Dynamic chart question
I understand using the offset and named range
However, when I go into the data range (of the chart) and try to put in the range that I created - it doesn't stick. Meaning I can type in the range name - hit okay and when go back to date range the name is not there What am I doing wrong? |

Dynamic chart question
I do it through the Series tab instead of Data Range tab of the Source Data
dialog. I enter the range name in the Values window (X Values and Y Values if XYScatter). You need to preface the name with the workbook name. If you enter the worksheet name instead of the wb name it will typically change it but won't raise an error. For example: ='Sales Report.xls'!DataRng where DataRng is the range name.

Thanks - that is what I eventually ended up doing. Was hoping to do it
through the data range then each item in the series. Thank again. "Greg Wilson" wrote: I do it through the Series tab instead of Data Range tab of the Source Data dialog.

You can set the source data using a defined name in the Data Range tab, but
it is converted to the cell address, as you've discovered. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Brad" wrote in message ...
