    Question Make Excel Charts Dynamic using Named Ranges

    Hello Excel Experts...
    I need a small help to add my named ranges into charts to make them dynamic based on the values we choose from drop down..Attached the file i am working on.

    What i have done until now:
    1) Created dependent drop down list in "Charts" sheet (Range B3 and Range D3) based on the table available in "Data" sheet.
    2) Created Named ranges to reference the table dynamically based on name chosen from D3 cell.
    These Named Ranges are as below
    - Codes : It refers to the table data below the Name
    - dataRange : It refers to the table data below the Months
    - EntireTable : It refers to the entire table data for name chosen at cell D3.

    What i need help on:
    I want to add these named ranges into the chart shown in "Charts" sheet to make it dynamic based on Name chosen using drop down at cell D3.
    When i add 'EntireTable' named range, excel crashes and i struggling to use 'Codes' and 'dataRange' named ranges into this chart.

    Please help me out.

    Thanks in advance.

    The data layout in "Tables dashboard" is very inefficient. Can I change it, a lot????

    OK. before I start on this, please explain (in words) the purpose of the split between category 1 and category 2 and how that affects what will be plotted.

    It wont affect actually... Instead of providing one single drop down with long list,i made a split based on category..My only concern is the uneven heights of table, thats what makes it bit challenging i believe...

    Re: Make Excel Charts Dynamic using Named Ranges

    Great..I am able to see your are commonizing the tables...Thanks for your help..One more help, in real i have long list of names..So is it possible to create searchable drop-down list (just similar to Google search)..? Its ok if it takes your lot of time.. Once your work it out on this tables, i will definitely do a detailed study to learn new things..
    But Glenn, why did my original tables cant be made dynamic..? Per my knowledge i was able to create Named ranges to select dynamic tables, why cant that be plotted into charts..? Just eager to understand...

    May this is what you want?
    If you change category and name the chart wil also change.
