My file does not make use of Solver.

Prompts for VB project passwords are often the cause of third party COM or .NET add-ins which do not properly release system resources. These ad-ins may not even be related to Excel, and they are definitely not related to the VB project whose password is being requested. These are a difficult thing to track down and fix.

Thanks a lot, that was exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

You have to construct the second series in the same way as the first. It has to be based on dynamic named ranges, so it shows only the years before the highlighted point.

I’ve worked up an example with two series in GapminderIIa.zip.

I was playing around with the file and wanted to introduce a second set of data so I can have two moving bubbles at once. When I put the new data series into the chart, the graphs no longer seem to clear the “breadcrumbs” and the yearly posts remain. Is there something I need to change about the code if I want to have two data sets moving at once?

Thanks for any help.
