    Hello DanDavis,

    what do you mean by
    link them to the relevant month from the other sheet in this document
    ??

    If you want to show or hide individual columns based on the check boxes, check out

    But I'd advise you to place the chart in a regular sheet instead of a chart sheet.

    So when i click the Jan Check box on the graph it shows the Jan Data from the complaints sheet. Same theory when i click the Feb check box and all the months on there. Cheers

    Looking at the link, I cannot see a similar example to mine. I tried to replicate the example from the check boxes, but it did not work

    The simplest solution, it seems, is to use a Pivot Chart.

    However, the article is pretty clear and includes a download example.
    You simply need to substitute the Months in your workbook for the "Y1", etc. series in the example.

    Do you know . . . ?
