Hi all,


I have a graph on one sheet and another sheet has 20 sets of data (or 20 series of data). What I want to do is have a drop down, toggle box, a list or something that allows for a user to select any number (1-20) of those 20 series and have them displayed on the graph.


I know how to use a checkbox to toggle true/false which can then be used in conjunction with an IF statement to display the series. My problem with this method is that the check boxes dont make for a nice interface like a drop down list would. Also when I use this method, every series (all 20) is displayed in the legend below, whether they are checked (being displayed) or not.

So plain and simple, can I have a drop down list (or something similar) that can allow me to select which data to display on a graph. It must be able to display multiple series.


Thanks for your time.

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Thanks for the response. I looked those over. They still display the untoggled series in the legend. I need a solution that does the same thing but when the series is not checked or selected, it is not displayed in the legend.
