Dynamically changing chart series (without vba)

[xenou]

What is the best way to accomplish the following:

• to have a forms listbox or combo box with 3+ categories to choose (Animals, Vegetables, Minerals)
• to have a chart that will dynamically show data depending on the choice.

I've tried
a. forms control linked to link cell
b. link cell feeds a target cell with the address of the data range (based on the selection)
c. Named range (MySeries) uses indirect and the cell from (b) to reference the data for the chart series. I.e. =Indirect(rngTarget) where the value in rngTarget is something like Data!A1:A10, which should be my data for the selected category.

Anyway, when I put (c) into the chart (=Book1.xls!MySeries), nothing shows...
The strategy is similar to that shown here:
http://excel.tips.net/Pages/T002376_Easily_Changing_Chart_Data_Ranges.html

Should I just try again and see if its some stupid mistake I made? Is there a another good example or a better way to do this?

I should like to avoid VBA but obviously I could write code to change the series ranges if it comes to it.

Hi xenou

This worked for me:

I created the following worksheet names in Sheet1:

Animals =Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6
Minerals =Sheet1!$F$2:$F$6
Vegetables =Sheet1!$E$2:$E$6
YValues =INDIRECT(Sheet1!$A$1)

In A1 I used data validation with List:

=$D$1:$F$1

I created a column chart and used for the YValues of the series:

=Sheet1!YValues

Selecting the values in A1 causes the chart to automatically display the corresponding values.

Thanks, I fought mightily with this reading your example and the page link above. I believe my problems were mainly having Offset and Index in some of my formulas, which Indirect() couldn't handle. So I generated the range addresses in my lookup table, rather than range names, to feed to Indirect(). Graphs update as expected now. Whew. Too much work though ... Alt + F11 next time for me!

I'm glad everything is working ok now.
