Hello,
I am a novice user of Excel.
I have a large spreadsheet relating temperatures of an "item" to %conversion of "item" at these temperatures. The columns go something like:
<tbody>
</tbody>
Linked to this is a scatter graph of temp Vs conversion for items 1, 2, 3.......
The problem is I now have too many "items" and it's difficult to compare on 1 graph with all the data on it.
What I want to do is filter horizontally so it only shows, for example, the data for items 1, 5 and 10. (So I pick what data is displayed). Then the scatter graph will show only, in this case, the data for items 1, 5 and 10.
From searching I've found ways to filter for 1 thing only but not multiple things (as in the tick-box thing you get with autofilter when used vertically).
I guess the answer is going to use VBA code. In this case, can you also please explain, or give a link to, how/where to copy the VBA to as I have no idea how to use it.
Thank you for your help.

Temp of Item 1 | % conversion item 1 | Temp of Item 2 | % conversion item 2 |
100 | 10 | 105 | 15 |
120 | 30 | 124 | 50 |
140 | 90 | 135 | 85 |
200 | 95 | 190 | 90 |
