    using data validation to copy charts from another worksheet

    I have been working on a dashboard where I can use drop-down lists to select and copy/paste named charts with the same name from other sheets in the entire workbook.

    I'm trying a few things but none works:

    Activeworkbook.ChartObjects Range("F2").activate

    F2 being the cell with data validation.

    Glad if anyone can help

    Re: using data validation to copy charts from another worksheet

    If the charts are all of the same types - the first chart on the dashboard is the same as the first chart on the other sheets - then copying the charts might not be the best way to accomplish the requirement.

    What you could do is set up a "baseline" chart on the dashboard sheet and use named dynamic ranges to point the chart series to different data.

    This might make use of the INDIRECT command if the data are on different sheets.

    I can't make an assessment on this without seeing how the workbook is laid out.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
