    Question Excel Dashboard

    Hi
    I found a fabulous Excel Dashboard that I am trying to recreate for web analytics. I have the majority of the formula's figured out but there is one area to the right that has a very small chart and it uses error bars. I have tried to recreate and when I do the chart area behind the physical chart is too big. Have you ever seen anything in relation to doing this. I do not have 2007 only 2003.
    This is what I am trying to replicate.

    can you post your workbook as it's not clear what your problem is.

    I assume the chart to the right you refer to is the line with shaded area.
    Not sure how error bars fit in to the problem.
    Cheers

    PS just trying to display a legible chart on the right in that very small space like the example that I sent to you in my previous post.

    You just need to make a very small chart.

    I have included as chart that is a line with 2 extra series as area, which provides the shading.

    Thanks Andy! Apparently there maybe more features in Excel 2007 as the first example I posted looked "much cleaner". I appreciate your help, as always
