How do you make this a endless loop of displaying the charts (except if you hit the esc key)?

Tony – You arrange the charts by using the Send to Back / Bring Forward functions (right mouse button on your chart.

"...In step 3 of the chart wizard..."

Doh! I meant Step 4 of the Chart Wizard.

You can only use the data in the pivot table in a pivot chart. However, there's no rule that says you have to make a pivot chart from a pivot table. This article describes a bit about pivot tables and pivot charts, and how to make a regular chart from a pivot table:

Cool, thanks, I play with that next time I have a chance. Is it possible to VB controls on there as well? Most of my charts are based on input parameters, I like to be able to change those parameters and immediately see the results. Unfortunately my parameters involve long array formulas and I haven’t figured out how to use them in a pivot chart.

On a chart sheet, there's the main chart (which you can hide by deleting all of the series).

Then you can have embedded charts the same as on worksheets. In step 3 of the chart wizard, or by choosing Location from the Chart menu, you can choose to have the chart on its own sheet, or as an object in any of the sheets listed in the pulldown. And this pulldown lists all sheets, not just worksheets.

Ok, this is probably a newb question but how do you have multiple charts on one chart sheet?

A chart sheet can contain chart objects. This is more complete:

Sub ShowStarringAllCharts
Dim Sht As Object
Dim ChtObj As ChartObject
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Sht in ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
If TypeName(Sht) = "Chart" Then
Sht.PrintPreview
End If
For Each ChtObj In Sht.ChartObjects
ChtObj.Chart.PrintPreview
Next ChtObj
Next
Application.DisplayFullScreen = False
End Sub

of course it might compile a little better with “End If” after “Next ChtObj”.
