Reply with quote | #1 | Using Excel 2003 in Windows.
Got a Dashboard set-up working well.
Before I launched it out for review, I protected the spreadsheet (it's interactive so i can't do a pdf conversion).
On the sheet I have 2 microcharts, one icon-based and the other a pareto graph both based on formulae the result of which changes depending on which month you pull from a drop-down box.
Irrespective of which combination of protection variables I use, one updates the other does not. The problematic icon graph will not update unless the sheet is unprotected. I am unwilling to release this to users without protection. Any ideas? |

Reply with quote | #2 | You have to set the cell protection to unlocked for all cells that contain MicroCharts, otherwise MicroCharts cant be updated.

Reply with quote | #3 | Ok - I get that thanks.
Only problem now is that some of the icon charts are green tick if the source data is positive and red cross if negative.
When sheet protected I can get the charts to work as explained in your reply but the colours set up in chart format don't update even thogh the tick/cross does.
Any ideas? |
