Hi I would like to change the range for a graph with a dropdown list.
See attached picture to get the feeling. I don't want to have 12 charts
for each month, but one graph and a validation dropdown list with which
I can dictate the graphs' data ranges.
If I select January in the dropdown list, I must take the january range
for the graph, etc.
I do not know if this is possible, but if it is possible that would be
an awesome solution.

this sounds as though a pivot table chart would do exactly what you need.
check out help on pivot tables and their charts.

Jon Peltier has instructions for interactive charts that you could adapt
to your worksheet:
