Default Line Chart Query

Hi,

I am trying to put together a line chart of some information. The problem is
that it looks quite crowded on the chart. Is there a way of having a line
chart where you can select a few of the data sources to see just those lines,
without having to have a different chart for each data source?

My ideal situation would be where I have 18 data sources, and I can click
between those 18 and see line charts for those 18 individually, or any
combination of them without having to have several line charts.

Thanks.

Default Line Chart Query

Have you tried a filter (such an an auto-filter) on the source data sheet?
If you choose an appropriate criterion for your filter, the chart will show
only the data which the filter shows.
