    cannot expand a pivot chart horizontally

    Hi. With your help I now have a very effective pivot table. I have created a pivot chart from it and located it into a new worksheet. All looks good.

    I need to stretch the chart as wide as I can, to see the detail more clearly, but the display seems to be contained into a central area of the screen.

    Am I doing something daft ?? (I often do)

    Thanks,

    K

    Hi,

    Is that chart in a worksheet, or is it its own chart sheet?

    I created the pivot table 1st, then created the chart from it, choosing to put it in a separate worksheet.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data. (Remove private or sensitive data that shouldn't be published)

    If you inserted the chart as a new sheet, it is a chart sheet, not a worksheet, and that is why you can't resize it. If you were to embed it into a worksheet, you could resize it.

    Ok many thanks. Should I have embedded it into the original pivot table then? Or can I insert it elsewhere. Ought I create a dummy sheet and insert it there ?

    You can create the chart on a worksheet then select the chart, Ctrl + X to copy and delete. Go to another worksheet and place the cursor where you want the chart and Ctrl +V to paste the chart. You can now move and resize the chart on the worksheet.

    xlnitwit is correct.

    You cannot embed it in a pivot table but you can put it on the same sheet. Simply right click and move the chart.
