Jon, while your method does work as is, it doesn't fit my design. Meaning,
your explanation of creating 12 data series will plot 12 line on the chart,
which is not what i'm after. Remember I mentioned I have a combobox with
dropdown list from which a user will select one item out of the 12, and they
should see a single line for that item. Showing 12 lines week by week makes
the chart too busy, besides, i'm really ploting products growth %. There's no
growth relationship between the products themselves, so no sense plotting all
of them at once. Is there a way to accomplish this dynamically and having the
dropdown list working at the same time?
Thanks.

I hope this is
=OFFSET('Model'!$B$66,0,0,COUNTA('Model'!$B:$B)-65,1)
and that B1:B65 are all filled.
Is this the refers-to formula for a named range? You should have one range
for X and one for Y for each series in the chart (though the X can be used
by multiple series).
Named range for X values:
Name: ChartCategories
RefersTo:
=OFFSET('Model'!$B$66,0,0,COUNTA('Model'!$B:$B)-65,1)
Better:
=OFFSET('Model'!$B$66,0,0,COUNTA('Model'!$B66:$B11 7),1)
Named range for first set of Y values:
Name: ChartValues1
RefersTo:
=OFFSET(ChartCategories,0,1)
Named range for second set of Y values:
Name: ChartValues2
RefersTo:
=OFFSET(ChartCategories,0,2)
etc.
Use
='Model'!ChartCategories
='Model'!ChartValues1
for the X values and Y values for the first series,
='Model'!ChartCategories
='Model'!ChartValues2
for the X values and Y values for the second series, etc.

Jon,
First my list is populated from another report list on the same sheet. My
chart list is as follow:
Weeks on column B (B66:B117) while my heading/labels start from C65 to
N65.
I have this formula on O65 =OFFSET(B65, 0,$S$64) S64 is my link cell. On
C66 I have this formula =IF(D7=0,NA(),D7) and copied down C66:N117 this
formula basically looks the above report list and populate the data while
substitute any zero values with #N/A. Up to this point my chart is fine
and
the combobox is working fine. Currently my list is showing actual data up
to
week 16 and #N/A thereafter.
Here's the formual i'm trying to use to help plot only the data and
ignores
#N/A which currently it didn't
=OFFSET('Model'!$B$66,0,0,COUNTA('Model'!$B:$B,-65),1), I have similar
formula based on the values on column O, as my 'Y' axis values. Model is
my
sheet where the report list chart list and the chart reside.
Thanks.

I have a dynamic line chart with 12 data series that each contains
weekly
data for 52 weeks, and set up as a combo box chart. Currently I have
data
for
only 16 weeks, while the rest of the year is howing zero values. I
changed
the zero to #N/A to avoid plotting that on the graph, which worked
fine,
but
the issue is the X axis. I have tried 2 options but neither produced
what
I
needed.
* I have used a formula to show the weeks as N/A if no data available
on
the
next column.
** I used the OFFSET formula to creat a range, but both options plotted
the
#N/A on the X axis. How can I incorportate a range successfully in
another
OFFSET formula (combo box with dropdown list) to plot only the cells
with
data. Any help is greatly appreciated.
