excel chart - absolute referencing????!
I have a form I created in VB and it facilitates data entry into a
spreadsheet. Once I fill out the textboxes and click ok, it inserts a new row into the spreadhseet with the new info below the second row. So all the other rows containing previously entered info move down. I need to make a chart that graphs ONLY the most recently inserted rows content. I tried to turn off absolute referencing in the Data series tab, but every time a new row is inserted the graph is not redrawn , because it keeps the formerly entered info from the cells that were in the first row, but are now in the second row .... I hope I was clear enough... Anyone knows how to go about fixing this problem?! |

Modifying your chart to use dynamic named ranges should solve the problem.
For example, assume your X-Axis lables are in the range A1:C1. Your data is in the range A2:C2. Create a simple bar chart based on the range A1:C2. In Excel 2003, assume your workbook is named "Test.xls" and you data is on "Sheet1". Go to Insert - Name - Define. First, create a named range called "Titles" on the range A1:C1. The formula for that named range should look like this: =Sheet1!$A$1:$C$1 Second, create another named range called "Data". The formula for that named range should look like this: =OFFSET(Titles,1,0,1,3) Now go to your chart. In the Source Data dialog box, enter the following as the source for the data series values: =Test.xls!Data For more information, Jon Peltier provides a series of resources on dynamic charting via this link below: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...hartLinks.html -- John Mansfield http://cellmatrix.net "Red_Star20" wrote: I have a form I created in VB and it facilitates data entry into a spreadsheet.
