When comparing many sets of data with a line chart, too many mussy polylines in the chart will disturb the data analysis. The Check Box Line Chart utility of Kutools for Excel helps easily create an interactive line chart with checkboxes in Excel. The checkboxes control the data series in the chart, when unchecking a checkbox, the corresponding data series will disappear from the chart; when checking it, the data series will reappear.

Let’s see how to apply the Check Box Line Chart feature to create an interactive chart with checkboxes in Excel.

1. Click Kutools > Charts > Category Comparison > Check Box Line Chart. See screenshot:

2.2) In the Axis Labels box, select the axis labels data;
2.3) In the Legend Entries (Series) box, select the data you will display as the chart legend (where the checkboxes display);
2.4) Click OK.

Then the interactive line chart is created. You can check or uncheck the checkboxes to show or hide the data series in the chart based on your needs. See the below demo.
