Filter, Select, or Remove Info from Chart
 

Hello,

I have a sheet of data that provides customer take rates of offers over a
period of time. Customers receive offers every X minutes and either accept
or reject them. There are several customers.

I am able to create a chart that shows each customer on the chart with their
take rate over the time period. I am unable to select which customers appear
on the chart however. Is there a way to filter the series that appear on the
chart or select them, say so that I only see Customer A or Customers A, C,
and E for instance?

Thanks,
Tom

You can either try creating a PivotChart (Data-PivotTable) which provide the
type of drop downs you're looking for. Requires a little know-how to get the
chart setup the way you want, but is not too hard.

Or, a 'fancier' route is to use dynamic charting. See:

Overall, based on your requirements, I'd go with the PivotChart.

Thanks Luke, I'm familiar with pivots but am having trouble creating one from
the source data due to format of it. I'll try to figure something out to get
this in a pivot.

Thanks again.
