I have a chart in an excel 2007 worksheet where I want to hide the
source data from the end user. The chart and raw data are on the same
worksheet. When I hide the columns for the raw data the chart goes
blank (empty chart).

Its my preference not to create a new sheet for the chart, is there a
way to keep the chart updated even though the raw data cells are
hidden ?

Thanks

Hi,

Select the chart. Chart Tools Design Select Data Hidden and Empty
Cells Show Data in hidden Rows and Cells

Cheers
