How do I link a chart title to a cell in a table?

I have a chart to plot data from a table (a pivot table, in this case, but I don't think that matters).


I can add a title and manually type it in, but I'd like to link it to a cell in the source table.


Can that be done? I don't see anything, but it is such obvious functionality that I assume I'm overlooking something.

As SG already wrote you can not link the chart title to a cell in your source table.

But you could make something that looks like it.


Switch off the title from your chart

Create a new table that has only a single cell, position this small table above your chart

Now write a formula / link in this cell and it will display whatever you want



It is not the most elegant way, but it will do the job.
