Default Bar chart question?

I have a list with names and values as follows:

A B
Law 22
Low 5
and so on for 34 rows. But the list can very in size. I have a chart that
takes the data from this list, but I can only have the source "1 to 34" rows.
Is there a way that the chart veries with the size of the list?

You need to explore the concept of 'dynamic chart'
Start he http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Dynamics.html
If you need more Google <excel dynamic chart'

If you have Excel 2007, it is every easy: just select the data used for the
chart and make it an Excel Table. The chart with expand/contract with the
Table. See http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en...oks/12284.aspx

Excel 2003 has its "List", which for the purposes of a dynamic data range
(i.e., source data for a chart) works just like an Excel 2007 table. Select
the range, and press CTRL+L.
