ThomasE and Welcome to the Board! I'm not following this... " but the letters could be in any order (X, Y, Z / X, Z, Y / Y, Z, X / etc.)". So they may be in any order but they need to be combined the same way? I'm not following the file numbering system (001, 002, 003, etc.)? Or.. You want to combine them in all different ways? What about the Random file results? You can chart arrays. It seems like you could load each sheet's data into a multi-dimensional array and then just chart the array data you want. Does each sheet contain the same number or data items/rows? U can have all files easily in the same folder location but what is the summary file? Is it the file that has the code and does the charting. Maybe a bit more info will get U started. HTH. Dave

@NdNoviceHlp Thank you for your reply. Let me see if I can clarify. A technician is going to run 9 tests for a piece of hardware. The sequence is PreSine, Random, and PostSine for each of the 3 orthogonal axes (X, Y, Z). The customer will define which axis is tested 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, so that each set of 3 tests could be any combination of X, Y, Z, BUT they will always be a set.

PreSine X
Random X
PostSine X
PreSine Y
Random Y
PostSine Y
PreSine Z
Random Z
PostSine Z

or it could be something like

PreSine Y
Random Y
PostSine Y
PreSine X
Random X
PostSine X
PreSine Z
Random Z
PostSine Z

etc.

To keep track of all of the tests, the technician adds a suffix in the sequence they were done: 001-009 and the data from each of the 9 tests is output by the program into an Excel file. That Excel file for the PreSine and PostSine tests has exactly the same number of columns and rows.

What I want to do is automatically create a comparative graph of the PreSine and PostSine data (which I am now realizing did not upload properly in my original post - see new attachment). I am envisioning that I would have a new Excel file that can sort through the other 9 files in the folder, pick out the PreSine and PostSine files and overlay the data in 3 separate graphs for X, Y, and Z.

At the moment, I create a new Excel document in the same location as the raw data files, create a chart, and then individually open each raw data file and select the Frequency column (B25:B2024) and corresponding Amplitude column (G25:2024; I25:I2024; K25:K2024; or M25:M2024) for each data set.

Sorry, not seeing a place to edit my message. The new Excel document would have 3 graphs like the one I had in my last post. Data for PreSine and PostSine in a single graph for each of the orthogonal axes (X, Y, Z).

Seems like snow and blizzard for a few days so I'll mess around with some code for you. If you could post a data file on this site without any other info it would be immensely helpful. I think I have a grasp of your objective but I'd like to further understand it. The chart shows a PreSine control... is this the Random file and if not what's up with the Random file? 3 separate charts for each group of nine (X,X,Z)... OK. Do you have a folder location to use/create ie. ("C:\Testfolder\")? Will there only be 9 files and the summary file there? If not, how to group/ID the 9 related files in the folder? Dave

The Random file is more of confirmation that the specific test was done and is available for review in detail if there is an anomaly.

The test software generates a graph for all of the tests, but the critical thing is checking if the PreSine and PostSine data are different, thus the overlays - this indicates if something went wrong with the unit under test. For whatever reason, the test software does not automatically do this. Maybe providing more detail than you want, but this is for vibration testing - the setup is 1 single axis accelerometer (control) that tells the software/hardware what g-force to impart and 1 triaxial response accelerometer (X, Y, Z) mounted on the unit under test that measures what is happening in all 3 axes during the test. PreSine and PostSine are low level g-accelerations and the Random is a test that imparts the full expected g-accelerations (much more violent). If something breaks on the unit under test during the random test, you can see this in the data overlays.

For file location, I can use a location on my C:\ to process, if that is easiest, but it will ultimately go onto a SharePoint location. The only files in the folder will be the 9 files and the summary file.

Thank you so much for your help! Hopefully you weather the blizzard well!

Quick question. Are the "X" (column "B") values always the same for all files or does each file (X_pre-sine, X_post-sine, Y_presine, Y_Postsine, etc) each have a unique set of "X" values? I'll assume that each file has it's own set of "X" values but it would be easier if they all happen to be the same. Weather update, it's not below zero yet so it's just raining crazy until about 2hrs from now when the weather prognosticators say it's going to start snowing and blowing for at least the next 2 days.

It appears that the X values will always be the same after checking a few files - I did not think of that. I can see that making it easier.

Sounds like a grand time with the weather. Hello winter!

Weather update... it turned to snow and the power went out. Hooray! Finally a chance to be a family hero. I purchased a generator and had my house wired about 3 years ago and finally now have a chance to use it for an extended interval. I wired the important stuff: some plugs and lights, fridges, tv, pc's and internet. So still quite comfy. I just about have some code ready for you to trial which I'll post after a bit more testing. Just wondering, it's fairly easy to have just 1 chart and place either the X, Y or Z axis test on it rather than having 3 charts. What would you prefer? Ah CRAP... the power just came back on. So much for the herodom. Dave

I've got some code ready to trial but it only uses 1 chart... can be adapted to 3 charts if preferred. To start, create a new wb in your Testfolder location that has the data files. Insert a blank scatter chart with smooth lines ("Chart 1"), copy and paste the following code (either to sheet or module code) and then save your file with whatever name as a .xlsm file.
VBA Code:

Seems like it works but it's hard to tell with only a small portion of data from 1 file. It's still mid blizzard here so I'll likely be able to make any revisions as required. Dave
