    Using Listbox to select multiple series for chart dynamically

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to see if it's possible to (without VBA) have a chart that the series (minimum of 2) can be selected from a drop down List in an excel sheet. In other words, a chart that's driven by dynamic data with an option to choose the series to display in the chart (I'm not allowed to use Powerviews unfortunately)
    Thanks

    Re: Using Listbox to select multiple series for chart dynamically

    Hi José, thanks but not quite what I'm after.. I'm looking at to a certain degree mimicking the slicer feature in excel on a pretty standard Excel chart i.e. To be able to select more than one series to display from a list and have the chart dynamically respond to the selection

    Re: Using Listbox to select multiple series for chart dynamically

    Thanks again! I tried the above option before posting but couldn't figure out how to get Excel to just list the field in the VALUES area (not to sum up the values), it currently provides the option to either Sum, Count, Average etc...

    Sure.. In the attached file, the charts tab shows two series.. I'm trying to see if I can have a simple dropdown that enables me to select any of the series on the data sheet and have the chart update dynamically

    Hi Jose,

    Many many thanks, I've just downloaded your dynamic chart, (still going through it) it's not exactly what I was after but definitely something I can use!

    obrigado!!
