Excel Dynamic Charts - Easily Create Dynamic Charts using FILTER & SORT functions

[@NashvilleFanatic]

Help! This isn't working for me - the chart's range is staying static based on the dynamic formula spill range when I create the chart. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!!!

[@maangeljose]

Same issue here :(

Well done Chris, working from home ignorance is not bliss, self taught in Excel I am so blissful. This is exactly what I needed saving me so many headaches with VBA macros and multiple combo boxes to simulate your filter and unique examples. The dynamic lists are so much better in every respect to my scheme. The hidden logic is gone and it will be easier for users to see how the various charts are formed. Maintaining the sheets with my poor memory is also going to be quicker. Thank you!

Hi Chris, why doesn't my chart change but my filter data does. I can see the data (made with filter function) but the graph deosn't?

Hi Chris. TX for your great vids. An improvement you could make to the validation list is to place the following into the source box of the list validation: =$K$2# The above will always extract the whole list coming from the SORT(UNIQUE(...)) formula. If you place a hard-coded range in there, as you did when highlighting with your mouse, the list gets truncated if it grows longer. Keep up the great vids. Cheers 👍

Great tip! Thank you.

U don't need to highlight the whole dynamic list in data validation. Just highlight the first cell then put # after it. It will highlight the whole list on it's own. Also, u don't need a 1 in sort function. It's in ascending order by default.

Excellent points. Thanks, Michelle.

Hi Chris, these dynamic functions are new to me but I just have to ask a logical question...isn't this creating the same thing as a pivot table and a pivot chart would do or is there something I'm missing in the use of these dynamic functions? Love your videos! You keep me learning!

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Hello, Holly! One difference with the dynamic function is the initial range can be sorted, and the chart stays the same since it is based on a dynamic function. With a Pivotable and PivotChart, you change one, and the other changes.

Great overview about some key dynamic array functions. Very cool and useful examples. Thanks Chris!

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

Very welcome!

Chris please can you help me to unlock password protected word document or any suggestions??? Thanks

[@DarylHawkins-zh3ww]

How do you the same thing but ignoring and not creating a column for no values?

[@daninega582]

Hello Chris, is there a new method to open password protected word to open ?????

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

No method that I know of to open a file that is password protected. I have seen third parties advertise they can, but I haven't tried any of them.

[@BabakAfsharipour]

You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you very much. Very useful and informative. Thank you Chris!

[@markpodesta4605]

Thank you Chris. So no more named ranges needed to create dynamic charts?

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

That is correct. Thanks, Mark.

[@AdityaKarjagi]

Thank you for this training material. Can you show how to add "All" option in filter?

[@Robert_512]

Good stuff Chris. The Dynamic Array formulas changed my life! No more Ctrl+Shift+Enter!

[@ChrisMenardTraining]

I agree. Thanks, Robert

Hi Chris, how can we link up. I have a question for you?

[@jojothegigolo6259]

Can you make a trend from this function ?

[@aal2002]

Wow! This was GREAT! Thank you!
