Attached are some ideas for dynamic charts, including pivot chart, or charting by row or by column, as per user selection.<br />
<br />
If your data source changes &quot;drastically&quot; please provide a few samples of how this could look, so the dynamic formulas can be adusted accordingly.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a set of data that needs to be charted that is changing based on drop down that the user selects.<br />
<br />
<br />
The data looks like this<br />
<br />
Product &nbsp; &nbsp;| Month 1 sales | Month 2 sales ..... | Month 12 sales<br />
product1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;30 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;30 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 20 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The number of products changes drastically (1-40) based on a dropdown on another sheet. I'd like to graph &nbsp;this data automatically using vba or any other trick.

Excel VBA Dynamic Charting.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

Spreadsheets

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
