How do I set my chart title to the contents of a cell, and then what ever
the cell contents are, the chart title is changed to automatically?

Any,

Thanks, just what I was after however I'm going to be greedy now. Is it
possible to add a second line of text to the title?
I can currently edit the title on the graph and add a carriage return and
hence a second line in the title. is this possible, like X&Y sub headings?

Hi,

If the cell contains a newline character (ALT+ENTER) or a formula
version CHAR(10) then that should be reflected in the chart title.
Although the formatting of both lines will be the same.

You can use other text elements of the chart to hold cell linked text.
such as x-axis and y-axis titles. By add a dummy data series and setting
it to the secondary axis you can also use the secondary x and y titles.
Also Data labels can be linked.

And as you have done you can embed a textbox within the chart.

Cheers
Andy
