Hi John,

By "bounding boxes" I assume that you mean the highlight around the source
data.

One reason might be what you are selecting - for example, if you select the
chart gridlines the highlight will not appear.

Another reason - if you select a series on a pivot chart the corresponding
range does not highlight.

Also, if the source range is complex, for example a single series using
non-contiguous ranges will not display the highlight.

If the data series has been converted to values no range will be highlighted.

Why don't Excel bounding boxes appear on some chart data sources? When I
click on some charts, they appear, while other charts they don't. What
setting controls this?
