Interactive Chart Check Box

This document shows how to create an interactive chart with checkboxes to toggle data series on and off. It involves organizing the data, inserting checkboxes linked to cells, creating range names for the data and blank series, and using formulas in the chart series to plot either data or blank ranges depending on the checkbox values. When checkboxes are selected, the corresponding data series will be plotted on the chart. This allows users to customize which data locations are included in the chart.

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

Step A
Create Data and Blank Range Names

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.
