I want to show data for 4 weeks on a Google Sheets chart.
I have tried to do this and it is mostly ok as this is correct:
The X-axis shows the days of the week
The Y-axis is the weight number
Issues I have with my current implementation are:
I had to make a separate series for each week when I wanted it automatically group the data by week number. (I then can't name each series)
The data is off by one day. Monday's data doesn't show which means Tuesday's data is showing in place of Monday and so on.
Here is a link to the google sheet and a screenshot below: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/147RMW2JE7MoWz53EZuB-nHj-p_xeKez_ze_0mqq8NGA/edit?usp=sharing
My expected result would look more like this:
Here the lines are shown grouped by each week AND data is shown for each day
The reason why you are missing the first day of every week is that you have checked the Use row 1 as heeaders so every series will remove the first datapoint (monday in your case) and insert it as the label for that series (you can see that in the legend).
If you uncheck that checkbox and change your range for the X-axis so it goes from Monday to Sunday you get the correct graph.
The problem with the previous graph is that although all its datapoints are correct there is no legend. But unfortunately there is no way to insert a legend easily because you cannot go and change this manually, the label for each series has to come from the cells.
What you can do to work around this limitation is change your data so the label for each series sits on top of your data and keep the Use row x as headers checked:
Of course this is not the only solution, you can go on multiple ways here, copy the table in a single sheet for every week, or just live without labels. Stack the weeks horizontally so everyone has its week number on top of the weight column, etc

I have a sheet that automatically pulls in order numbers every month, and a chart to show the trendline. I have formatted the future months because I want the chart to be automatically updated. But the value of the order numbers for future months in currently 0 and that messes with my chart. I want those to be hidden from my chart, so that the chart only runs to the last month.
Example sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11FOBKKfxY-usK5aGjrc8KpoiYeMgXrb3apzfYrpoaUg/edit?usp=sharing
added a solution in your sheet here:
you can filter the data first and use those columns as data source for the graph. the formula auto-updates until previous month stats. and also you can just hide those columns since you have the primary A,B columns in visibility.
=filter(A:B,EOMONTH(A:A,0)<=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1))
I'm trying to make a file to track the time I study a certain subject:
I would like now to make a chart with all the values (that in this case are durations) in the B, C and D columns, but I don't really understand how to do it. When I select the cells and click "create chart" it does the following:
which is obiously wrong. If i remove "date" from the "series list" in the settings of the chart above i get the following:
But I don't understand what this represent. How can I do this? Please keep it simple.. This is the first time for me using google sheets
Ps i just realized that that kind of format specifies a time (2am, 3am etc) and not a duration. Is there any format that indicate a duration?
Here is what to do:
1.) Select all of your time columns entirely within the spreadsheet itself (not the graph). Using your posted setup, that would be Col-B, Col-C, Col-D. To do this, just click on the "B" at the top of Col-B, hold down the mouse and drag right to Col-D, then release. If you have more columns than these that will record durations for classes, select those as well.
2.) From the main menu, choose **Format > Number > Custom number format > **. In the field at the top, enter this format: [h]:mm
The second chart in your post is actually correct. It's just showing your durations as the decimal percentage of a full day on the Y-axis. The steps above should cause the chart to adjust to showing durations.
I would like to add a Viz into a Tooltip to compare the value in a specific week with values from other years. When I do that, the Tooltip only shows 1 value from 1 year only, not the other years.
Here is the Viz I want to include.
But only 1 value gets shown.
How can I achieve this effect? Here is a link to the Tableau data: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tzM8HAcMjyz3RiSzllBH5UU2JJvP9yV5/view
Corrections to your existing sheets.
Starting with Sheet 2 (Week wise plot):
Drag Date to columns, Value to rows.
Breakdown Date hierarchy to 'DAY' by hitting the + and remove Quarter and Month.
Change the DAY to Week Number from drop down menu on DAY tab.
Drag down the Week tab to rows now.
Drag Date to color mark
P.S. I have added some alignment adjustments to make the plot fit into the tool tip well.
Now for Sheet 1:
Clear your column tab.
Drag Date to columns break down to Week in similar way.
Remove Week Attribute from marks.
Edit tooltip as follows: <Sheet name="Sheet 2" maxwidth="300" maxheight="300" filter="<WEEK(Date)>">
Note: Avoid making Date continuous unless relevant to your use case.
Hope this helps.
I would like to combine the information "orders per weekday" and "orders per hour" in one column chart. The first series would show how many orders where placed on mondays, thuesdays, etc. and a second series would show the distribution between the different hours on each day. This would help to answers question "most orders are places on monday afternoons and sunday mornings..."
The result should look something like this:
The big columns represent the days and the red bars the hours (only four days and 5 hours per day in this example).
How can I place the day-column behind the hour-column?
How can I group the hour-column for each day with the corresponding day-column?
I am trying to make a schedule in Google Spreadsheets. One of the features I want here is to have the current activity highlighted based on the time of the day.
In the formula below, understand A as the column that contains times (first column on the picture), and B as the column that contains activities.
=AND(B$1=upper(TEXT(TODAY(), "DDDD")), (TODAY()+$A2)<NOW(), (TODAY()+$A2+(0.5/24))>NOW())
B$1=upper(TEXT(TODAY(), "DDDD")) checks that the day indicated at the top of the column is today
(TODAY()+$A2)<NOW() checks that the time is more that what's in the A column on the same line
(TODAY()+$A2+(0.5/24))>NOW() checks that the time isn't more than half an hour past what's in the A column on the same line
Using this conditional formatting formula, I obtain a decent result (see picture), but when it reaches a merged cell, it'll only work for the first half hour (in this picture, lunch will only be highlighted from 12:00PM to 12:29PM).
To correct that, my idea is to multiply 0.5/24 in the last part of the formula by the height (as in number of cells in height) of the merged cell
Is there a way to do this in Google Spreadsheets?
