    Populate chart series name from text in dropdown menu box.

    Hi,

    I know you can populate a series name in a chart from a value or text in a cell but has anyone populated a series name from the text in a dropdown box?

    I have a dropdown menu with approx 100 entries and depending on which one is selected I would like that name as the name of the series in the chart.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!!

    Terry

    why not link the dropdown box selected value to a cell, and link the chart series name to the same cell?

    That method never occurred to me (Excel newbie) but it worked spot on.

    Thanks for the tip!!
