Default changing the vlookup col_index_num

Still having isues with the 2nd part... 1st part works great - thank you.

I have excel2007 so what am I changing my cell reference to in the table?

I can get a return of the first cell reference only in my item - but not the
6 weeks that I need...

I used =OFFSET('[FY09 VMI Detail.xls]VMI'!$J$61,0,$B$4,0,-6)

[FY09 VMI Detail.xls]VMI'!$J$61 - is where the data table is starting with
week 1
$B$4 is where I would enter the current week

can you tell what "part" I am missing?

2. you might try to use 6 helper columns to define chart series - somewhere
else in your worksheet
(insert weeknumber in say AA1)

=OFFSET($A$1,,$AA$1-COLUMN())
then drag/copy right

and change yr references for chart series through right-clicking on yr chart
then-Select Data (depending on Excel version you use)

hope this isn't vague - if so do come back with further questions

Problem 1 - thank you - I did not think that I could do that.
Problem 2 -

A simple graph pulling in data in rows 1-101 Columns b-ba hold weeks 1-52
sales data.
for instance week 6 I use col b thru g for the data points. Week 7 I need
to use c thru h for the data points.

hope that makes sense.

1. insert yr col number in a particular cell
then refer to the cell in yr formulae
change the week number by changing that cells' value

2. to achieve this you would need to provide more details - the solution
may
require working out some formulae

I have a spreadsheet where I update the col index number each week to
reflect
the new weeks data for about 100 customers. At this point each week I
go
in
and change the col_index_number in each vlookup by 1 (100 times). Is
there
an easier way?

Problem 2;, I also change the graph range to reflect the prev most 6
weeks,
thus these charts (100) need updated each week as well. Can anyone
help?
