Hide data series in chart - toggle on and off
Excel 2002 SP3
Win XP HE *Follow-up to: microsoft.public.excel.charting* Hi, I have a chart with 3 series. 2 are on right axis (secondary) and 1 on left (primary). Is it possible for me to toggle on or off 1 of the series? I cannot just hide it by choosing "none" as plot data as it still plots it even if not visible. I am really trying to fix scaling problems.... Thanks. |

Answer: Hide data series in chart - toggle on and off
Yes, it is possible to toggle on or off a data series in a chart. Here's how:
To toggle the data series on and off, you can use a checkbox or a button linked to a macro that hides or shows the data series. Here's how to create a checkbox:
Now, when you click on the checkbox, the state will be stored in the cell you specified. You can use this cell in a formula to control the visibility of the data series. Here's an example formula: Formula:
To use this formula, select the data series and go to the "Select Data" dialog box. In the "Edit Series" dialog box, enter the formula in the "Series values" field, replacing the data range with the formula. Click "OK" to close the dialog boxes. Now, when you click on the checkbox, the data series will be hidden or shown depending on the state of the checkbox.
