In my experience I have come across numerous people who so wish that their charts are ‘Interactive’.

Trick of the Week:: Interactive Charts in Excel Using Chart Events
This is a common requirement while creating dashboards. One selects an option and the charts update to show data for that particular selection. It would be very useful if the same chart could show you how that particular selection fares against average or a set benchmark.
Comparison Chart Against AverageLet's take an example. I have data for a class of students with their subject marks. I make a selection of the student name, his marks for each subject are plotted on a chart. I wish to see how this particular student has performed in each subject as against the class average. This custom chart does just the same, and it can be very very easily created in Excel as below:
Step 1: Create a Clustered Column chart with both the series.
Step 2: Right-click on the series that you want to compare and plot it on the secondary axis.
Step 3: Format the 'average' data series, decrease gap width.

Step 4: Ensure that the primary and secondary axis have the same units and same minimums and maximums (as desired)
Step 5: Format the chart until you are happy with how it looks.Comparison Chart Against Average
Step 6: Your chart is ready :)

Excel offers a panoply of interactive controls that make this possible. I'll be the first to admit that working with interactive controls were really intimidating to me when I first started. They seemed to have a lot of moving parts. But once you understand how they work and learn a couple basic functions, they're actually quite intuitive to use.
