Hi All.

Ive been trying various methods to do this all week, but I'm not quite getting what i want.

I have a massive data table downloaded form an external raw source. At the minute I am importing the data, tidying it up a bit, adding details and archiving.
I have set up a reporting sheet with a selection of command buttons to import various lines of raw data based on criteria. I also have a calculations sheet which compares the data in all different ways to generate reports.

Currently the VBA will filter copy and paste selected data onto new sheet, filter and sort. The graphs are then based on the imported values compared to the archive. The problem is the graphs are fixed. at that point.

What I need to know is the best way of generating these reports so that the graphs would be dynamic, as in if filters are applied to the imported data or the data is sorted. For example if I import 100 lines and I want to display the TOP TEN to put on a graph?

Thanks All
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
You should be able to use an AutoFilter.

Set up the graphs so that they use all 100 rows then just add an autofilter. Then when you select different rows the raph will change to suit.
