Excel’s charting tools visualize data, such as sales trends or financial metrics, using charts like column, line, or pie charts. A dynamic chart title updates automatically based on a cell’s value, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
1. Dynamic Chart Title In Excel
To change the chart title, one needs to manually change it by typing the text in the box. But we can make the chart title dynamic which means it will get automatically updated by referring to a cell in the excel sheet. Whenever the value in the cell gets updated same gets reflected in the chart title. For the purpose of demonstration, we will compare the sales(in units) of two different products over the given years:
To create a dynamic chart title, follow the below steps:
Step 1: Select the cell containing the data.
Step 2: Select the 'Insert' Tab from the top and select any chart (column chart).
The column chart will get created,
Step 3: Choose a cell to be referred for chart title and enter the title there.
Step 4: Click on the Chart Title box.
Step 5: Go to the formula bar, type equals to (=), and then select the cell having the title value.
Step 6: Press Enter.
We can see that the Title of the chart is changed now. To check if it is getting dynamically updated, let's change the value of the title in the cell.
Output
We can see that the chart title becomes "2021" after updating the value in the cell.
