Default dynamic chart title

Dont know if this has been asked before but, how do you make the titl
of a chart dynamic? I want to control the title in a cell in the sens
that if i change the cell text, it would update the title in the chart
I want to avoid clicking and editing the chart title every time.

Any help would be appreciated

Default dynamic chart title

If the chart already has a title:
--Click on the chart to select it
--Select the chart title
--Type an equal sign -- you'll see it appear in the formula bar
(you don't need to click in the formula bar before typing)
--Click on the cell that contains the text for the chart, e.g. C6
--Press the Enter key.

If the chart doesn't have a title:
--Click on the chart to select it
--Type an equal sign -- you'll see it appear in the formula bar
(you don't need to click in the formula bar before typing)
--Click on the cell that contains the text for the chart, e.g. C6
--Press the Enter key.
--Drag the text box from the centre of the chart to the top
--Use the buttons on the formatting toolbar to format the text

Default dynamic chart title

Once you have the title on the chart, select it, then go to the formula bar
and put in the formula

=Sheet1!A1

Now when you change the text in A1 of Sheet1, the chart title will change.

Not sure that was covered in the link provided.
