Hi,

I am running a monthly report regarding brand performance. Each month I have to re-order my legend entry of the line trend chart as per the ranking by market share in case, there is a change in ranks. For example,

JUNE
Brand1 - 33%
Brand2 - 32%

JULY
Brand2 - 35%
Brand1 - 33%

The order of the share ranking is changed. I need to create a macro to automate the reordering. Please help!!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi makrand2486

If your chart is as simple as This value vs That value for the previous month, you can do this with a calculated chart area and not a macro.


Set up another chart area and use If statements to align the data the way you want it so that the right order appears in the legend.
