Default how ti find a particular is available


Use dynamic ranges. These "grow" as the table has more
rows added. Set your chart to pick up the data from the
range names.

eg Table is B6:J25

from the menu, Insert/Name/Define
enter a name like MyData
in refers to put this:

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$6,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$6:$B$200) ,9)


Since this is a dynamic range, yuo won't see it listed in
the range names dropdown. to test, hit F5 ( goto) and
type in MyData
then hit Enter

I have a dynamic spread sheet. one day there may be five

rows of data for
charting.
after a week five more may be added. I have a programme

for drawing chart
for the first five rows which is dyamically programmed

which takes into
account augumentatins of data for these five items. But

when I added five
more rows I would like to draw charts for the additional

five rows. If I
use the same programme it again draws fresh charts for

the same rows for
which I have already drawn chart and of course for new

rows. I would like
to have a programme which from a list of names finds out

whether the chart
is available

If the chart is available go to the next name else draw

a chart.

how to go about.

thanks and regards
