I have a sunburst that adjusts to two drop downs. I am trying to make the title reflective of the users selections to give further clarity to what the chart presents but I can't seem to get the title to accept a cell reference. Might anyone know if this is a limitation or am I just not doing it correctly?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Can you not select the picture, click the formula bar then =cell?

I can select the sunburst. I can add a title. In the title section, I'm expecting to be able to put "=" and select a cell that has the dynamic title, but it won't let me select the cell.

Whilst I know nothing about charts, it appears that you cannot use a formula for the title on a sunburst chart.
However you could put a shape covering the title & use that instead.

Thank you for your suggestion - I think I'll use that in place of a title to the graphic!! Thank you - I would not have thought of that solution!

The issue of this solution is that you can't save the diagram as jpg including the title. It doesn't seem possible to include a object in the diagram as with other diagrams as well.
