If I delete Band 4&5&6 in the data source, the result showing in the column chart would be X axis still keeps Band 4&5&6 length but without label on it and column of Band 4&5&6 also disappears. You assign a pay range to that band, but you don’t base it on a job title. endobj
You need a stacked column chart with eight categories instead of the six in my example. Office 2016 is the upcoming Windows version. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. I’ve deleted the chart title, but you should use a title that describes the data being displayed. Office 2013 is the current Windows version of Office (including Excel).

Set up the data as shown, using a MATCH formula to find which bar the engineer’s grade falls within: This column should be to the left of the salaries, since it will be used as X values for the XY series we will plot.

It may become too cluttered to add labels for each. Despite the text of the category labels, the XY data must treat them as if they start at 1 and increase by 1 for each successive category. Thus when converting to Primary axis only I get a very confused graph. <>
One question though, I have about 300 employees, and although I’ve gotten everything to work, a lot of the points overlap so you can’t actually see all the markers or be able to visually see how many employees are in each band/bar (more or less), is there anything that would allow the markers to spread a bit more horizontally but still stay clustered enough to be able to see they are all part of the same band? Clean up the vertical axis labels by using a custom number format of. I still don’t know how to format the XY scatter series to be plotted on the Primary axis. Then add markers in the same way I did it here. <>>>

What you could do is add a small jittering factor to the X values for the markers. However, I just figured out that if I change the numbers of the grades to 1 – 10 for example it works, as I had them as 5 – 12 before. But if I delete the 2 data sets, engineer 7 and engineer 8 column will disappear, however, the x axis still goes to engineer 8 x value as the end. The first step, is to select the minimum and remove all color. Add the individual salary data as follows. I’ve selected the chart so the chart data range is highlighted in the worksheet.

It’s the same as my example, with a few more pay grades and quite a few more employees. Note in my example, there is a band for Engineer 6 but no individuals in that band. For example, template max is 8 engineers, but my company max is 6 engineers, so i will delete the engineer 7 and engineer 8 data set.

If based on your company actual situation, I want to delete the engineer 7 and engineer 8 data set, the engineer 7 and engineer 8 column in the chart will also disappear automatically, but the problem is the x axis still goes to engineer 8 x value.

I’m assuming I could do the floating bars to show the min and max for each position, but then i would like to show where the employees in those positions stand with plot markers. If you adjust the individual data, for the markers in the chart, there will be no markers where you don’t want them, but the bands will remain in the chart. Instead of Engr 1, Engr 2, etc., you use your own job titles, along with the min and span to get the floating bars. x��UKO�@�[���.

This is why it works when you use 1-10 instead of 5-12. Also if you changed the range for the Y values of the bands but not the X values, the category axis may still contain labels for the nonexistent bands.

I have used Jon's tutorial on something similar (Salary Chart: Plot Markers on Floating Bars – Peltier Tech Blog) however, when I try to paste his points like he does it does not work. I’m wondering if there is a step I am missing or if there is a fix you could recommend?
