custom chart - variable axis - multiple charts

P

PJ

I have a pivot table that has the below fields

month
team

and data sets for

match win %
game win %
winnings

and would like to have a separate chart created for each team on the same
page without having to manually create each chart. I can create a single
chart easily, with the win % items on the left axis, month on the bottom and
winnings on the right axis. I have created a customer chart type for this,
although I have to manually change the chart type when data is refreshed.

I would like to have Excel automatically create all of the charts, and
adjust the axis according to the data for that team, and also to keep the
chart type when updating. So I have 3 problems. Please help! Thanks.

Untested suggestion:

Put the team as the 'Page field' (not the 'row field'). This will let you
see the results for a single team at a time. The associated PivotChart will,
consequently, be only for that one team.

As far as the customization of the chart goes, you have run into one of the
quirks of a PC. XL insists on reseting the chart to the default values after
each refresh. You can either (a) create a regular chart based on the PT data
or (b) use a macro to undo the damage XL causes to your custom PC.
