    Question Excel 2010 Pivot charts & displaying filter choice

    Hi

    I create charts every month, and create a pivot of data and a chart based on the pivot table.

    The user can select which manufacturing group they want to look at and the chart refreshes with only that area's data.

    But the area chosen's name/title isn't reflected in the graph, so I can't easily cut and paste the chart into reports unless I manually refer them the group they are looking at.

    Is it possible please?

    Here's an example:

    Thanks so much I'm really looking forward to hearing from you
    Clair

    Can you post the actual file or a copy that reproduces your issue?

    Thank you, how do I post an actual file (spreadsheet) please? I can make a copy and remove unnecessary tabs?
    Thanks

    When you go to reply, you can see an option of 'Go Advanced'.

    Click on that & scroll down to 'Manage Attachments'

    Select Add Files, Browse to your file, Upload the file & click 'Done' when it's uploaded & it will be added to your post.

    I did the steps from memory so it should be similar to what I described.

    Cheers

    Question Re: Excel 2010 Pivot charts & displaying filter choice

    Thank you

    Forecast 2014P12 Nov CH 1.xlsxForecast 2014P12 Nov CH 2.xlsxForecast 2014P12 Nov CH 3.xlsx

    I've had to split the tabs out and reduce to one product family to fit within the upload limit.

    The pivot is fed by the forecast table, and the graph is based on the pivot.

    I've had to limit it to one product family, so the select button doesn't give choice, but I'd like the family group name to appear on the graph if possible :-)

    Hope that makes sense?

    Thank you x 1 million
    Clair

    Hi Clair,

    As far as I'm aware Pivots don't support this feature, but as a work around you can add a text box as a Chart Title that reads a Cell value.

    I haven't tried it myself but the below link explains how it's done with a normal chart.
