Chart with VB programming?
 

Hello,

I have a stacked chart with 4 different types of metrics on the Y axis and
the timeline on X axis. I simplified this by breaking this up into 4
different charts.

Alternately, I would like to have a single graph where the timeline remains
unchanged. I then would have 2 dropdown boxes, the first one should help in
choosing which metric I would like to show and the second dropdown should
help if I would like to show the metric in actual numbers or as a percentage.

Is there way I can achieve this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Chart with VB programming?
 

Hi,

The answer is this can be done but will probably require VBA.

Check out Jon's site, I think he does something with this:

I wrote a chapter in an Excel book on this but it's probably out of print.

You can make panel charts to show all series:

Stacked Charts With Vertical Separation -

Or a dynamic, interactive chart to selectively show one series by itself or
with the others grayed out:
