Hello
I have an excel sheet containing data and graphs(Charts) based on them. I
want these data and graphs to be imported to Access. Data must be linked
together with specific graph (chart). I dont mind if the graph (Chart) is
imported as image.
I want to have a combo box on the top of a form. When I select an option to
appear the data with the specific graph(chart).
How I can do that??
Is there any example similar on the internet to look at it??
Please help me!
Thanks in advance

Hi Kyriaki,

Speaking very generally...yes, it's possible to:

- Link your Excel spreadsheets to an Access database,
- Create a form in the db based on the linked table/spreadsheet,
- Add a chart object to the form based on the linked table OR a query
based on the linked table
- Have the chart object change dynamically depending on what record is
displayed in the form (and how...columnar, tabular, etc.),
- OR Paste the Excel charts in the form as images such as .jpg. Of
course, these will be static images.

It's difficult for me to offer more specific advice since I don't know
how your data are arranged in Excel, your comfort level with Access, or
how you wish to display your data. I suggest you go to Access, link
your spreadsheet (File | Get External Data | Link), build your form or
report (NOTE: Access forms are mainly for data entry. If you plan to
display or print data, use a Report.) using the FormWizard, switch to
Design View, add a chart object (doesn't matter what kind at this
stage), then double-click on the chart to open MS Graph. The Graph Help
file (surprise!) has quite a bit of useful information to help you get
started.

Good luck,

LeAnne
