    Excel chart and disabling cells

    Hi Everybody,

    I have a question. Attached is a dummy sheet with a chart. In the sheet you will notice that there is only the chart and cells behind it are all disabled. Can you tell me how do you do it?? Looking forward to your help

    Re: Excel chart and disabling cells

    i also notice the chart has not data as the cells behind it have been deleted?

    if this is what you want then you would just setup a chart to look like how you want it and delete the sheet behind it?

    Re: Excel chart and disabling cells

    i am still confused on what your after
    on your original sheet there is no data linked to chart that is why the chart appears that way
    now you are saying there is data behind the chart but you want the chart to appear that way

    with the link under the section
    Move a chart to another worksheet
    once the chart is on its own sheet the background will be disabled there would be no cells to enter into
