    Solved: Variable chart parameters

    Hi Forum,

    Can someone show me how to have a drop down box so the user can select start and finsh points for a chart.

    I have included a small example of what I want the final result to look like.

    Basically I recieve a spreadsheet with up to 40,000 rows and 30 colums of data.

    For this part, I only work on 3 columns,

    Column B for X values
    Column E for 1 series of data
    Column G for the second data series.

    The chart range is always defined by the X values, however the x values are not continuos cells, which causes me difficulty to name a range for a drop down box.

    I do not always want to chart the whole 40,000 rows. I may only want to chart between a number of X values.

    To show what I wish to achieve a small example is attached.

    The example has two charts, one covering the complete range, and another covering a part range.

    To achieve the part range I want the user to select the start and finsh points using a drop down box which will show the X values.

    Hoping someone can assist with some code.

    Cheers

    Have a look at the attached. I've only coded for Chart 1, as I'm sure you can manage the other one.

    I've reread your requirements and adjusted the code to change chart 2
