Hi,
I think you will need a VBA solution to this one.
Try this in a standard code module,
Public Function UDFMYCRITERIA(Data As Range) As Variant
'
' Return first visible cell contents
'
* * *Dim rngCell As Range
* * *On Error GoTo ErrUDF
* * *For Each rngCell In Data.Cells
* * * * *If rngCell.Height 0 Then
* * * * * * *UDFMYCRITERIA = rngCell.Value
* * * * * * *Exit Function
* * * * *End If
* * *Next
ErrUDF:
* * *UDFMYCRITERIA = ""
* * *Exit Function
End Function
Then the formula in the cell used to hold the chart title would be
=UDFMYCRITERIA(A2:A200)
where A2:A200 is the column containing information to be displayed.

That was my first thought, I would just tie it to a cell, no problem.
However, when I click on the autofilter dropdown box and choose a
different name to filter the list the displayed name changes but the
cell reference stays the same. I need the title to display the same
name as the filter criteria. Is there a way to construct a UDF that
ties to the currently applied autofilter? If so then I could go that
route.

Hi,
Use a cell to construct the required title text and the link the chart
title box to the cell.

I have a simple line chart based on the the data displyed from using
Autofilter. I select only one criteria at time to display. I want to link
the chart title to the filtered criteria. So when I choose a different
filter the chart title will change to the new filter. Is there an easy way
to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Roger
BTW, I have both XL 2003 & XL 2007.
