    Leila is God sent! This is the only method that worked for my case. My chart needs to reference data in a pivot table and change dynamically based on a user's selection on a slicer. All the other methods I used had a delay or required that the slicer button be pressed twice for it to work. Having everything on one chart like this did the trick! TY

One thing that might be helpful - for some reason when I selected stack and scale unit 1 for one of my icons it looked really odd - it seemed to replicated the icon hundreds of times at a very small size giving it a 'furry' look. I tried various things to fix it, nothing worked until I changed the unit size from 1 to 100 and it looks fine now. It wasn't an issue on the other icon though. Thanks again!

    Dear Leila, I can't find icon insert in Excel 2010. I can find the icon via the web. But I could not change the color and build the line for the icon. Please help.
