    Interactive Chart?

    Hello,

    I need to create an interactive Excel Line Graph.

    What I need to do is be able to click on a datapoint on the graph and have it take me to the data specific to that point.

    For instance if I have a chart that shows how many phone calls are taken in a week I want to be able to click on a datapoint specific to the day and be taken to the information for that day.

    Any Advice?

    You have to program some chart event procedures into your chart. This
    article describes chart events and gives some examples:

    Ok, so I've got a chart event class set up but how do I get a "click" event to take me to a table containing the data. All the info I have found toggles charts but doesn't go to specific sections of a table...

    Any Ideas?

    Find the place in the code where it displays a different chart, and instead
    have the code activate the appropriate sheet and scroll to the relevant data
    range.
