In the previous article, I told you how to add, change, and remove chart titles in excel. In this article I will tell you how to change the chart title dynamically, then you can make the chart title change according to a special cell text.
1. Excel Dynamic Chart Title Example.

- The first row of the data table is the table header row.
- We also create a column chart based on the data table.
- And we want to set the data table header A1 cell’s text as the chart title.
- You can follow the below steps.
