suppose i have data for 500 firms formatted as - column wise company names ;
row wise daily share quotes. i can create the graphs one by one for the daily
price variations of each stock in the worksheet.
my problem is- [1] how to hide the chart in the worksheet ( as the chart
created is displayed on the same worksheet).
[2] link my charts to the firms name, so that on cliking the name,
correspondingly the chart can be displayed (either in a new xl sheet/ word
doc/ ppt or in the same workbook in a new sheet).

This post ought to get you started.

Hi,

One way to do this is to use the OFFSET function and a combobox to return
the company name and quotes in another row. Then use this row to create your
chart. Choosing a different company from the combobox will then create a
different offset value, and hence a different chart. This is very useful for
keeping the file size and clutter down as there is only ever one chart at a
time.
Let me know if you need an example.
