Dynamic Legend Entries?

S

Someone

I have developed a nice dynamic chart with a combo box and check boxes
thanks to those on this list.

I do not have a pivot table.

Is there a way to have the legend just show the series that are plotted on
the graph?

Right now all possible series are listed in the legend and it is too messy.

Thanks!

I often remove legends from my charts. The user has to move from the chart to the
legend and back. I like to put labels right on the data series, such as my
LabelLastPoint trick:

You could adjust this to label the first point if that's nicer. Any labels on
uncharted series do not appear.
