This is an Excel replica of excellent Tableau visual made by Marc Reid here.

Last week, I saw a stunning visualization on Tour de France using of radial charts on twitter.

As an amateur cyclist, somewhat pro data analyst, I jumped with joy seeing that visual. I immediately thought, this needs to be redone in Excel. So here is an implementation of radial charts in Excel.

How is this chart made?

This will be a brief recipe with links to other articles that explain the technical elements. Feel free to poke around the download file to discover odd missing elements.

Step 0: Inspiration

As mentioned earlier, the inspiration for this came from Marc Reid’s excellent visual. I loved the visual instantly and wanted to replicate it in Excel as much as possible.

Original vs. replica - tour de france visualization

Step 1: Getting data

The data for this came from Thomas Camminady’s page on Every cyclist of Tour de France in a single CSV file. As the name suggests, it’s a CSV file, so there was no post processing needed. For each year, each finisher there is one row in the data set with columns like name, team name, duration, distance, pace, position and few other bits.

Step 2: Calcs for radial visualization

Meet ometrys. You might have seen them back in high school.

  • Geometry
  • Trigonometry

They will help us take the cycling data and transform that in to a radial chart.

Since there is 94 years of data (between 1913 and 2017 there were 94 editions of the tour) each spoke will be separated by 2pi / 94 radians.

Let’s take a look the anatomy of radial chart spokes.

anatomy of radial chart - single spoke
single spoke - zoomed - points we need to calculate

We could simply draw one line per spoke, but to get the thick edge, thin center look, I went with triangle approach.

As you can see, if we can calculate points a,b,c & d for each year, our job is done.

The center is (0,0). Points a & d lie on the inner ring. Points b & c depend on the actual distance (or pace) we are plotting for the given year.

Let’s say inner ring size (radius) is defined by a named range hole.size and triangle edges are separated by 1 degree (2pi/360 radians).

  • point a (x,y) = (hole.size * SIN(theta), hole.size *COS(theta))
  • point d (x,y) = (hole.size * SIN(theta + 2pi/360), hole.size *COS(theta + 2pi/360))

To calculate b & c, we need to use the distance in that year too. As the distances (and paces) are all over the places, I have used a scale.factor to scale them down or up to make the radial charts uniform. This is how the formula looks for points b & c.

  • point b (x,y) = (dist/scale.factor.d * SIN(theta), dist/scale.factor.d * COS(theta))
  • point c (x,y) = (dist/scale.factor.d * SIN(theta + 2pi/360), dist/scale.factor.d * COS(theta + 2pi/260))

As we need 4 points for each year, we need to calculate 4 x 94 values to plot the radial chart for distance. Similar set of values need to be calculated for pace too.

Once all these values are ready, it is a simple matter of creating XY scatter plot, formatting it to get the spokes.

This method of drawing spokes / radials in Excel is explained in great detail here. For more also see network relationships chart in Excel.

The calculations for line charts are rather straight forward, so I am not explaining them here.

Step 3: Extra series for highlighting max, min and selected values

Once the calculations are done, we can add additional x,y values for each of these scenarios.

  • If the pace is maximum, then get (x,y) else (NA(), NA())
  • Pace is minimum, get (x,y) else NA()
  • Year is selected by the user, get (x,y) else NA()

Step 4: User interaction for year selection – scrollbar form control

I added a scrollbar control to the visuals area and then set it up to go from 1913 to 2017. We can use the linked cell value to drive the calculations needed for “year selection” bit.

form control for selecting year

Related: Introduction to Excel Form Controls

Step 5: Stats for selected year with Picture Link

For the selected year, we can easily calculate stats (winner’s name, duration, distance, pace and percentage changes compared to previous edition of the tour). Once these stats are calculated, we can show them on the visual by using picture link. As you play with the scrollbar, the picture link changes.

Here is a re-cap of all the 5 steps in construction.

tour de france - radial charts in excel - how it's constructed?

Other bits & pieces

  • We can add labels for important points on radial chart by using “value from cell” option for data labels.
  • But the labels on XY charts tend to be poorly positioned. I needed more space between edge of spoke and label. To get this, I added an extra label series that is offset 12 points from the edge.
  • We can add number of finishers in each year and see that trend too. As you can see, over the years, the competition has gone intense.

The final output – Tour de France distance & pace over time as radial charts

How do you like the visualization?

My love for cycling, data and story-telling coincided perfectly in this. That said, if I remove my rose-tinted glasses, I can see a couple of issues with the visualization.

  • Redundancy: The line charts at bottom depict the same info as radials, but do a better job. They can work even with 500 data points, where as the radial spokes will get very busy with such large volume of data.
  • Obvious: The conclusion from visualization is “as distance goes down, pace has gone up”. But this is kind of obvious.

That said, I loved the challenge of replicating it in Excel. I would say, barring the trigonometry part, it is rather simple to re-create this in Excel. I suggest giving it a try to improve your charting skills.

          The Input Box doesn't close maybe till all stores' values are entered (when "capture sales" button is pressed). Also, Alt+F11 doesn't work when Inputbox is open. Because of this, need to forcefully shut down excel. Is there any workaround for this problem?

    Nice example Chandoo! I'm looking forward to joining VBA Class; these examples are such a great teaser! I have a big project at the office I'm looking to automate so I cant wait to save the time

  3. Dev Bhatia says:

    Great....!!! I am a regular reader of your blog. I am new to VBA but you just made it as easy as eating a cake. Looking forward to your next awesome articles. You guys at Chandoo.org are wonderful.

  4. Dave says:

    Excellent tutorial with clear explanations of the variables etc.
    I would only add some emphasis on the importance of using the
    'comment lines to track what the code is doing.
    This helps a lot if you need to modify it later, or if someone else needs to follow it up after you have lost the job!
    I tend to be rather verbose myself due to short term memory problems 🙂

  5. David says:

    Chandoo, I know it's only a sample, but why didn't you indent your code? Makes it easier to read, especially when you're using conditionals and loops.

    I use Smart Indenter (http://www.oaltd.co.uk/indenter/default.htm) to auto-format my code for me. So far no problems in Excel, and I also use it in MS Project modules and forms as well. Saves me the headache of trying to format everything by hand.

    And ditto to Dave's comments: Early on in my career I didn't understand the importance of commenting, and after having to go back and revise and add new features to old code I'm kicking myself for not commenting as much as I should have.

  6. Ravi Kiran says:

    Good post Chandoo. You are very best at teaching.

    One small error to your notice - In the downloadable file "Store Number 5" is repeated 7 times. I hope you can change it an re-upload the file.

    The above code runs, but does not do what I want it to do, i.e., use each variable in the range, "POSc", as the pivot table field selection "POS" to create a unique report for each person's "eMailID".

  15. Hi,

    Thanks for such a great website. It has been very useful to me. I have done an IF formula to calculate Tax in excel but would like to write it as a UDF in VBA, can anyone help pls? Please see the formula below. Pls note that if taxable income is 5,751,882 then tax  = 1,605,565.

    IF(TAXABLE INCOME<=150000,0,IF(TAXABLE INCOME<=450000,0.15*(450000-150000),45000))+IF((TAXABLE INCOME-450000)<300000, (TAXABLE INCOME-450000)*0.2,60000)+IF((TAXABLE INCOME-750000)>0,(TAXABLE INCOME-750000)*0.3,0)

     

    • Hui... says:

      Abdul
      Try the following:
      Function Tax(TI As Double) As Double
        If TI <= 150000 Then
          Tax = 0
        ElseIf TI <= 450000 Then
          Tax = 0.15 * (TI - 150000)
        Else
          Tax = 45000
        End If
        If TI > 450000 And TI <= 750000 Then
          Tax = Tax + (TI - 450000) * 0.2
        ElseIf TI > 750000 Then
          Tax = Tax + 60000
        End If
        If TI > 750000 Then
          Tax = Tax + (TI - 750000) * 0.3
        End If
      End Function

      To use it copy the code and paste it in a Code Module in VBA
      In excel simply use:
      =Tax(Value)
      or
      =Tax(A1)

      I hope the logic is correct but you can adjust to suit

      • Abdul Aziz Sowe says:

        @Chandoo, I was trying to join VBA Classes but getting a response that my card cannot be used to pay. I am using a Visa Debit Card from Sierra Leone. Will appreciate your help. In the meantime, Hui, can you pls help me with a udf to calculate taxable income?

        The logic is: taxable income = Gross Salary - (Social Security Deduction + 220,000))

        Looking forward to your response.

        Thanks.

  16. Thanks a ton, Hui.

    It works perfectly.

      For doing this you need to select you all sheet by pressing ctrl+a.
      After that you need to press ctrl+1 at your left side and in the last whenever you will put numberic figure in that sheet $ symbol autometically shown at the end of figure.

    Hi Chandoo,

    I use Excel spreadsheet a lot and find writing some basic logic statements that will generate a result for me. For example, in the above example of yours (i.e. 25 stores reporting revenues) I can do that in Excel spreadsheet using " =IF(....)".

    My question is, how do I convert my knowledge of " =IF(...)" into VBA? Where do I start when I have a different scenario and thus a different " =IF(...) " logic?

