Default quickly select data to produce charts

Hi

We need to produce charts comparing different variables. The data layout is
simple:
Item 1 Item2 Item 3 - & so on
2.3 1.2 3.5
1.1 2.3 4.2
There is up to 12 columns and 20 rows.
All need to be compared against each other.
Is there a way to choose two variables and then have these updat einto a
chart?
i.e 1 compared with 2, 1 compared with 3 then 4 and so on
I found examples with drop down boxes for one varaible but not two
Help appreciated

Can't you extend the example to the second variable?

Andy Pope shows another approach on his web site: a matrix of smaller
charts, plotting each variable against each other:
