Easily create a dynamic column chart in Excel

Normally, when using Excel built-in feature to create a column chart for multiple series, all series are displayed in the chart at the same time (see the screenshot below).

If you want to display only one series at a time and dynamically change the series as needed, here highly recommends the Dynamic Column Chart feature of Kutools for Excel. This feature helps to create a dynamic column chart with a drop-down list to display data for one series at a time by selecting the series from the drop-down list.
