Default Strange Problem with Chart and Plot Visible Cells Option

I'm deslecting the "Plot visible cells only" option on some charts in
order to display a chart while hiding the data. It works well except
for one case.

On one chart when I deselect this option, Excel adds some additional
series' to my chart and also changes the range of my X axis labels.
Does anyone have a clue about this? I'm totally stumped.

Note that on all my charts I've using the Offset and CountA functions
to create dynamic charts that automatically update the chart when new
data is added.

Thanks very much.

Marcus -

If your series are in columns, and there is some data in hidden columns, these will
appear as new series. The hidden rows will have points that are inserted within the
series, providing for more X categories. Offset and Count/CountA are not affected by
hiding or showing cells.
