Charting 2 pivot data items as one result
I have a pivot table that has a Count of Tools and a
count of plants. What I want to chart is the result of the Count of Tools/Count of Plants. I tried using formulas from the PivotTable tools but I can't seem to make it work. I hate to think that I have to write the code to read the pivot table and place the valuse in cells below the pivot table then chart that range. Thanks for the help. Scott |

Scott -
You wouldn't need VBA code to do this. If you know the structure of your pivot table, you can put a formula in a cell or cells outside the pivot table to give you this value. Make a regular chart, not a pivot chart. You can't add data outside of the pivot table to the pivot chart, and you can't do a lot of formatting to a pivot chart, either. But you can add pivot table data to a non pivot chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Scott Stewart wrote: I have a pivot table that has a Count of Tools and a count of plants.

Charting 2 pivot data items as one result
I have to use a pivot table because the data comes from a
sheet with tons of data. In my code I create a chart, but it defaults to a pivot chart. I have code that reads the pivot table and calculates the values I want and when I try setting the range into the chart source I get an error saying I cannot change the Pivot Data. I don't want to. Either show me what you are saying with an example or can you tell me how to set the chart sourcedata. Either way I would greatly appreciate your help. Here is my code: arange is a type. In a previous routine I create a range of data from the pivot table and save the range info. Sub BuildEAToolChart(ByRef aRange As ThisRange) Dim wksht As Worksheet Set wksht = Worksheets("EA Tools") Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=wksht.Range (wksht.Cells(aRange.StartRow, aRange.StartCol), wksht.Cells(aRange.LastRow, aRange.LastCol)), _ PlotBy:=xlRows ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="EA Tools" With ActiveChart .HasTitle = True .ChartTitle.Text = "% Of Events with E&AT Report" .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "% Events" End With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue) .MinimumScaleIsAuto = True .MaximumScale = 1 .MinorUnitIsAuto = True .MajorUnitIsAuto = True .Crosses = xlAutomatic .ReversePlotOrder = False .ScaleType = xlLinear .DisplayUnit = xlNone End With Selection.TickLabels.NumberFormat = "0%" End Sub -----Original Message----- Scott - You wouldn't need VBA code to do this.

Charting 2 pivot data items as one result
I fixed it by setting a range to the "aRange" parameters,
then I called the Charts.Add. This allowed the chart to be referenced to the selected area of the page. I was able to set the sourceData and it worked fine.

Charting 2 pivot data items as one result
Hi All,
I also have the same issue.. I have a query on Pivot Table and pivot chart. In our application, We draw a pivot table for which a chart also is displayed .I use the same process as in MS BI Portal. I need to show some extra fields in the pivot chart which will not be displayed in pivot Table like I have Product sales in pivot table but sales, profit will come in Pivot chart.Is it possible. I supply XML for Chart separately and Pivot Table separately.. And when user changes the Chart I have to check the present XML of Pivot chart and change the Pivot Chart format also accordingly. I hope to capture one event (Query..?) I think there is another approach also.I just draw two Pivot tables.One with the Table's requirement.Other with The chart requirement. and make the dummy Pivot table (created just for chart ) as source of Pivot table..and make this dummy one as invisible..(Is it possible..Once I assign the data source THe visibility property does not work..???) Thanx Jegan Is it possible..Plz throw some light |
