I previously built a dashboard built on a dynamic range of a table in order to omit the empty rows. Unfortunately the Data Model corrupted.

Am I able to somehow use the various filter functions in order to build a dynamic dashboard. the pivot tables do have functions I don't think I can do in filter arrays.

Bcuz of the dynamic nature of data, it was table>dynamic range>pivot table>pivot chart. I"m wondering if I can do table>filter>chart. Or are the charts going to be extremely simple?

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
you can pivot chart from a filter list , placed in a new sheet - just did it
OR do you mean the source data for the chart is using a filter, somehow
in which case not sure how you add that into the source chart data range

researching - not sure how to get filter to spill into a table, so then the chart is dynamic from the table and the filter can remove the blanks - maybe need something like powerquery to create a table and then the pivotchart can use the table reference - but i don tknow how to use powerquery (only recently been available in Mac excel versions)
