Is it possible to create a chart without including the hidden data?

    Anna,

    The hidden data is still part of the range. Alternative interim options: move the hidden data to another place in the sheet or move/copy/cell link the data you want to chart to another part of the sheet(s) and coming soon in April timeframe you can select specific columns in the range to chart and therefore you can exclude columns.

    Thanks

    Looking forward to this addition. I was going to suggest also, that you could create manual cell links to your data into a new sheet. And then make charts from that new sheet which is linking to just the data you want.

    All,

    We just released the new capability to select specific columns from your data range to chart against.  After you have selected your data range, in the chart preview panel you will find a new button called "Select Columns".  You can then select specific columns in your data range you want to chart against. Hope this help.
