Default displaying totals in a pivot chart

Hi Josh,

If you are plotting a line chart then change the chart type to stacked line.
One at a time select each of the lines below the top one (it represents the
total) and format their line to None.

If you are plotting a column chart change it to a stacked column. Make all
the series the same color. Set the borders for each of the series to None.

In both cases you can turn off the Legend.

Cheers,

I want to display the grand total from a pivot table in a pivot chart. In
a
static chart I normaly just reference the cell with the total to be
displayed
as the chart title. How can I do this with a pivot chart.
