Good Morning All,

 

Any idea how you lock a chart layout on combo charts  when using slicers on pivot table.

Whenever I change the data with a slicer the layout of my combo chart changes!

 

Any help gratefully appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy,

This is a common problem with Pivot Charts. You would need to set the items in the Slicers to 'show items with no values' so they are always present in the chart, which probably isn't what you want.

When you filter a chart the chart adapts to the data in the PivotTable. If the data applicable to the line or columns is removed from the PivotTable then the chart cannot remember those settings when the data appears again as a result of another change in the Slicer.

If keeping all items visible in the chart at all times isn't an option, you might prefer to build a regular chart from the PivotTable data.

Thanks Mynda,

 

Would it be possible to have a macro that runs after the pivot table data is changed by slicer to modify the chart layout?

I have attempted a few bits of vba code but I can't get it working using … Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable).

Hi Andy,

Probably. Post your question and VBA code and file in our VBA forum where someone can help you. Please also advise them that you have cross posted this question on LinkedIn (and anywhere else) so that you are in line with forum guidelines.
