I want to hide a data series in Pivot chart but not in Pivot Table.
As the Pivot table and Pivot chart are Inter related, making change in one affects the other.
I am looking for solution with out using VBA.
Is it possible to unlink a pivot chart axis selection from the pivot table rows? Whenever I remove one of the pivot chart axis fields to display the chart correctly, excel also removes the field from the pivot table rows selection which is not what I need.
The images below may help show what I mean - if I remove field "Division" from the pivot chart axis selection, the field is also removed from the pivot table rows selection. I have a sample spreadsheet which can do this - link is here.
Thanks for any suggestions.
A pivot chart is invariably linked to the underlying pivot table. Removing fields from the Rows field well will remove them in both the chart and the table. That's just how it works.
Edit after viewing sample file:
The sample file has just one pivot cache, but it has several pivot tables. The two pivot tables for the two pivot charts on the dashboard live on the "Pivots" worksheet and are not connected to the pivot table on the dashboard.
So, if you want to create a pivot chart and a pivot table with different fields, you need a separate pivot table for the chart. You may want to create the pivot chart first, on a helper sheet, then move the chart to the dashboard and leave the underlying pivot table on the helper sheet.
Then add another pivot table to the dashboard sheet and use columns that are independent from the pivot chart.
I have data that has different groupings.
The amount of rows could change from data pull to data pull.
I need to create graphs by these groupings that can change dynamically each time I run the data.
Is their a way to do this without having the change the data for each grouping each time?
Make the Data into a table in excel, then use the table reference for the graph, preferable a pivot chart. Data can be added at the bottom of a set of data set up as a table and the additional rows will be added to the table.
Here are some links about setting up tables and pivot tables/charts up.

I'm interested in creating a chart for which I can easily change the data source from which the chart is created. However, as I am hoping to grab this data from a pivot table (as I am using a Mac and cannot create pivot charts), I am having some difficulty constructing the named range.
The link below shows what I am hoping to do but with a pivot table rather than a normal table:

Is this possible? If so, how can I adapt the formulas given in the linked website to use with the pivot table?
Thank you in advance!
Goto Insert --> Pivot Chart
Select the data cells along with header. (Apply required formulas to your base data itself)
Choose existing or new worksheet as per your requirement.
Select the column labels and row labels and sigma values according to your requirement.
Automatically a pivot Bar graph would be generated. This will also have a default filter option where if you select particular values, the graph will automatically get changed.
If there are any modifications to data, just right click the pivot graph and click refresh Data.
