Hi,
You can not put the chart behind the cells. What you might be able to do though is make the chart area None so that cells below the chart can be seen through the chart area when the chart is not selected. Or you could just move and size your chart so it does not cover the cells.

You can put the chart in the background. Create the chart, save the chart as
a graphic image. Choose File, Page Setup, Custom Header, in the left header click the Insert Picture button and find your chart. In effect this is a watermark, which I believe Microsft says can't be done in Excel. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Hello Mr. Pope:
I tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly. Of course, in hindsight, as always, it seems the perfectly logical thing to do. Thanks very much "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, You can not put the chart behind the cells.
