Excel multiple dynamic graphs

Question

I have a series of data which I\'d like to plot into a few graphs. The data is ordered by date and extracted data tagged with a TRUE condition next to it based on prior cond

Answer 1

This is doable. Creating charts dynamically is one of those routines that you should put away in a library for future reference. I have done so and the code is below. The code will create a chart based on x/y ranges and a location. The location allows the charts to be arranged in a grid as they are created. You will have to wrangle your ranges so that you can give the sub below the inputs it needs. This should just be a matter of iterating through and tracking which charts to create.

The only key steps to this are using ChartObjects.Add to create a new chart (with positioning data) and then SeriesCollection.NewSeries to add a series to the chart.

You can call this code several times with location incrementing to create the charts you want and put them in the grid.

Sub CreateChartFromRange(xval As Range, yval As Range, location As Integer)

    Dim height As Double, width As Double
    height = 300
    width = 300

    Dim columns As Integer
    columns = 3

    'assume active sheet
    Dim cht_obj As ChartObject
    Set cht_obj = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add( _
        (location Mod columns) * width, _
        (location \ columns) * height, _
        width, _
        height)

    Dim ser As Series
    Set ser = cht_obj.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries

    ser.Values = yval
    ser.XValues = xval

    'assume XY scatter type
    ser.ChartType = xlXYScatter

End Sub
