Dear all,
As heavy user of Excel 2007, I'm happy with the quick analysis available through pivot table. Unfortunately the default layout for the contour graph and the need for a regular grid reduce productivity.
So I created a macro call ColorThirdAxis (available in a separate tab in the example excel file) to improve that status. So the current macro works on surface and wireframe charts and on XYscatter charts. For the contour chart, you'll need to simply pick up a colormap in the user form. Then the macro will color categories following the map (for top view contours the bands will be flattened).
For scatter plots, in addition to the colormap, you'll have to pick a range of values defining the point colors. And you can set manually the bounds of the data range for colormap interpolation.
The picture shows a possible result of the macro on the example file.
I hope you'll find it useful.
Notes:
1. The macro uses JsonBag (search on this forum for it) to read colormaps.
2. Credits for the colormap go to the Palettable Python project.
