Hi

Much depends on charts (are they similar or very different), but probably
you can have a single chart, which datasource is modified accordingly the
selection from data validation drop-down on sheet. You can :
a) use a hidden table as datasource for chart - data in source table depends
on selected option(s);
b) use dynamic ranges as sources for series - range definitions depend on
selected option(s);
c) modify chart datasource (and/or chart type) through VBA code - with
selected option(s) as parameters. You have to use a procedure or worksheet's
Change event for this.

om...
I am new to VBA programming for Excel, and I need some help on how to
accomplish the following:

I have an existing spreadsheet with 5 charts. I would like to create
option buttons to allow the user to see one chart at a time.
Currently all the charts are displayed on one worksheet, and various
inputs in the workbook affect the charts. When I code Option Button
Click, how do I manage to display the different charts for the
different buttons. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