    I am not technical, and am only learning VBA from your tutorials (just finished lesson 1 🙂 ; and btw, your site is very helpful. Great Job!

    how to learn easily coding/programming in VBA in excel which sources is useful

  27. Saad says:

    Also logic use in VBA and how are we better in vba

    • Hui... says:

      @Saad
      Programming or making a Model in Excel is effectively the same thing
      It is purely the format of the environment and the syntax of the language that you are working in that is different

      You break a problem down into logical steps
      where each step or group of steps represents generally a physical or data flow component from real life

      Variables are simply cells (in the Excel Model) or Variables (in VBA) that can hold a value or string
      eg:

      In Excel
      A1= 10 Sales of Apples
      A2= 20 sales of Bananas
      A3= A1+A2
      =30 Total sales

      In VBA
      Dim Sales_of_Apples as Double
      Dim Sales_of_Bananas as Double
      Dim Total_Sales as Double
      Sales_of_Apples = 10
      Sales_of_Bananas = 20
      Total_Sales = Sales_of_Apples + Sales_of_Bananas

      =30 Total sales

      VBA has a number of tools that allow more effective decision making and repetitive functions or loops to be performed a lot simpler than can be done using Excel

      To learn,
      1. Start with small problems and slowly get bigger by introducing new functionality and steps to your VBA
      2. Look at other peoples solutions to problems and ask how/why they did what they did
      3. Read a book on VBA, They typically walk you through from the basic steps to advanced steps in a logical sequence

    Hi Chandoo,

    Very good basic understing of VBA and Macro. However I am not clear how this programe will simulate the Macro.. I am not clear, whether program will run the excel or excel data will create the programme..? please clarify.

  29. Eric says:

    Hi,

    I was able to go run the macro on my own and it worked. I notice the macro does not store the values to excel, is this expected? Is there a way I can do this?

    Thanks,
    Eric

  30. Naveed says:

    Excellent tutorials Chandoo. I am new to VBA. I was wondering if you want to add another question, like "What is the store number?" before putting in the associated sales value, how do you do it?

  31. Splinkey says:

    Noob Alert!

    Am I the only one who is having an issue with this example.

    When i copy this code into VBA for a blank sheet and ensure that the range C7:C30 is as shown in the Gif

    Store Number--Sales for the day--Reason for Deviation
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    ......

    when I enter a value for store 1 in the input box, excel overwrites the store number with the value i've just entered, rather than writing it in the "Sales for the Day" column and if there is a reason for deviation it gets written to the "Sales for the Day" column?

    I thought I could fix this by editing the line of code
    store.Value = InputBox("Sales for Store" & storenum)
    to
    store.Offset(, 1).Value = InputBox("Sales for Store" & storenum)

    and editing line

    store.Offset(, 1).Value = reason
    to
    store.Offset(, 2).Value = reason

    Which sort of worked, but now asks every time "Reason for Deviation", regardless of Value?

    #stumped
    #helpaNoobweek

    • Splinkey says:

      When I say it sort of worked. I mean that it does now correctly write the value to the ""Sales for the Day" column, but now asks for reason for each store?

      Thanks

    Love this, can you just explain to me how the End If works

    End If
    storeNum = storeNum + 1

    What is VBA doing during this process ? Why would the Integer StoreNum being itself + 1 end the program ?

    Here is what I need to do. If I have a very long file with pairs of data in 2 columns for example:
    A 1
    B 2
    C 3
    D 4
    and so on

    I would like to arrange this data in 4 columns, so it looks like this:
    A 1 B 2
    C 3 D 4

    How can I do that? I created a macro that will do it for the first 2 rows, but how do I repeat that (range) until the spreadsheet reaches a blank cell?

      @Ratan

      D1: =OFFSET($A$1,2*(ROW()-1),0)
      E1: =OFFSET($A$1,2*(ROW()-1),1)
      F1: =OFFSET($A$1,2*(ROW())-1,0)
      G1: =OFFSET($A$1,2*(ROW())-1,1)

      Copy D1:G1 down

      • Ratan says:

        Thank you for your suggestion. But I was looking to do this without having to copy the formula to the entire spreadsheet. Also, the number of rows from one spreadsheet to another may be different. So, is there a way to write the program for the first two rows and make the program repeat it (via range or some other function) until it reaches a blank cell when it will quit.

        I am new to VB so, your suggestion of Copy D1:G1 down, is that a part of the macro, or you're saying copy it manually?

        I had written a similar Macro in Lotus many years ago, and the statement in Lotus was \branch which took the operation to the top and repeated the function until it reached a blank cell when it quit. Unfortunately, there's no more Lotus.
        Thanks.

    iRow = 14

    Hi Chandoo,

    I tried to re-write the code by myself but got stuck here :

    Sub ATTEMPT()

    Dim start As Integer
    Dim sales As Range
    Dim reason As String

    start = 1
    For Each sales In Range("D1:D10")
    sales.Value = InputBox("Sales for Store" & start)
    If sales.Value 5000 Then
    reason = InputBox("Why", "Reason", "Deviation")
    sales.Offset(, 1).Value = reason
    End If
    start = start + 1
    Next sales

    End Sub

    but the line with the condition has stuck without any reason and it shows debug error and does not go further beyond that?

    I am new to this.

    Thanks
    Vidushi
