charts
I'd like to create a Master Chart - with a drop down box to chart the data
from 76 different tabs (one at a time). How would I start to get that done? |

Here's a start: http://vfdrake.home.comcast.net/file...worksheets.xls There are a few obvious and not-so-obvious things you need to know to manage this: - Add your sheet names in Chart! column A (blue text). The combo box should automatically update choices as you add/remove sheet names here. - Fill down formulas in Chart! columns B:E (green text). - Assumes charting data is cornered at A1 of worksheets -- but cell A1 is blank. Follow the examples. Place desired chart labels in F2 of data sheets. - Named ranges contain dynamic formulas that drive the chart. Hope this helps! |

There was a problem with the file I initially uploaded. Excel balked because the combo control was embedded in the chart. I corrected the problem and uploaded a version that actually works. Sorry for any confusion. |
