Dynamic Chart blues

[scu51lly]

Hello everyone,

I've been reading this site for a while ray:, this is my first time posting.

Problem:

Need to create a Pareto Chart (dynamic)

Data:

11 Stores
42 categories (altogether)
Not all 11 stores have data for all 42 Categories

What I know:

I have managed to exclude the categories with zero values using na(), but the place holder for the category remains, blank, but it stays.

what i need(wish):

Ideally i'd like my chart to adjust not only the scale, but the category axis (x-axis) as each facility is picked using a combo box.

in other words, only show the categories for which there is data for any given facility.

I've tried dynamic ranges, but doesn't seem to work as it leaves "valleys" where the category is na()

is this possible?

Have you tried using a Pivot Table and Pivot Chart?
