How to control chart properties from worksheet
 

Hello experts!

Is it possible to control the chart properties from the worksheet?

I know it is possible to control legend texts (series names).

I am especially interested in controlling the ranges of series. How to
control the title and other texts on the chart would be also useful.

Best regards,

Marko

For dynamic range charts, visit Jon Peltier's website.

For adding controlled text to a chart...

Put "fred" in cell A1
highlight your chart
in the formula bar towards the top of your screen, type =
then highlight cell A1 and press return
the word fred appears on your chart
go to A1, change to "pat"
pat appears on your chart.

You can put calculated fields on in exactly the same way.

Marko -

You can control the length of the series by creating dynamic ranges and
using these as the data range for each series. See the examples and links

You can link a chart text element to a worksheet cell easily. Select the
element (chart title, axis title, individual data label, text box), type =,
then click on the cell and press Enter.
