Find and replace should work with charts too, both with text shapes and with the series' formulas. This is a major time saver for editing many series' at once.

Jon Peltier made an addin that implements this: http://peltiertech.com/change-series-formula-improved-routines/.

Extend the ability already in Power View and 3D Map/Power Map to 'play' all charts using a time/date field. The Timeiline Slcer looks as though it could be an ideal way of doing this - just by adding the ability to play through the selected time increments in the Slicer.

It appears when the range of data in a chart is huge, providing a scrollbar can be a handy option to scroll through big data in a user friendly way (without going through sizing -resizing again). If you can provide this option with charts (and thus in VBAs), it will be a handy feature to work with !

Could you make the MODE function work for text?
Currently you have to do a crazy index and lookup thing, which could all be made so much easier if mode worked for text. i.e., if you have MODE("a", "b", "c", "a") you would get "a".

Please provide a way to add labels automatically to scatterplots. It would be great if you could add a third dimension of data that would be text labels for scatterplots.

Add a 'series description' option when creating a series. Then when adding the legend you can select to use the series name or series description as the legend. Would be useful when using data labels that need the series name shortening in some graphs - the legend then acts as a key

Instead of fixed legends, please allow the user to create a dynamic legend, so that if there are no values for a particular category, the legend does not show up for that category.

In corporate world generally powerpoint presentations are used because they give option of animations.

in excel it is possible to do with VBA (to some extent) but still its very hard.

If it could be made possible to give animations in Charts/ areas (A1:G7) / Name ranges, it would be very useful for presenting data.

thanks for the forum. its really great. :)

1) Allow multiple data labels/ bars to be selected simultaneously for editing/formatting or movement
2) Allow a specific data point/ bar of a chart to be used for individual hyperlinking

I would like to have custom tool tips for a chart. I have hidden the x axis labels and added some data labels and would like the tool top to display the data label text instead of the x axis label text. I have exported the chart from a vb.net winform app but have been told that this currently isn't possible and advised to post on here!

Since graphs series cannot contain formulas, if you want to make a graph dynamic, you must use a name (in the Name Manager sense) that contains a formula that determines the dynamic range.

However, if that name uses structured references, then when you save and reopen the file, Excel will crash and the workbook will be unusable to Excel.

To see what I mean, download this workbook:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/a2681miflhdjxep/Graph_Crash.xlsb
Right-click on the graph and go Select Data. Edit Series1 and change its series values to read "=s!y" (without quotes). Save, close, reopen, crash.

In order to insert an image from hardcopy material it is necessary to scan the material to a graphic file and then insert the graphic. It would save time and effort to insert an image directly from a scanner. For example, I scan invoices and cash register receipts from individuals to insert into a voucher for authorization to cut a check for reimbursement to the individual.

Pivot Chart option to auto resize to show all labels as slicers change the data

Hi, I use Vari-wide or Marimekko charts quite frequently and find this to be a major pain in Excel. There are ways to work this in using Area charts and additional rows and formulas for formatting, but it takes a while. Further, it often doesn't allow a linear chart based on my values unless I change the axis to dates, and cheat the formatting to show non date numbers...

It would be great if this could be built in, or at least be made easier (by not having to change the x-axis to dates)

(2015-11-05 Dan [MS] recategorized to Charting)

Make it possible to select the chart x-axis to auto align or always align to zero or always zoom only on the data somewhere in the y axis.

adding graphs from other sites that would usually fit in a word document to an excel document. Or the ability to attach a word tab to an excel document.

Once data is charted on map drag the mouse over an area to select just the results in that area. Would be useful for CRM marketing campaigns etc.
