Michael -

Could you instead use a series of checkboxes or dropdowns to select the plotted
data? Here are some examples:

Hi Jon,

It's a golf-program, that has worked very well untill I exceeded the number
of data-rows allowed in Excel. In reality I only need maybe 15 rows of data.
But as my original intentions worked, I haven't thought of it, before now.

All my data are loaded to a sheet where I use AutoFilters via VB-script. So,
if I ask for a certain golf-course or player the filter responds "live" to
the request and updates graphs as well.

I can't get the source data to accept a variable - or I'm not clever enough,
and it has worked well, but now I may need data from row 1 and row 345, which
is impossible, because of the limitations in Excel.

Hi Michael -

That's a lot of series for a chart. Is it going to be legible with so many lines?
I've only ever seen one chart that really needed so many series; an experimental
meteorologist needed custom curves on a chart (non-cartesian lines, like isobars). I
was able to help him combine around a thousand of these curves into a few dozen.

If you describe why you need all the series, someone might think of a similar way to
reduce them.

Is there a work-around the 255-line limit in Excel ??

Transpose won't do the trick, as I need 22 columns of data.

Excel 2000 SP3, on Win XP Pro SP2.
