An “easy” way? Unfortunately, no. You need to write a VBA routine that steps through the data, making one chart per relevant subset, and placing thei chart where it belongs. Or you need a prebuilt report with the data and reports, and a VBA routine that helps the user update teh data and makes sure the charts update properly.

One thing that makes this hard is that each example of such a program is different from all others. My data is arranged differently than yours, and my report is laid out differently.

Doris - Between With srs and End With, you need a line like: .ChartType = xlChartTypeArea

I was looking at this example and I have a similar situation– what would be the vba command to set the series in the second loop as a different chart type other than the default line with markers?

I don't know why you got the error, but I misunderstood what you wanted. Remove the line I had you insert before, and replace the existing Name line as follows:

    With srs
      .Values = rng.Columns(iCol)
      .XValues = rng.Columns(4)
      .Name = "=" & rng.Cells(0, iCol).Address(True, True, xlR1C1, True)
    End With

Jon,

I tried it and got a “compile error: expected: identifier or bracketed expression” message for that line. Would have been nice but at this point it looks like they will just have to name those series manually. Thanks for your help though!
