I'm really struggling to understand how to show a chart in Google sheet that automatically shows the last 7 items. I'm basically trying to create a dashboard. Ideally, I'd like to be able to select a range like last 7 days, last 30 days, month on month (6 months), month on month (12 months), by a quarter
I want a chart that will show A,B,C,D,E,F and G all in one chart.

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 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 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 figure out if this can be done with Highcharts. I have 5 different series on my chart and my X axis is made up of Dates. My problem is this, lets say Series 1 has 2 data points 10 and 15 with dates of 5/1/2013 and 5/3/2013. My second Series has Data that is 15 and 20 with dates of 5/1/2013 and 5/4/2013.
What will end up happening is that 5/1/2013 will show up twice and 5/4/2013 wont show up at all.
Now if I remove the duplicate dates, it causes another issue if Series 3 is 5, 10 with 5/3/2013 and 5/4/2013, Instead of the 5 being listed on 5/2/2013 it is showing up on 5/1/2013.
Is there any way around this? or will I have to make different charts for each Series I want listed on there?
Thanks,
Chris
