Keeping a series table from updating when adding new rows.
I have a spreadsheet where the information begins at row 5 and carries on for
many more rows. The information is ranked with row 5 representing the latest information, and the bottom row representing the oldest information. If I have a chart that plots the "latest five values" (a5:a10), then I decide to insert a new row 5, representing the very latest update, how do I keep Excel from automatically updating the chart to plot a6:a11? I want it to stay a5:a10, incorporating the latest row insert and dropping the oldest. |
You could adapt the dynamic chart technique that Jon Peltier describes he

based on peltier;s dynamic range (referreed to by Debra Dalgleish) use
something like this =OFFSET(INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$5"),0,0,6,1) Debra Dalgleish wrote in message ...
