Make chart title based on a cell?
From one of my earlier posts:
When you create your chart, don't use the chart title, or if you do, put something in there just as a placeholder, since you'll be deleting it (that way the chart size will adjust to accomodate for the space). Delete your title box on the chart. Draw a text box where the title was. Whith your text box active, click in the formula window and type ='SheetName'!A1 where SheetName is the name of the sheet and A1 is the cell where the title resides. Whatever is in that cell will display in the text box, which can be formatted to look like a title. You must type that into the formula bar at the top. If you type it into the text box as if you were entering text, the box will display the formula, not the value in the referenced cell. -- HTH JonR "pokdbz" wrote: Is there a way to make the chart title based on a cell? |

Make chart title based on a cell?
Great tip JonR - solved a problem I had been struggling with. However I have found you don't need to draw the box - select the Chart, type =(worksheet name and cell reference) in the formual bar and Ecel will automatically make the box for you. I formatted my text in the worksheet in which I placed my Chart Titles and it worked really well. tlosgyl3 -- tlosgyl3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tlosgyl3's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28074 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=556897 |

Thanks for the shortcut tlosgyl3! I'm always looking for the quickest &
easiest way to do things (comes from being lazy). ;-) -- JonR "tlosgyl3" wrote: Great tip JonR - solved a problem I had been struggling with.
