Thanks again.

Sample Parallel Coordinate Chart – Question(s)

Unfortunately, I know enough to be dangerous. I have around 70 items in the table. The data values varies quite a bit and I have to use a log scale for the axis. I modified a macro to change all the line colors to a muted color. Actually, the macro was written by you for another purpose.

Sub FormatLinez() < — my change
Dim srs As Series
For Each srs In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
srs.Border.Weight = xlThin
srs.Border.Color = RGB(236, 236, 236) < — my change
Next
End Sub

The ActiveX listbox works great. One of my earlier problems was I failed to turnoff Design Mode after building the table. My match and Index statements work correctly. My problem is NO chart line for the selected item. Hopefully, you can point me in the right direction.

One more thing, where do you set the data labels for the line?

Thanks again

In this example I used a listbox from the Controls Toolbox. This places the selected list item in the linked cell. You need to use a MATCH function to get the index.

A listbox from the Forms Toolbar will place the index of the selected item in the linked cell. Use the control’s linked cell directly in the INDEX function, rather than the cell with the MATCH function.

I am trying to do something similar to your sample. However, what I receive in the linked cell(a2) is an index number. The match statement in a3 then fails unable to find a match. Is there a property that needs to be turned on for the list box to return a value instead of an index number?

Thanks

Using different scores can be problematic. It is important to ensure that those reading the chart are aware of the different scales.

In order for the different measures to fill the whole Y axis range, you could normalize the scores for each category, where the plotted score

Z = (Y – Ymin)/(Ymax-Ymin)

ranges from 0 to 1.

thanks
