Default A copy of a chart doesn't change when the original has new ran

Hi Jon,
Ok so I have read about 6 different tutorials including yours about dynamic
ranges, however as an intermediate user I am still confused.
I have a table G39:K50:

Invoices [GBP] Payments [GBP]
Per Invoiced Gross Amount Payment received Pay yet to receive Rec. vs.
Invoiced
1 2008 26,643.26 26,643.26 0.00 100%
2 2008 17,596.49 17,596.49 0.00 100%
3 2008 45,565.64 31,987.15 13,578.49 70%
4 2008 34,258.51 22,766.73 11,491.78 66%
5 2008 30,873.22 18,138.02 12,735.20 59%
6 2008 39,550.61 22,695.54 16,855.06 57%
7 2008 37,848.49 11,041.48 26,807.01 29%
(blank) 0.00 0.00 0.00 #DIV/0!
(blank) 0.00 0.00
0.00 #DIV/0!


This table ends in a row G50 where December will appear. All cells contain
formulas that either displays month and a year when found in a source or sum
up specified values in a range, so there are "blanks" and "zeros' as the
formulas have been copied down in order to show dispalay new month and sum up
what I need.

Having done little exercise when creating a Dynamic Range according
www.contextures.on.ca/xlNames01.html I could see the expanded range when I
typed new name. Fantastic!. Nonetheless, what I would like to achieve is
whenever new values appear automatically (as formulas will find them in a
table), then the range is expanded.

One of my ranges looks as follows:
Period_Invoiced=OFFSET(table!$G$39,0,0,COUNTA(tabl e!$G$39:$G$45),1) G is
obvoiusly changed for H, I, J, K. I was just to confused with this formula
when using Named Ranges so I left it as it is.
My concern though, is my source data for a chart: Payment
Received=table!$I$39:$I$45, Payment_yet_to_receive=table!$J$39:$J$45,
Received vs. Invoices=table!$K$39:$K$45 and Category X (also secondary
X)=table!$G$39:$G$45.

When new data appears in a table found by my formulas, the ranges do not
expand. I am doing something wrong here. Possibly I should have change the
ranges all the way down to a row 50 but when I did that, also no avail.I
can't add every single time data by hand as I said I have over 100 charts and
I would like to create a tool that will save my time. Aslo all my charts will
be "chart sheets".

I spent all my day trying to sort this out and I just can't get this right.
I fyou could assist me again I would be obliged.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to explain this correctly.
