I need to make the background of my XY chart transparent so I can see related cell data in the worksheet behind it.
I can change colors, but transparency does not seem to work.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Select no fill from the format menu:

That finally worked. Thanks.
My error was selecting "plot area" instead of "chart area".
