First, the technique mentioned in http://chandoo.org/wp/2008/11/05/select-show-one-chart-from-many/ is more complicated and wouldn’t work with form control / active-x control based charts.

You should try this one instead: http://chandoo.org/wp/2009/05/19/dynamic-charts-in-excel/

Now, Form controls cannot be moved and sized with cells. but active-x controls can be moved and sized with cells. So, instead of form control scroll bar, try the active-x scroll bar and connect it to a cell. Then, use the above data filter based dynamic chart technique to show / hide the charts.

Good luck.

PS: you might as well write a macro based thing for all this. It is more clean and easy for the users.

I have a question if I may:

I have made made charts containing form controls (scrollbars) and would like to show these charts by selecting them from a listbox (like in a previous post http://chandoo.org/wp/2008/11/05/select-show-one-chart-from-many/)

would this be possible perhaps?

How can we put this dynamic chart in powerpoint?

@Jon: exactly… preparing data is an important step for any type of analysis or visualization.

It’s a “Pay me now or pay me later” kind of thing. I tell people they can spend five minutes on their data, and save five hours of frustration later on.
