Default Remove old month from chart add new/no manual reference change

Hi Kameel
Its possible only.

Example:
First Row months (A1: Jan, B1: Feb,..)
Second Row values (A2: 10, B2: 20,..)
Put any column (eg. K10) this function:
=ADDRESS(1,COUNTA(A1:AA1)-3)&":"&ADDRESS(2,COUNTA(A1:AA1))
You will get the cell address of new four months.
Click InsertNameDefine
Enter CName in Names in workbook field
Refers to area: =INDIRECT(Sheet1!$K$10)
Then click OK.
Open Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11)
Go particular sheet object area
Paste below mentioned code

VB Code
Dim tmpBC As String
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
tmpBC = Range("K10").Value
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If tmpBC < Range("K10").Value Then
Call Refesh_Chart
End If
End Sub


Private Sub Refesh_Chart()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 4").Activate 'put your chart name
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("Cname")
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=rng, PlotBy:= _
xlRows
Range("A1").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I want to graph the latest 4 months without having to go in a change
refrences in the chart each month.

Next month
feb mar apr may
20 30 40 50

If I drag the last months across to pick up the formulas for the next month
I get 5 months on the graph instead of 4
