POWER USER PRO TIP

Dynamic Chart Source Ranges

If you’re looking to become a legitimate data viz rockstar in Excel, there’s one concept that you need to master: dynamic source data. In other words, charts don’t have to reference a fixed range of cells; instead, they can reference flexible ranges defined by functions like OFFSET, MATCH and COUNTA.

In this tip, I’ll show you how to combine named ranges with data validation lists to let users dynamically select which series to display within a chart.

COMMON USE CASES:

  • Creating interactive dashboards with user-controlled charts and graphs
  • Consolidating multiple visuals into a single chart template
