percentages
I am charting a figure from January and I would like to have each month's
subsequent figure as a percentage of January's. Is there any way to do this in a chart without having to have it as a formula in the spreadsheet?

Hi,
You will have to use formula to calculate the values. That said you can use a named range to do the calculation and plot the data. Assuming data in cells A1:A5 add this named range. ChtData: =(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5/Sheet1!$A$1) Create a chart and set the values to use this named range. First point will be 100% others will be a percentage of the first point. Here are some explanations of using named ranges. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Dynamics.html http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/ne...rts/index.html http://www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme/E...ps/Dynamic.htm Cheers Andy Mark Scott wrote: I am charting a figure from January and I would like to have each month's subsequent figure as a percentage of January's.
