1. First, put the X values to the left of the Y values. It's not strictly
necessary, but Excel by default uses the left column for X.
2. I would use a dynamic charting approach, which accounts for a changing
range of data:

3. I would deal with the condition of plotting only Y5 by defining another
name. In my example I used a name "VertValues" for the dynamic Y value
range. I would define these names:
Name: TheMinimum
Refers To: =5
Name: VertValues2
Refers To: =IF(VertValuesTheMinimum,VertValues,NA())
Use VertValues2 in the chart rather than VertValues.

I'm looking for a Dynamic means of populating a bar chart.
Cloumn A (Rows 2-200) Has the Names (Y Axis) of each Item and Cloumn B
(Rows
2-200) (X Axis) has the Number Values. My problem is twofold... One, every
week the Y axis list can grow or shrink and Two, I only want to show those
that have an X Axis value that is greater than five. Anything less than or
equal to five I would like to have hidden from showing in the chart.
Is it possible to have some sort of way or formula that can make this
possible in a chart or in pivot table?
Thanks in Advance.
