I'm building a dashboard in Excel, and I have an example file that has a very slick picture object that is actually a dynamic graph that updates based on value selected in a separate listbox control. The value of the picture is simply "=SelChart". This file has no macros, and I can't locate any defined range, hidden tabs, data connections, etc. that helps me understand the source data, and how this picture dynamically refreshes itself (again, this is NOT a Graph object, it is a picture). Any insight on how this might work? I'd attach the file, but this website apparently decided attachment functionality is not useful​
