Interactive Charts - Checkboxes
Select the data you want to plot with checkboxes
This workbook shows you how to set up your data table, range
names and checkboxes to give Users an interactive capability to plot
any combination of data series that they want.
apability to plot
Goal:
Approach:
Interactive Chart - Checkboxes
Toggle trend chart series on/off by checkbox
Use range names. Based on checkbox, plot blank or data series
1. Organize Data
A. Create Data range names for date, data and blank series range names
B. Add checkboxes for each series with linked cells
C. Create Show data range names for T/F linked cells
D. Create Series_X range names for each data series - Data or Blank series de
2. Create chart with all data series.
3. For each chart series, edit series formula to include Series_X range names
Data
1 2 3
Step A
Create Data and Blank Range Names
blank
data_79_Rest
data_amvet
data_average
data_city_hall
data_first_donuts
data_second_donuts
series_79
series_amvet
series_average
series_city_hall
series_first_donuts
series_second_donuts
show79
showamvet
showaverage
Blank Series
Step:
Show Data
Checkboxes?
1
False
Series Formula
Series_1 =If (Show_data_1, Data_1,Blank)
True
Series_2 =If(Show_data_2,Data_2,Blank)
Series_3 =If(Show_data_3,Data_3,Blank)
True
Step B
Insert Checkboxes
Establish Title, Linked Cell
Step C
Create Show_value Range Names
Assign Range Names to Each Linked Cell
Show_data_1, etc.
=OFFSET(week,9,10)
=OFFSET(week,0,1)
=OFFSET(week,0,5)
=OFFSET(week,0,7)
=OFFSET(week,0,2)
=OFFSET(week,0,3)
=OFFSET(week,0,4)
=IF(show79,data_79_Rest,blank)
=IF(showamvet,data_amvet,blank)
=IF(showaverage,data_average,blank)
=IF(showcity_hall,data_city_hall,blank)
=IF(showfirst_donuts,data_first_donuts,blank)
=IF(showsecond_donuts,data_second_donuts,blank)
=Chart!$D$4
=Chart!$D$8
=Chart!$D$9
showcity_hall
showfirst_donuts
showsecond_donuts
week
=Chart!$D$5
=Chart!$D$6
=Chart!$D$7
=OFFSET(Data!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(Data!$A$2:$A$1000))
eries range names
Data or Blank series depending on checkbox
es_X range names
Step D
Create Plot Series Range Names
Depending on Linked cell value
Plot data series or Blank
ata_1, Data_1,Blank)
ata_2,Data_2,Blank)
ata_3,Data_3,Blank)
Step C
e Show_value Range Names
n Range Names to Each Linked Cell
